DD was going to be Edward, Ned for short. But she was a DD and it seemed cruel to continue with it... Now I think we've moved past it so I mourn the loss of the Ned I never had...

You know how people already bearing the name influence whether we like it or not? Can I invite anyone who says they don't like Ed to take a good look at Ed out of Ed and Oucho...

I like it, and all the abbreviations - but I'm not sure nicknames are something you can change at will. his adult nickname may well be what he decides he wants to be at about 14 - was with me - I have a name that can be abbreviated tons of ways. I woke up at about 14 and declared myself hat (so to speak) and it stuck. up til then I'd always been the full name - which did enable me to choose the abbreviation I liked.

just been talking about edward on my other thread. i don't like ed or eddie but love edward, ned and ted.

Interesting that you would plan to change the nickname - Ted Heath and Teddy Sheringham both suited the name as adults

I like edward and ted and even ed but really don't like eddie. Ned is also a sweet nn.
