I really like Edward but is it really popular? I like the full name and also nn Ted on a child. Ed is also growing on me thanks to Ed Sheeran but I can't stand Eddie.

Is Eddie inevitable?

Would a Ted get most in a sea of Ted and teddy's from both children called Edward and Theodore, plus full name Teddy I guess.

Lovely name and can be shortened in a variety of ways.

I like Edward. It’s not very common where I live.

Most of the ones I’ve met go by Edward or Ed, I’ve never met any small Teds or Teddy’s. Or any small Theodores.

Having said that, if you really can’t stand Eddie, I’d personally avoid Edward and any other names starting with “Ed” altogether. There’s no way to guarantee that an Edward won’t pick up Eddie as a nickname at school or later.

My DF was Ted (short for Edward) and it's my son's middle name. I love it.

Eddie isn't inevitable if you start out with Ted

I like Edward. I might have considered using it if I had had boys (I had girls).

A lovely, strong boy's name.

Edmund is nice too. Ed and Eddie are good shortenings.

Edward is nice. It was on our list!

Edward is a classic name, I've always liked it.
I know a few Edwards and they all have different nn, Ed, Eddie, Edster, Ted and Ward.

I call them all Edward, except Ted, because he just suits it better than Edward.

Edward is nice but I prefer Edgar or Edmund.

I wouldn't immediately think Ted for Edward tbh I would assume his name was Theodore if his nn was Ted.
If he was Edward then I would assume he would be an Ed or Eddie. X
