For upcoming DS. We will most likely shorten to Ted, Frank and Nick respectively. Middle name will be Peter. Which do people on here prefer? Thanks Smile

Edward is a fabulous name! Works well for a cute baby and for a grown adult.

I have an Edward. He was known as Ted when he was a child. He now has a serious job and uses Edward. I'm so glad we chose it. It's a brilliant name.

Love Nicholas, like Edward a lot but afraid I'm really not keen on Francis.

Like Edward / Ted best.
Nicholas / Nick seems really dated.
Frank reminds me of that drugs advice website, but I do like Francis shortened to Fran.

Prefer Nick

Nicholas, nn Nick. I’d love to be able to use this name but can’t 😭

Nicholas/Nick

All lovely, but I especially like Nicholas because you never meet any under about 45 these days!
