Our last name starts with T and ends in “er.”. We also like [name]Grant[/name] but I am concerned about the t eding with our last name. Another name we love is [name]Hudson[/name] but we already used it for a pet. We like strong names that are somewhat unique but not too out there. Please help!!!

I was racking my brain trying to figure out the connection between edison and sawyer. I didn’t get it until I read the pp. I don’t think you have anything to worry about. [name]Edison[/name] is pretty tied to [name]Thomas[/name], but [name]Sawyer[/name] is common enough now that you don’t immediately think of [name]Tom[/name]. Also, although [name]Tom[/name] is short for [name]Thomas[/name], [name]Tom[/name] [name]Sawyer[/name] is never [name]Thomas[/name].
If you love [name]Edison[/name], you should use it.
I honestly don’t think that many people are going to make the connection. I would just use [name]Edison[/name].
[name]Hi[/name] there, I absolutely loved [name]Edison[/name] & [name]Sawyer[/name] as siblings. I would reconsider that choose to throw [name]Edison[/name] out. It’s just so lovely. I commend you on naming your daughter [name]Sawyer[/name]. That is a guilty pleasure name for me

Thanks all for the comments!! I really like some of the suggestions and now am reconsidering whether I am over thinking [name]Edison[/name].
Yeah, I am a great over thinker and [name]Edison[/name] and [name]Sawyer[/name] doesn’t bother me. [name]Just[/name] don’t name a next son [name]Thomas[/name] ; ). Seriously, they sound good together, they just sound surnamey. I don’t think you’re locking yourself in - if you have a third child with a surnamey name and there was no [name]Thomas[/name] by that name, you are still fine!
I also really liked the suggestions of [name]Vaughn[/name], [name]Preston[/name] and [name]Bennett[/name] (ends in t though so might be same issue as grant)
Haha Jesba! We definitely won’t do [name]Thomas[/name] for a third if we have one
