The Top 10 Most Famous Men with the First Name of Ed or Eddie or Edward
For the past year I've been compiling famous names to list on my name numerology website. These are all noted individuals, but who are the most famous? Today let's count down the most famous men named Ed, Eddie, or Edward.
The most famous people (based on online chatter) with the first name Ed, Eddie, or Edward are:
10. Ed McBain - Author (87th Precinct mystery series, Matthew Hope mystery series)
9. Ed Harris - Actor (Apollo 13, Pollock, The Hours)
8. Ed Wood - Director and Screenwriter (Glen or Glenda, Plan 9 from Outer Space, Bride of the Monster)
7. Edward Scissorhands - Title character from the movie Edward Scissorhands
6. Ed Westwick - Actor (Gossip Girl)
5. Eddie Izzard - Actor and Comedian (The Riches, Valkyrie, Live at the Ambassadors)
4. Edward Norton - Actor (Fight Club, American History X, The Incredible Hulk)
3. Ed Sullivan - Talk Show Host (The Ed Sullivan Show)
2. Eddie Murphy - Actor and Comedian (Beverly Hills Cop, Shrek, Dreamgirls)
...and the most famous man named Ed, Eddie, or Edward is...
1. Edward Cullen - Character in the Twilight Saga series of books and movies
Not making the top 10 were Ed Anger - Weekly World News columnist, Ed Bradley - Television Journalist (60 Minutes, CBS Sunday Night with Ed Bradley), Ed McMahon - Television Announcer and Personality (The Tonight Show), Ed Norton - Character on the TV series The Honeymooners, Ed O'Neill - Actor (Married... with Children, Modern Family, John from Cincinnati), Eddie Munster - Character on the TV series the Munsters, Eddie Van Halen - Musician most natably in the band Van Halen (Jump, Panama, Dance the Night Away), Edward Albee - Playwright (Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?, Seascape, The Zoo Story), Edward Asner - Actor (The Mary Tyler Moore Show, Lou Grant, Roots), Edward Ferrars - character in Jane Austen's novel Sense and Sensibility, Edward Furlong - Actor (American History X, Terminator 2: Judgment Day, Before and After), Edward Hopper - American Painter (Nighthawks, Automat, Chop Suey), Edward Hyde - Character in the novel Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde, Edward Murdstone - Character in Charles Dickens' novel David Copperfield, Edward Rochester - Character in Charlotte Brontë's novel Jane Eyre, and Edward Teach - Pirate in the early 1700s better known as Blackbeard.
A pretty good mix of occupations for the top ten Ed, Eddies, and Edwards with one talk show host (Ed Sullivan), one director (Ed Wood), one author (Ed McBain), two fictional characters (Edward Cullen and Edward Scissorhands), and five actors (Eddie Murphy, Edward Norton, Eddie Izzard, Ed Westwick, and Ed Harris).
This was an unusual top ten list in that there were no musicians in the top 10, with Eddie Van Halen just barely missing out. No surprise that Twilight fan favorite Edward Cullen topped the list. It's nearly impossible to beat the online popularity of Twilight these days.
I compiled this list by searching for each of the Ed, Eddie, and Edwards on a number of search engines and ranking them by the number of web pages, discussion forums, photos, videos, etc that are available online.

What was Eddie Van Halen's guitar practice regiment before he became a rockstar?
What scales did he play? How often did he play? How long were his practice regiments? etc
I can't find anything out about what scales he did, but here's some info on his practicing regimen. He and his brother Alex were both taking piano lessons and got bored. He started playing guitar and Alex started drumming.
After Eddie heard Alex's performance of the The Surfaris' drum solo in the song "Wipe Out", he grew annoyed that his brother had overtaken his ability and decided to switch and begin learning how to play the electric guitar.
He has stated that he would often walk around at home with his guitar strapped on and unplugged, practicing. It's said that he would sit in his room for hours with the door locked as a teen, practicing the guitar. He once claimed that he had learned almost all of Eric Clapton's solos in the band Cream "note for note" by age 14; in later interviews he stated he could never play the solos precisely, instead he would modify them slightly to suit his style.
In April 1996, in an interview with Guitar World, when asked about how he went from playing his first open A chord to playing "Eruption", Eddie replied:
“ Practice. I used to sit on the edge of my bed with a six-pack of Schlitz Malt talls. My brother would go out at 7 p.m. to party and get laid, and when he'd come back at 3 a.m., I would still be sitting in the same place, playing guitar. I did that for years — I still do that."
This is what he says about his tapping technique:
"I think I got the idea of tapping watching Jimmy Page do his "Heartbreaker" solo back in 1971. He was doing a pull-off to an open string, and I thought wait a minute, open string ... pull off. I can do that, but what if I use my finger as the nut and move it around?" ... I just kind of took it and ran with it."
