Ted but I'm bias as my Edward goes by ted or Teddy.

Wishiwasmoiradingle2017 · 13/03/2017 20:09

Ted.

NuffSaidSam · 13/03/2017 20:11

Edward and then you can chop and change/see what suits him/see what he prefers.

CanIGoToBedNow · 13/03/2017 20:13

My Edward is a Ned

Falafelings · 13/03/2017 20:15

Ted or ned

ThroughThickAndThin01 · 13/03/2017 20:15

I like Teddy or Ed!

Spudlet · 13/03/2017 20:16

My Edward is a Teddy . But I like that his name gives him options for his preferred nickname when he gets older.

Sophronia · 13/03/2017 22:00

Edward nn Eddie

Avioleta · 13/03/2017 22:02

I prefer Teddy.

NapQueen · 13/03/2017 22:03

Ted

Jojay · 13/03/2017 22:08

Edward, nn Ed.

Gummibears · 13/03/2017 22:36

Edward

Eddie and Teddie are very cutesy

BasicBetty · 14/03/2017 13:21

Both are lovely, but Ted has a slight edge for me.

DramaAlpaca · 14/03/2017 13:28

Eddy

grufallosfriend · 14/03/2017 14:38

Would a grown man really like to be called Eddy? It sounds so cutesy to my ears.

Ted is a little stronger sounding but personally I prefer Theodore.

Pencilvester · 14/03/2017 15:41

I'd say Eddy, just because there are so many baby Teds around right now.

sonlypuppyfat · 14/03/2017 15:45

Eddie and Teddie yes I can imagine a big hairy arsed bloke loving one of those names

KoalaDownUnder · 14/03/2017 15:46

Ted or Ned.

Eddy is awful.

sanitygirl · 14/03/2017 15:48

Curious as to why you think Eddy is awful?

sonlypuppyfat · 14/03/2017 18:12

Eddy is a toddlers nickname, it's not for a grown up

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 14/03/2017 18:54

Ted, don't like Eddy.

temporarilyjerry · 14/03/2017 19:11

Ted or preferably, Ed.
Teddy is a bear and Eddy is my dad's mate.

My Edward is Ed, but Edward when he is in trouble :)

SuperBeagle · 14/03/2017 21:28

Eddy (prefer the spelling Eddie).

I know several adult Eddys/Eddies/Eds.

My recently passed DGF was an Eddy. Never seemed too "toddlerish" for him.

It also hasn't done any harm to Eddie Vedder.

Lilly16 · 14/03/2017 22:19

Ted
