Are Edward and Billy (William) together a bit 'English Kings'?

[Dualta]

Trying to decide on DC2 - a boy - our first is Edward. Have a favourite uncle I would like to name the second after- Billy. But Daniel is also in the mix. And I love Reuben as well but DH isn't keen.
What do people think? Should I go for a more modern/less old fashioned name for number 2?

If you called him Billy I wouldn't see any connection. Even more so if Edward ends up becoming an Ed or Ted.

My dad is Bill , ( William ) his brother Ted ( Edward )
I don't see a problem .

I think its more of a truly excellent adventure dude than kingly.

You would not believe how thrilled Dad was when that film came out !
Bill and Teds excellent adventure !

I personally prefer Edward and Reuben but that is because I don't like William and the associated nicknames Willy or Billy.

YY think most people will think Excellent Adventure rather than Britannic Majesty
(Have one royal and one plebeian son )

More likely to think you're an Archer's fan!

ninja only if pronounced edwooooooood and willyum

A lot of names have been used by English Kings.

Given a lot of people's point of reference for Edward is Twilight (very annoying) I really wouldn't worry about people making the kings connections. It's just not the average persons mind set.

They're classic names and sound great together!

Thanks everyone!
