[Facts] Eadweard...
Is this a horrible kree8tiv spelling of Edward, or an actual name? I ask because I was leafing through an art book and I read about the artist Eadweard Muybridge who was born in 1830. I tend to see kree8tivness as a recent trend, and so if I read about a baby named Eadweard today I would think it was kree8tiv. But since he was born almost 200 years ago I wonder if it actually has some historical/cultural merit.Or maybe Eadweard's parents were some of the pioneers of the kree8tiv kultuur naymeng phad.

Evidently Muybridge was an early pioneer of kree8tive nayming. He was born Edward James Muggeridge, but later opted for the old Saxon spelling.http://www.maritimeheritage.org/vips/muybridge.htm

Old Saxon, eh? Alright. Thanks a lot!

I concur with this theory.
Not made-up, but traditional.

Looks like it might have some merit. Check out this page I found on another Eadweard. Perhaps it's an old spelling?http://lego70.tripod.com/england/edward_confessor.htmArray
