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.

Narnia

Noels house party
Old man with grey skin

Blackadder, then the episode of Miranda where she she says that someone's name is EdMUND not EdWARD to emphasise his weirdness.

Sorry (I actually quite like the name!)

Voteforpedr0 · 14/04/2016 18:30

Also the munsters

CaptainAnkles · 14/04/2016 18:44

My immediate thought was Narnia, even though I love Blackadder.

Snoopydo · 14/04/2016 18:47

Little old man, old-fashioned, staid

Edmund from the lion, the witch and the wardrobe

Niles from Frasier.
I know he's not called Edmund but this is who I thought of!

LizzieVereker · 14/04/2016 18:52

It makes me think of the Edmund in King Lear. But I am quite dull.

Claraoswald36 · 14/04/2016 18:52

King Lear

ApocalypseNowt · 14/04/2016 18:54

A good friend of mine. Really like the name.

DurhamDurham · 14/04/2016 18:55

Blackadder

Sorry

WLmum · 14/04/2016 18:58

I love it! It was on our list if dd had been ds. Shortened to Eddie but much more interesting than Edward. Although I also like Edward to be fair.

StuckMelia · 14/04/2016 19:03

My uncle. That's his name. Grin

TheOldestCat · 14/04/2016 19:04

Used to be King Lear and Blackadder but a friend has an Edmund and now I think of him. Great name.

doceodocere · 14/04/2016 19:28

The baby in the bed next to us on the postnatal ward was named this! Parents were academic types, it suited the family.

LadyMonicaBaddingham · 14/04/2016 19:30

A lovely little boy at school...

iklboo · 14/04/2016 19:42

LA Confidential. But I have just finished reading it. Otherwise, Blackadder.

228agreenend · 14/04/2016 19:48

Someone I knew at university (in a positive way).

Don't worry about the Blackadder link. A lot of names have unfavourable links if you try hard enough, and the Blackadder link will fade.

If you love it, use it!

ScarletForYa · 14/04/2016 19:51

Blackadder.

Narnia

Vedamakesthebesttoast · 14/04/2016 19:52

The young ones, Eddie

SueTrinder · 14/04/2016 19:53

I thought Narnia first despite having been an enormous Blackadder fan at the time. Great strong name, more interesting than Edward but not as out there as some of the other Kingly Es! I love it.
