edison?

[delilabell]

Is this pregnancy hormones making me think it's a good name? Are eddy and teddy very popular?

Teddy is very popular, but Edison will be known as Eddie. So you'll have to like that just as much...

It is a nice name with nn but edison is a screw fitting on light bulbs and that's all I thought when I read it!

It's great.

I have an Eddy.

Why does everyone assume Eddy is spelt ie?

Harrie?
Teddie?
Gerrie?
Terrie?
Freddie?

All look totally stupid with ie. To me at any rate. Makes them feminine.
I get girls names are now acceptable with ie and they have to say which way they are spelt.

But Eddy?

Anyway. Love Edison. Sorry for the thoughts

There's one Teddy, one Freddy and one Eddy at school. All have varied full length first names.

And mine is also called Ed a lot.
So do you like Ed and Ted?

Is it??? I had a dream about it the other night and liked it.
It would work with ds name as his is quite unusual

OP I think like me, you see it spelt with a Y
Eddy

Lots of Ted's are actually Edward. So I still think Teddy works with Edison.

My Eddy is not an Edward nor an Edison.

Sorry does it was to screw fitting! I like eddie/y but not ed as much....have just msgd dh suggesting it. He's not even replied ;-)

My Eddy has only really become Ed at school (now 5) by some close friends. It's cute hearing his best mate (Harry) call out Hey Ed

Light bulbs.

I prefer the less surnamey Ed names like Edward and Edwin.

They wouldn't go with ds1's name as they're too far apart. I think it's going to be a no from dhs reaction!

Great name! And you never know what his nickname will really be. He could have some funny incident with his friends arty some point and end up being called something random like Ant!

There's an Edison at DS1's school. I did think it was odd at first, but it's grown on me.

Re. Eddy and Teddy - Edward seems to be getting a lot more popular, at least where I live, so that's likely to boost the number of boys going by Eddy / Teddy.

We have an Eddison - Eddie. Everyone seems to love it !

Eddie Redmayne
Eddie Izzard
Eddie the Eagle

to name but 3 well-known Eddies. Just for the pp who seemed baffled by this spelling.

I quite like Edison.

I know an eddison - he is four and it hasn't been shortened!

I like Edison and Eddie (or Eddy!)

Edison rocks.

Edward is fine but a bit ordinary. Edwin is fusty.
Edison is awesome.

Dh is still not having it! I need to work on him!

I have an Edison. He goes by Ned but is only a toddler. I really like that he'll have lots of options when he's older along the Ted/Ed lines. Currently 37 wks pg and struggling to find a boys name I like as much so it would be easier if next one's a girl!

Ned is a brilliant nickname! I'm going in for a second attack shortly :-)

It definitely suits him!

Good luck from the Eddy Eddie Teddy Ned Ted and Ed lovers

Edison sounds like an American trying to sound posh to me. Or a building.

reminds self am not supposed to comment on name threads and backs away

My dad said it sounds like a lighthouse! thatrabbit

It sounds like a Brazilian footballer to me...not that that's a bad thing!
