It's Old English - goes way back to early England - it means Son of Adam or Adam's Son
depending on translation. Often the nickname is Adam. I've even heard Addy.
My Grandfathers name was Addison Clarence Stage. A great boys name.
I thought maybe your name was Morton. I have heard it many times shortened to Mory.
Why is it, we name out children one thing and call them something else?
What has Bob got to do with Robert or Bill got to do with William?

Or Dick with Richard?
Can't quite see anyone calling Richard Wagner "Dickie", can you? Not with that face!

Even stranger - why is John called 'Jack', Elizabeth 'Betty', Margaret 'Peg' and Henry 'Hal'?
The reasons probably originated centuries ago!
Most names ending in 'son' mean 'son of' as does 'Mac' (Scots), O' (Irish) and Welsh names beginning with 'P' like Price (Ap Rice); Pritchard (Ap Richard).
Humans are strange people!
People DO go by the strangest names.
Maybe they'll just call him Addison and not use a nickname. They could come up with their own nickname for him, too.
I go by Christine because I don't like Chris. It's more of a guy's name.
Lexie, if you get the chance and aren't too tired, how about another picture of Addison?

Lol, well, possible, Falcon. I think we were a little off track as usual and just talking in general!
I sure hope the inventor of the Weed-Wacker reads this before having a son.quote:Originally posted by Gardengnome:

Of course, there’s Mike and Hank.
Then Addison would mean Son of Sum.quote:Originally posted by MORY:

Addison has several nick names.
I call him Addison mainly, but have been known to call him other things in the middle of the nite.
Tyler and Hubbie call him Bubbie or AJ.
My Mum and Sister call him Addy!
Mory - I am glad there is another Addison out there, I havent seen any before.
I knew the meaning was "Adam's Son", which doesnt have any relevance to us, but Tyler isnt a Tiler either...so go figure.
