I forget where I saw this a few weeks ago but I really liked the look of it. I think it might be good as a surname or a middle name. As a first name I am still on the fence a bit. I think the meanings are good.

EDIT July 19, 2016:

So I had forgotten I had already added this name until I looked it up again, lol! So here are my thoughts on the name now and I added above a few more meanings I found. I came to like this as Odair when I saw Finnick *see on list of posts* Odair in the Hunger Games movie but when Googling Odair I was shown Adair so I stuck with that as I could find nothing for the spelling Odair. The meanings are all very interesting and strong and brave sounding as the whole name seems strong and brave to me. I was interested to see that this was from the first name Edgar as it doesn’t really look alike but if you say them together you can get a sense of how they come from each other and of course I hadn’t remembered I had already had this name listed so I had forgotten the association. I think I really still prefer this more as a surname but it would be nice to see it used as a first name of a character though.
