I have fallen in love with the NN Eddy but don’t like the name Edward.Edison seems like a more modern version And similar name to the name Jackson. I love it but as I’m getting closer to my due date I’m second guessing myself . Is is too unique? What Would other people think of it?

Maybe it’s my pregnancy hormones but I don’t know what to think anymore, please help.

Sorry not for me either - it's in that camp of last names used as first names. I like Edward as is classic but no good if you don't.

It's not to my taste. Edmund?

I think it’s nice !! And I love eddy. I’ve been living in Australia for the last 7 years so I’m not sure how popular eddy is in the UK. I feel like it’s an obviously very well known but not sure popular these days ?? Not sure where it ranks in the top baby names. Edison is a bit different without being too “out there”
