Boy
Eddy
As a boy's name, Eddy is understood to mean "wealthy guardian". It settled in after its 1950s peak and has held its ground ever since. Today, it is on the rarer side without being unusual in the registry. It has appeared in U.S. birth records in nearly every decade since 1900, a genuinely long run.
