Hector or Edgar?

[flat4]

Can't decide between these two.

Hector Edward or Edgar William?

Do you think that Edgar will get 'Eggie'?

I love edgar its my middle name sometimes wish I had called ds that

I think Edgar is more timeless and Hector is more 'hip'. But I am a sucker for a hip name!

My heart says Hector but I am slightly concerned about the verb.

Hector

Not over fond of Edgar but like Edmund.

Edgar William sounds like a great name. I know a few baby Hectors. It does seem very of the moment.

Hector!

I think Ed is quite hip though. Having said that my ds has a hip name

I love Edgar. Fabulous name.

Edgar is great!
Hector is nice too...

I don't like either, especially Edgar and think both could be targets for bullies (I know any name could but these are a bit much). I would reverse them if I had to use them and have either Edward or William as a first name.

Targets for bullies? they are both classics

I guess you could say that about Hubert or Humphrey, but you know if you named your child either of those you would be setting up them up for a difficult time.

What do you base this on?

V popular trendy Edgar round here
Hector more mainstream now

I work with young children and see the awful side of bullying.

Love Edgar.

Oh I see never heard of bullying over a name especially a classic.

It happens a lot unfortunately

Must say never come across it and am old time parenter

neither, sorry
prefer Edmund/Edward to Edgar

I think of Edgar as quite hip actually- eg. Edgar Wright (Director of Shaun of the Dead etc), Edgar Davids (Dutch former footballer extraordinaire), and Egg from 'This Life' was also an Edgar.

Hector!

Love both, slight pref to Edgar, tis getting popular round these parts, think tge new Oscar...

Edgar

Re: the bullying.

He'll fit in fine at Eton, would have the piss taken at a state comp. Names depend on circumstance sometimes.

Edgar is more bully-proof I'd say, due to Ed as a nickname.

Edgar is fab!
