Help[Opinions] Re: Addison
in reply to a message by Fictionfan8619
It's just another trendy surname name I don't care much for.
I don't like it because I associate it really strongly with the name of an endocrine disease and though I try, I can't disassociate it. I really do think of a disease when I see it. Because the first time I really noticed the name was when I encountered a dog afflicted by Addison's.
And I don't like it because in general, I don't care for surname-names, unless I really happen to like the way they sound.
It sounds more like a guy name to me than a girl name, but it also sounds like Alison. The only reason I'd have a preference, is because I feel like surname-names are better suited for boys generally. But the Alison-sound kind of makes up for that (and sounding like Madison helps too. I think of Madison as better for a girl). I'd rather see Edison on a boy, Alison or Madison on a girl, than Addison on either.
