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 didn't realise that this was gaining in popularity, tis one of our thoughts if dc2 turns out to be a boy!

Yes it's a great name :)

Lovely name and has some great nicknames. Especially love Teddy and Eddie, which was my grandfather's nn.

Slightly different, but just as lovely imo, is Edmund.

Edwin is also good.

No, it's not.

I rate it as cringingly dull, and Ted is just.. ugh. But it's also very popular, so I'm sure you'll get along fine people like me keep their opinions to selves in real life.

Edwin Aldrin's nickname was Buzz.

Edward's a lovely name, and Ted/Teddy is a great nickname. I like all the Ed names - Edmund, Edwin, Edgar.

Love it. One of mine has it as a middle name.

Love it, trying to convince dsis to call new baby Eddie. He's 11 days old and still unnamed! :O)

Agatha "I'm trying to conceive at the moment and he's definitely going to be an Edward too"

wow, that's quite some multi-tasking - lucky you didn't drop your laptop/phone.......

Sorry to lower the tone.

Edward is a lovely name.

No, it's not.

Why not?
