I Just heard this boys name and I think it's lovely... but what do YOU think?

Eddison... (Eddie)

I think it's really cool.... I've never heard of it before but my friend (baby's mum) told me it's an old english name and she got it from a website and (sure enough) it's on the website...

I think it's lovely... but my other friend (who was also there when she told us the name) thinks it's awful..

So, votes please!

Love it

Tillyscoutsmum · 26/02/2009 21:24

I like it

My friend has an Emerson, which I quite like as well

WinkyWinkola · 26/02/2009 21:24

Edison or Eddison? I like it both ways. Great name.

yama · 26/02/2009 21:25

Not for me. More of a surname. Don't hate it though.

PestoMonster · 26/02/2009 21:26

Lighthouse

CharleeInChains · 26/02/2009 21:26

I like it, i have a friend called Addison which i also like and is similar.

MrsMattie · 26/02/2009 21:26

Not my cup of tea. I know a little girl called Addison, actually.

nickytwotimes · 26/02/2009 21:27

No. Sorry, don't like it.

janeite · 26/02/2009 21:27

Don't like it; sorry.

ellingwoman · 26/02/2009 21:29

Reminds me of Maddison - another name I don't like

dizzydixies · 26/02/2009 21:30

not my cup of tea either but probably because our surname if SUCH a first name we discounted all surnamey names - iyswim?

diedandgonetodevon · 26/02/2009 21:33

Sorry, I don't like it

ninedragons · 26/02/2009 21:39

The surname-as-given name trend is very American (Madison, Addison, McKenzie, Cooper) and not being American, I am not a fan.

Sorry.

I love Edward, though.

ContainsMildPeril · 26/02/2009 21:40

Dizzy - i get you. you didn't want your DCs to have their name on backwards.

screamingabdab · 26/02/2009 21:41

Like Eddie (or Ted), but I'm not a big fan of those Surname-type first names. I'd call him Edward

dizzydixies · 26/02/2009 21:45

exactly Contains

noonki · 26/02/2009 22:01

I surprise myself by liking it!

ABetaDad · 26/02/2009 22:12

I would choose Edison as the spelling to make it easier for the child and everyone else.

Nice name though.

Also there is Edson which is a variant.

hobbgoblin · 26/02/2009 22:15

I just think lightbulbs

Disenchanted3 · 26/02/2009 22:16

Maxwell Eddison, majoring in medicine...

I really like it, my son has a similar name, mentioned a few time on this thread!

xfabba · 26/02/2009 22:17

i like surnamey names (have 2) so I quite like it.

girlandboy · 26/02/2009 22:18

I actually really like it!

Disenchanted3 · 26/02/2009 22:18

And its a BOYS name not a girls!

Always have to point that out

I really like it too, I have heard it before but an adult - it is a lovely and slightly unusual name for a baby
