Thoughts on this name?

It's more traditional and popular than I would naturally go for but dh loves it and its growing on me. Not a fan of nn Teddy which sees very popular around here but dont mind Eddie or Ted.

Anyone have one?

Edward's a lovely name. Ted, Teddy, Ed, Eddie.

My 12 week old Edward is currently asleep in my arms. We love it. It's the only boy name we agreed on and it totally suits him!

Zaya71 · 28/01/2018 19:51

I love it. (but Edmund is my all time favourite boys name).

EggsonHeads · 28/01/2018 19:42

Remembered. Robert Patterson was a vampire called Edward and there was lots of red and black and a brunette involved.

EggsonHeads · 28/01/2018 19:42

I like let it but wasn't there that vampire thing. Like Harry Potter but with vampires and slightly older children. I don't remember anymore.

CocoLoco87 · 28/01/2018 19:41

I like Edward. I love Eddie but would probably choose Edwin as the full name.

MikeUniformMike · 28/01/2018 19:39

Yes. Ned is not a good name in Scotland.

NewYearNiki · 28/01/2018 02:20

Love it

Hellywelly10 · 27/01/2018 23:17

I've known as couple of eddies, lovely guys. Ted and Ned are also nice. Edmond is horrendous, did love blackadder though.

LaBelleSauvage123 · 27/01/2018 23:11

Why is Ned ‘just wrong’? Because of the Scottish slang?

Ikeameatballs · 27/01/2018 23:07

It's Ds's middle name and I love it esp nn Ted which was my GFs nn.

I also like Edwin, less keen on Edmund.

CakeRattleandRoll · 27/01/2018 23:04

I have a 5yo Edward. He's been Teddy up till now, just starting to move onto Ted. Although he still gets Bear quite a lot. Love it!

CanIGoToBedNow · 27/01/2018 14:35

Well I’ve got a Edward and he’s called Ned - nothing wrong with that...

FizzyGreenWater · 27/01/2018 14:32

It's ok.

Think if you have one unusual name, they're going to look v different - Ed is absolute plain brown loaf.

Depends really which one will eventually think he got the short straw!!

MikeUniformMike · 27/01/2018 14:17

I don't think you can go wrong with Edward. Not keen on Teddy but Ed, Eddie and Eddy are all fine. Ned is just wrong.

MikeUniformMike · 27/01/2018 14:16

Edgar? Shortened to Egg or Ed.

Emilybrontescorsett · 27/01/2018 11:06

I like it

Thanks guys. It is a really nice name. My hesitation is because my son's name is quite unusual (definitely a real name, just outside top 100) so I don't want them to clash.

I have one. He's either Edward in full or a completely unrelated nickname. The other Edward in his class is Ted. There are a lot of them round here but there's enough variation Ed/Ned/Ted/other that it doesn't feel super popular.

PinkAvocado · 26/01/2018 20:46

Love it. It goes terribly with our surname otherwise it’d be a contender!

RedRosie · 26/01/2018 20:46

Actually, his (very nice) mum uses Ted. Which is nice.

RedRosie · 26/01/2018 20:45

I like it. My adult step-son is an Edward and he's ace. Usually Edward rather than Ed, although we all use both.

MiniMaxi · 26/01/2018 20:41

Lovely!

Annabelle4 · 26/01/2018 20:40

I absolutely love it.

Great name
