This is a welcome alternate from
Edward - yet still offers the nickname "
Ed" or
Eddie" (beginning with the short "e" vowel sound) if he prefers; however the traditional "
Edie" from
Eden with the long "e" vowel on the first & second syllables is immediately available as well.
Also -- as Book'em Danno suggests - it rolls perfectly into a middle name.
