I’ve really come to love the name [name_m]Edgar[/name_m]: to me it’s regal, old-fashioned but not too much, and the nickname Eddy/Eddie is great.
What are your thoughts/associations? What kind of person would you imagine an [name_m]Edgar[/name_m] nn: [name_m]Eddy[/name_m] to be?

I automatically think of the butler in Aristocats lol
[name_m]Edgar[/name_m] is sort of clunky cool, a little gothic, a little posh but with a rugged edge.
[name_f]My[/name_f] main associations are [name_m]Edgar[/name_m] [name_m]Linton[/name_m] from Wuthering Heights and [name_m]Edgar[/name_m] [name_m]Allan[/name_m] [name_u]Poe[/name_u]. [name_m]Edgar[/name_m] ‘Eddy’ is giving me smart and serious vibes, but lively and fun too
It’s probably my favorite [name_m]Ed[/name_m]- name. Most/all of these names have an older, grandpa kind of vibe to me (not so much in a vintage revival kind of way, but more like… [name_u]Gary[/name_u] or Ronald). I understand that they’re classics, but to me they still sound a little stuffy. Anyway, I think [name_m]Edgar[/name_m] actually edges more towards fitting that vintage revival aesthetic. It feels literary, smart, and international, and has potential for coming back. I think it would be an unexpected choice but a potentially trendsetting one. [name_f]My[/name_f] immediate association is [name_m]Edgar[/name_m] [name_m]Allan[/name_m] [name_u]Poe[/name_u], which is kinda cool actually.
I think of [name_m]Edgar[/name_m] [name_m]Allen[/name_m] [name_u]Poe[/name_u] but I do like the regal, old fashioned feel it has
[name_f]My[/name_f] best friend has a little [name_u]Eddie[/name_u], and quite frankly I’ve never met a bad one. [name_m]Edgar[/name_m] ofcourse reminds me more of Wuthering Heights and [name_m]Edgar[/name_m] [name_m]Allen[/name_m] [name_u]Poe[/name_u], so it make me imagine a studious, thoughtful child who will grow into a gentleman. I would imagine an [name_m]Edgar[/name_m] would have good manners and would never be scruffy. It was in my names list but I have a couple of Eddies in my immediate friendship circle and my bestfriends child too, but whenever I here the nn [name_u]Eddie[/name_u] I smile, and [name_m]Edgar[/name_m] is just that little bit more special.
