Meaning Comments
- Rangekid868: I think this is a nice name! Pretty and strong :) I personally *would* prefer it with a nickname, though—I especially like it with Dado :D.
- Icemandude11: Eduardo is a lovely name, and I will fight whoever disagrees. I'm going to name my child Edaurdo Eduardoe, so he will also appreciate the name that has lit up my life the past few years. It is definitely a unisex name. My daughter will be called Eduaerdo Edeighdo Joseph. Joseph is because he reminds me of the bible, and the name Eduardo reminds me of Jesus, my friend Eduardo is probably more Christlike than Jesus anyway, because he's got a cool name. I had a fish named Eduardo once. It tragically passed away by drowning. We have set up a go fund me for anyone who would like to send their condolences.
- Ruincows2663: I am not the greatest fan of this name, but I do not find it “gross” as someone else said a while back. While not my cup of tea, I can at least appreciate that there will always be somebody who likes this name as their own and that is just fine.
