Edward .. I shouldn't be doing this

[bytheMoonlight]

I mean we haven't even decided if we are going to have number 3 ... but if we do, and if I had a boy I would love an Edward nicknamed Ted.

Everyone I have spoken has told me it's either too 'Posh' or too 'Old fashioned'.

I love it though. Do you?

I have a 4 year old Ted/Teddy. I was bullied into putting Edward on the birth certificate but have never actually shared that information with Ted, I LOVE it! Have received only positive comments (to my face)

As someone who hasn't got an Edward (and is therefore unbiased ), I find the name quite dull.

But thankfully we all have different tastes .

I have an Edgar which we love :) despite lots of negative reactions in the beginning !!
Also like Ed and Ned as nn for later. Don't like Eddie though.

Edwin is another alternative which I like, although it gets a mixed reaction on here.

Edwin's cool.

Another one here! Mine is 16 and definitely not a ted. Teds ok but it's a sweet little person name, not a hulking great rugby player name. However it's a really flexible name.

reality DS is an Edward, he and DH used to go on excellent adventures .

Schwing!

Yes ... but ... Garth!? Whataname!

You'll just have to have another baby, and it will have to be another boy

Theas My great uncle was a Ted and he played rugby for his country !!!!!!!

Love Edward, would be beyond stupid with our surname though, gutted.

Is your surname Edwards?!
I once went out with a boy called Stephen Stephenson. And he was only the 2nd of 10 children so goodness knows what the younger ones were called if they were that unoriginal with their 2nd

I think you have excellent taste.

DD would have been Edward. (smile)

Lovely name. I like it with the nn Ned.

I have an Edward known as Ned. He has gone through phases of reverting to Edward and I think might use the full name when he gets older, but for the moment Ned suits him.

No Posey, but an ED sound.
Gary and Phil Neville's (ex-England footballers, both pkayed for Man Utd) Dad is called Neville Neville.

Imagine.

Reality: you do NOT have a cousin called Garth!. You don't ... not really

I know a Dave Davies

But Edward is a great name.

My dgs is Rdward know as Ted and he is absolutely gorgeous :)

Edward!
