Ok...another thread from me. We're currently down to 3 names now...

Edward (but calling him Teddy)
Llewellyn (Llewi)
Cary .......too feminine do you think?

I like it and you don't hear it very much which is always good.

Cary - isn't that a medical term for a whole in the tooth?

How would you pronounce it? -
I've heard 'Care-ee', 'Carry' and in America (where I know a couple of girls called Carey) it has been pronounced Kerry..?

I think it's ok, but prefer both Edward (Teddy) and Llewellyn (Lewi) by a long way tbh!

It sounds too much like Gary, the name that the 70s tried to forget...

Much as I love Cary Grant, it's not a name I'd go for - sorry.
