I like it and I think it's definitely usable. It is the name of my grandson who was lost to a forced adoption. Part of the reason his name was chosen was after Thaddeus Stevens. I believe his name will be changed to Nicholas by the adopters, which has caused my to intensely hate that name after previously being mostly indifferent to it. However, we called him Tad, as do his paternal real grandparents, and they are going to continue to have visitation, and continue to call him Tad, so I hope he will retain a bit of his real name that way. I do really like Tad as a nickname.
