Heath Grant or Edison Grant?

I have written a post here before, as we love the names Heath & Edison for a baby boy due at the end of May. We both like Heath better, but unsure if it sounds good with the middle name Grant. We would like to take the father's middle name, the surname is 2 syllables. The fact Heath & Grant both just have one syllable, it making me want to go for Edison. What do you all think?

He'll be good to rock down to Electric Avenue - happy memories of nights out there so thanks for the memory.

I love Heath

If Grant is the middle name it really doesn’t matter because middle names are very rarely used.

I prefer Heath out of the 2 names. Edison would automatically become Eddie, then Ed and I don’t like those shortenings.

I don't like Edison but could get used to it. In my opinion Heath, on the other hand, sounds like you're giving birth to a 55 year old bloke who enjoys a pint and a game of darts on a Friday.

And actually…do you really want people to be singing ‘Baby come back!’ Every time they hear your kids name. Because that’s what will happen if you call them Eddy Grant

Eddy Grant has a good vibe

A light bulb moment. Henry or Edward?
