Can I have an Edison Stevenson?

[Creammmie]

Not looking for opinions on the name.

Just wondering if I can?

why not?

It's quite a mouthful. Doesn't flow very well.

I think the double 'son' is a bit much but if you like it then why not?

Eddie Stevenson sounds way better.

I was just thinking kids aren't very often referred to by their full name anyway so why worry

We have a 'son' name as well and have ruled all those names out, so no.

Edward way nicer too 👍

A bit clunky and clumsy.

Ed Stevenson, Eddie Stevenson, Edward Stevenson all sound great.

it doesn't flow very well IMHO, a bit clumsy

It sounds like a character from a steampunk story to me, and I'd assume you were really hoping he'd grow up to be an inventor or engineer.

I personally wouldn't.

If I really wanted an Ed name, I'd probably go with Edwin.

There's Edmund too. I don't like it myself, but just putting ideas out there.

It is clunky, sorry!

Hate all other Ed names.

I thought you were talking about a brand of vacuum cleaner or something for a second. Sorry OP!

Hate all other Ed names.

Back to the drawing board then?

That's a shame. What would you have thought if everyone started calling him Ed?

I obviously like Ed! Just not Edward, Edwin, Edmund, etc.

Well if you ask people if you can have the name, of course you're asking opinions on the name? Because obviously you're "allowed".

But anyway, I actually really like it. It's quite cool and quirky

Sorry @ThanksMsMay I meant I didn't want people to make comments that they don't like Edison.

It's very clunky. And I know you didn't ask, but I hate Edison

People are very rarely actually called by their full name though anyway.

It never even popped in to my head when naming my boys but I'd have definitely considered it if I had.

Sounds a bit like a tribute to a lighthouse?

No you can't, they don't work together. If you're anything like me you probably know that deep down and that's why you're asking! Good luck in your name quest!

Just call him Ed.
