Ted is cute

Edward, with nn Eddy

Edward.

Then he has options: Edward, Ed, Eddie, Eddy, Ted, Teddie, Teddy, Ned, Neddie, Neddy.

You can still choose his initial nickname, but if he wants to use a more formal name later he has the choice.

Definitely Eddie. Love this name but I would as it's the name of my father in law and my son

Lilly16 · 14/03/2017 22:19

Ted

Eddy (prefer the spelling Eddie).

I know several adult Eddys/Eddies/Eds.

My recently passed DGF was an Eddy. Never seemed too "toddlerish" for him.

It also hasn't done any harm to Eddie Vedder. Wink

My Edward is Ed, but Edward when he is in trouble :)

temporarilyjerry · 14/03/2017 19:11

Ted or preferably, Ed.
Teddy is a bear and Eddy is my dad's mate.

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 14/03/2017 18:54

Ted, don't like Eddy.

sonlypuppyfat · 14/03/2017 18:12

Eddy is a toddlers nickname, it's not for a grown up

sanitygirl · 14/03/2017 15:48

Curious as to why you think Eddy is awful?

KoalaDownUnder · 14/03/2017 15:46

Ted or Ned.

Eddy is awful.

sonlypuppyfat · 14/03/2017 15:45

Eddie and Teddie yes I can imagine a big hairy arsed bloke loving one of those names

Pencilvester · 14/03/2017 15:41

I'd say Eddy, just because there are so many baby Teds around right now.

grufallosfriend · 14/03/2017 14:38

Would a grown man really like to be called Eddy? It sounds so cutesy to my ears.

Ted is a little stronger sounding but personally I prefer Theodore.

DramaAlpaca · 14/03/2017 13:28

Eddy

BasicBetty · 14/03/2017 13:21

Both are lovely, but Ted has a slight edge for me.

Gummibears · 13/03/2017 22:36

Edward

Eddie and Teddie are very cutesy

Jojay · 13/03/2017 22:08

Edward, nn Ed.

NapQueen · 13/03/2017 22:03

Ted

Avioleta · 13/03/2017 22:02

I prefer Teddy.

Sophronia · 13/03/2017 22:00

Edward nn Eddie

Spudlet · 13/03/2017 20:16

My Edward is a Teddy Smile. But I like that his name gives him options for his preferred nickname when he gets older.

ThroughThickAndThin01 · 13/03/2017 20:15

I like Teddy or Ed!

Falafelings · 13/03/2017 20:15

Ted or ned
