Isn't Ned anotehr word for chav?

it is in yorkshire anyway.

Don't like the spelling Eduard - looks like someone forgot the 'o' on the end.

We have a friend who just had an Edward and are calling him Bear. That trend seems to have kicked off probably courtesy of Bear Grylls.

It's top of our list if we have another boy. We would use Ed or Ned for a nn rather than Teddy/Eddie as I dislike -ie ending names on boys.

FrankMustard · 22/04/2009 22:30

Ted's a great name!

pointydog · 22/04/2009 22:28

I don;t like the spelling eduard at all

cece · 22/04/2009 22:19

Although what does everyone think of the spelling Eduard? Would it get annoying correcting it?

Leannabanana · 22/04/2009 22:15

i would love an Edward - i would call him Bear....

cece · 22/04/2009 22:13

Oh yes! We have decided on Edward for a boy shortened to Eddie or Ed. The only boy's name we agree on..

insywinsyspider · 22/04/2009 22:06

dc3 will be Edward if a ds, love name and all the associated nn - thinks it could be getting popular tho if these name threads are anything to go by it comes up a lot!

pointydog · 22/04/2009 21:54

I'd go with Ed/Eddie from the start. They are great names.

pranma · 22/04/2009 21:45

You can have Woody as nn!

cory · 15/04/2009 17:01

Dd would have been an Edward.

Marne · 15/04/2009 15:26

I like Ned and Ted.

dizzydixies · 15/04/2009 15:25

lovely with Teddy as a nn for baby

a Ned in scotland is a wee gadgie btw

nappyaddict · 15/04/2009 15:23

Prefer Teddy to Ted.

fattiemumma · 07/04/2009 13:38

another Mner has an Edward. they call him ned and i love it.

annabella73 · 07/04/2009 13:35

My son is Edward, and has always been known as Teddy/Ted. He's almost one. I always said I hated Eddie...HOWEVER, my other children, including Teddy's twin sister have taken to calling him Eddie sometimes, and I turn a blind eye. He's Teddy most of the time - it's a great name IMO.

MarthaFarquhar · 06/04/2009 13:10

hatwoman - I have just googled "Ed and Oucho".

Many thanks indeed .

ohdearwhatamess · 06/04/2009 12:30

Love it as Edward (have as a middle name for one of mine). Don't particularly like the variations and shortened versions myself.

MarthaFarquhar · 06/04/2009 12:20

Love Edward and all of its variation. If I ever have a boy, Edward it shall be.

Bunch · 06/04/2009 12:17

I LOVE the name Edward. Really wanted it for DS but couldn't use it as it really doesn't go with our surname (along the same lines as Edward Woodward)!!

cheesesarnie · 06/04/2009 12:07

i love edward.dont like eddie but do like ted/ed

IheartEASTEREGGS · 06/04/2009 12:06

My 'Ted' is a year old now and I cant imagine being able to just suddenly switch and call him Eddie!
I dont like Ed or Eddie anyway, only Ted, Ned and Teddy so I hope he stays as a Ted when he's older!!!

Good point crumpet and hatwoman

I think I should look short term for nn and just say we will call him ted or ned
