Brother for Edward

If you could choose just one boys name as a sibling for Edward, what would it be? Last ditch attempt to get some ideas!

Please could I request just one name per post, my eyes glaze over when I see lists and Lord knows I've scoured many lists over the last few months Grin

Edward and Dominic

Charles/Charlie

Wouldn't James and Edward be shortened to Jedward?!

Peter would be a great choice!

Laurence (Laurie)?

Alex Grin - it's okay, I'm not a big fan of the name Andrew.

I love Douglas. Rupert, Joseph and Samuel are nice too. Peter still very much 'up there' though

sorry but I would avoid Andrew, esp with a brother called Edward...

Richard maybe a bit like Peter and ahead of the naming curve, but a lot of Arthurs now ...although a good'un - love Edward..

Definitely Peter. Also a royal name, but underused currently. Lovely classic name. Arthur and Louis are much more "on trend" currently. However, Peter will probably be really popular again in about 10 years.

Peter is lovely, classic but underused.

Some great ideas so far, thank you. I really love James but it's BIL's name. I really like Arthur, Peter and Louis too.

It’s not about what I’d choose. It’s what fits best. For example I despise the name ‘Arthur’ but I think it’s great with Edward
