One of the very few good men in King Lear. I love it.

MercyBodle · 22/10/2020 06:56

Love, love it!

jennie0412 · 21/10/2020 23:47

It's an adorable name, but it does make me think of an old teddy Smile

lobsteroll · 21/10/2020 23:44

I really like it!

Enko · 21/10/2020 23:33

Always liked it

CharityPecksniff · 21/10/2020 22:58

Nice

Harmarsuperstar · 21/10/2020 22:57

I know of a one year old Edgar. I think it was a bit of a surprise to his grandparents initially, but they all love it now. It's a good strong name

I know a young Edgar, nice enough little boy but I hate the name and everyone I’ve ever mentioned him in passing to always pulls a face and asks “Edgar?!” (With that Confused expression on their face) His name is usually shortened to Egg.

nancybotwinbloom · 21/10/2020 20:31

It's a strong name I love it

LaTomatina · 21/10/2020 20:28

The dreadful Sticks! Thanks, Lobsterquadrille2 that was who I meant!

bakingdemon · 21/10/2020 20:28

Makes me think of:

  1. The good son in King Lear
  2. The butler in the Aristocats
Cheesypea · 21/10/2020 20:27

Makes me think of eggs too.

Biscuitburglar · 21/10/2020 20:25

I like it, but it does make me immediately think of Edgar the Excitable dragon from last year’s John Lewis Christmas ad. I’d still use it though.

yeOldeTrout · 21/10/2020 20:23

I always liked it & would have had it for DC - but DH not a fan. 15+ yrs ago MNers would have said awful things about it. I don't like Edwin or Edward at all, for no specific reason.

Cotswoldmama · 21/10/2020 20:21

Love it

Lobsterquadrille2 · 21/10/2020 20:12

I love it but it does remind me of the dreadful Sticks and their son Edgar (Five Run Away Together I think) and Edgar Allan Poe. Lovely name, underused, Eddie is nice too.

Kanaloa · 21/10/2020 20:09

Cute. Reminds me of Edgar Frog.

SpeedofaSloth · 21/10/2020 20:08

Lovely name Smile

LaTomatina · 21/10/2020 20:08

I don't like it. Because it makes me think of eggs, and the twatty boy from the Famous Five.

Ellmau · 21/10/2020 20:07

Great name.

areyoubeingserviced · 21/10/2020 20:06

I really like it Op.

PoodleMoth · 21/10/2020 20:04

Love it!

CloudPop · 21/10/2020 20:01

Excellent name.

SleepingStandingUp · 21/10/2020 19:17

Like it. Can be Eddie if Edgar feels too big for him

K00kiEe · 21/10/2020 19:17

It's a brilliant name.
