That's because we didn't know any better. I have a strange name that I get tired of spelling constantly, so we opted to give the kids normal names. My daughter has run across a few named "Theresa", all hispanic. But there has not been ANY other Eddie in the schools my son has been in and he's a sophomore. How does a name like Eddie become unusual? There was an Eddie in just about every class when I was in school.
