Would using the name Edward Theodore be unacceptable?

Theodore is a family name and it's really important.

Edward is the only name we both agree on.

I didn’t even get why you were asking until I read the replies so I would go for it
Not many Edwards go by Ted or Teddy do they, it’d more likely be Eddie which I love
Also while he’s little you could call him Eddie Teddie

I wouldn't but can't explain why, but I think both could be abbreviated to Ted or Teddy which I don't like.

They’re totally different names, different origins and meanings. It’s just chance that they can both be shortened to Ted/Teddy so as long as you don’t do that you’ll be fine!

I don't see the issue - they are two completely separate names.

I like it. Sounds lovely, not odd at all

Think it’s a bit odd.

Lovely names together.

Hideandgo · 01/05/2018 20:24

Go for it! The 2 names will rarely appear together. I know a few Brian O’Briens etc which is even stranger. But if you’re worried make it ‘Edward James Theodore’ or something
