Addison for a baby girl? Thoughts

No, it’s awful.

Makes me think of the disease as well.

Like the Taxi firm?

Addison means 'son of Adam' so no, definitely not for a girl anyway!

I actually know a little bit called Addison but his dad is called Adam.

I like it as a boys name (sorry not helpful)

Mmmm that'll be a no. For the love of god are there no other names out there you could choose?

Isn't it a brand of plastic-ware for kitchens? Washing up buckets and the like

No don’t like it. Reminds me of Adidas even though I know they are pronounced differently.

Addison's disease

Sounds like a cheap supermarket

No. It’s a disease and means son of.

Just horrible. Surname very obviously mean 'son of'. Diseases, adders etc. Terrible choice. Give the poor kid an actual girls' name please FGS.

How about Alison? Due a comeback.

If you like it go for it , other people's opinions don't matter . Names are a personal thing . Just make sure you always like what a name can be shortened to etc as someone always ends up doing this . I personally like it and never chose my children's names for what they meant just if I liked them or not

Son of. Makes no sense.

Reminds me of Addison Lee the taxi service I learnt about from rap songs

If you like it go for it , other people's opinions don't matter .
But the OP is asking, and this is the baby names section. Other people’s opinions actually do matter - people will make judgements and the child will have to live with it. The OP can choose how much they want to take those opinions into consideration.

Would you really want to name your child a name associated with a disease? Would you call a child Alzheimer or Parkinson or Rubella or Chlamydia?

Maybe people shouldn't be making a judgement on someone's name why would you do that ? It's not like it's a made up way out there name . Personally I judge a person not what they are called. But any name someone won't like

My first thought was Chris Addison, so I'm inclined to say 'no'.

Maybe people shouldn't be making a judgement on someone's name why would you do that ?
Because people do. You can see on this thread. How can you like or not like a name without passing some sort of judgment on it? You said you liked it. You made a judgment on the name.

I wouldn’t judge a person by there name though is what I meant which is how I read the comment . Maybe I misinterpreted what they meant

No and no again!

I like

Addison Lee

No - it's awful. Anything which has "son" on the end isn't suitable for a girl.
