Who do you think of when you hear this name?

Edmund.

I really like it as it reminds me of one of my favourite characters but dp and his family immediately think of someone else, who I can't stand. I'm hoping it's just them who will associate it in that way though.

Old headmaster Mr Edmunds, he totally suited his fuddy duddy name!

Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe.

Narnia. Not blackadder unless prompted. But it's a strong enough name to not be associated with a character at all, I wouldn't worry.

HeadTilt · 14/04/2016 12:36

Blackadder, then Narnia.

I'm not a fan, it is the Egbert and Ethelred group for me.

Another vote for Hilary.

alliemay · 14/04/2016 12:16

Blackadder here as well I'm afraid!

HolaWeenie · 14/04/2016 12:15

Elephant! I'm suffering through a peppa pig stage

SqueegyBeckinheim · 14/04/2016 12:14

Blackadder, then Hillary.

parissont · 14/04/2016 12:12

Queenie in blackadder 'Edddmund !'

Sir Edmund Hilary. I am very very old.

NameChange30 · 14/04/2016 12:08

I didn't think of Blackadder btw. I've watched bits of it but I didn't know that was his first name.

KanyeWesticle · 14/04/2016 12:00

Narnia. Lovely.

ILikeUranus · 14/04/2016 12:00

My first boyfriend.

AStreetcarNamedBob · 14/04/2016 11:49

Blackadder. But it's getting older so this generation won't really be as aware of it

StDogolphin · 14/04/2016 11:42

Also, Blackadder is losing relevance as it ages. As your son gets older he would become 'the' Edmund.

SecretlyChartreuse · 14/04/2016 11:42

Generic Tudor younger brothers who never made history then Narnia.

GerundTheBehemoth · 14/04/2016 11:40

My friend's 20-something son. He is a good sort.

StDogolphin · 14/04/2016 11:40

Narnia (only realised it was Blackadder when I read the other replies) but it doesnt matter because in a few short weeks the first person anyone in your family thinks of will be your DS.

NameChange30 · 14/04/2016 11:38

Edmund Bertram from Mansfield Park by Jane Austen

peasweet05 · 14/04/2016 11:36

Narnia

MackerelOfFact · 14/04/2016 11:35

It is a lovely name but it makes me think of, erm, Noel Edmonds.

LauraChant · 14/04/2016 11:30

Narnia. And then King Lear.

I wouldn't think Blackadder, although I love the programme. I'm not on first name terms with that character.
