Does it matter?

I am pretty close to having DS2 and the name situation is driving me batty.
I decided some time ago that I liked the name Edward Heath. Edward is my dad's middle name and was my great grandfather's name, Heath is the masculine version of my mother's name. DS1 is Byron David (David is FIL's name).
Anyway...DH who seems to be an endless source of somewhat useless information pointed out that Edward Heath was a British Prime Minister in the 70's. Besides that he likes the name. I don't think that it matters as his name won't actually be Edward Heath, it will be Edward Berry. I am also doubtful that anyone else is going to know of this Prime Minister, especially Australians in my/ my children's age groups.

So does anyone on here think that it matters?

Nope! If it bothers you though you could always switch it and have Heath Edward?

[feeb]

Nah not a problem, if you like it go with it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Good luck.

Pretty much every name combination will have been used by someone at some stage!!

I wouldnt think it would matter? Like you say few people, esp your childs peers, would have any idea.

No, I dont think it maters at all!!!! if you like it... go for it! I think its a great name...

[~Trish~]

It definitely doesn't matter! I know I haven't heard of him LOL!

My DS2's middle name is Heath (it's a family name) and I love it. Edward Heath sounds lovely

I don't think it matters at all either as long as you and your hubby both love the name you've chosen. I wouldn't have known it was an ex british prime minsters name, so I don't think many other people unless they are from the UK would make the connection either
