I'd ruled it out thinking it would definitely be top ten but just seen it was mid-fifties for boys last year! Do you know many?

I have a one year old and it's the most popular boys name amongst babies I know from groups etc. Nickname Ted/Teddy.

I have one who is 9 and we never meet any others. It isn't common at all in my experience.

I don't know any young Edwards. I like the name, it's classic & traditional and has lots of nickname potential.

I have a 2 year old Edward and have only met a couple of others out of countless small children met at toddler groups, playgrounds etc. Lots of Teddies though, so if you were planning to use that nickname it might be more common.

2 of the 6 baby boys I know still pre school age are Edwards. It's a great name though.

I only know one and he's 12. Plus it's utterly gorgeous and if I had an immaculate conception now and it was a boy he would be an Edward.
