[Opinions] Re: Edison
in reply to a message by Mareasi
Wow, I'm way in the minority here. Oh well.
I don't mind it at all. It sounds nice and I have no use for Edward or Edmund, but this is a much better "Ed" in my opinion. That said, I should state that I have no problem whatsoever with last names as first names. I don't get why that's so terrible.
Thomas Edison association - yes, but I can see Edison climbing the ranks and the more it's used, the less strong the association becomes.
As for Thomas Edison being a less than admirable fellow, well that is pretty much irrelevant as very few people would actually know that.
Anyhow, I'd say it's fair game. But apparently I'm the only one. :o)

I don't think there is anything wrong with using surnames as first names, either. I used to think it was stupid unless the name was already in your family, but now I really don't mind it. A lot of them sound nice.
