Help[Opinions] Re: Edgar
in reply to a message by LiaMaria
It has a dual image for me and they are opposite to one another.
I had a great-uncle (by marriage) named Edgar, and he was an outgoing, talkative, fun guy who loved to dance and had led an interesting, full life.
Then there's Edgar Allan Poe. Pretty much the opposite, except for leading an interesting life. I think he gives the name a dark edge.
I can't say I like it. It makes me think of eggs, due to the fact that when my sisters and I were children, we didn't pronounce the D in Edgar, calling our great-uncle "Uncle Egger."
I really can't picture a baby, young child, or teenager with the name---but then I've seen the identical comment made about Abraham, which is my 7-year-old grandson's name, and I naturally don't have a problem at all seeing it on a baby or young child. All it takes is for a name to be used and that thought disappears.
