Edward - safe, solid, 'respectable', my old teddy,

Max - why did this poor person not get a proper name? Trying too hard to appear laid back or something. Sorry.

Edward- traditional, royal, good nicknames, bit dull

Max- boysy, bit pet like, short, snappy

Decided instinct was better than sticking precisely to 5!
