It looks like someone tried to make the ln Edgeworth into a girls' name. I don't think it would work in real life.

And her sister Forsythia? Cousins to Mahonia? :-)

It's a GP, at best. As such I could only see it as a mn. But what a FUN mn it would be. :-D Just make sure the fn is something conventional like Jane and you're covered. And if you've got an Edward / Edwin in the family you could fib and say it's to honor them. :-P

I think it sounds like a Hogwarts teacher, or a ghost in one of Eva Ibbotson's books...
I could think of a Mrs Edgeworthia Toodlepip or something like that...

I couldn't find the Swedish name of Edgeworthia, precisely, but it belongs to a family which in Swedish is called Tibast (TEE-bust, I think it's pronounced). Edgeworthia Tibast sounds kinda cool, too. ;)

NN Edgy? Nah, I don't think it would work IRL, but it would be fun for an eccentric character in a story.

It sounds wart-y: edgeWORTHia. I don't care for it.

Don't be coy, Brandon, we all know if you met an Edgeworthia you'd faint from delight. lol

Nope, it sounds really silly.

Yup, it's outrageous, but so are a lot of other names. I could see Edgeworthia as a MN.

is pretty cool ^^ but i don't think that it's a good name for a real person.. it sounds too strange and it's too complex for that imo.
