Hector or Edgar?

My partner favours Edgar and I favour Hector. We both would tolerate each others' choice.

I can't decide which to go for; really worried about getting it wrong and having regrets.

Not crazy about either but at a push I'd pick Edgar.

Hector is beyond awful.

Hector that's what I think of when I hear Hector! I know that's because I'm 40 but still.

Hector is awesome! It is my hypothetical 3rd boy's name! Not so keen on Edgar. Hero if Troy vs slightly boring bloke in King Lear - no contest!

Neither.

Edgar definitely for me. It's an elegant name whilst still being non fussy. Hector sounds a bit dorky to me.
