like Edward but not Edward!

[janie2]

I'm posting for my sister, they like Edward but not the nn that go. They prefer traditional, not bothered by popularity necessarily as they want a name they like. They like James and George but can't have. They also like Athol, Alistair, Matthew, Andrew....you get the idea?
Your help will be appreciated!

[janie2]

Lol Hen! Thankfully it's unlikely, we live quite nearby said place, they live in London commuter belt!
Great names coming folks, thank you! I'll pass them on. Sis is liking Seth but she has a concern it's too short with their equally short surname.

We do indeed Rommell

Grant?

[HenI5]

So long as they don't choose Blair Athol

I had Freddie for a DS after my Grandad.

[Rommell]

Slendergirl, yes, I thought I was being all trail-blazing and that! Ach well, at least we both have excellent taste.

My Edward is just an Edward - aged nearly 7. He just gives people a hard stare or ignores if another version is tried ;-)

[Rommell]

Oops I see that it has been suggested by slendergirl. My apologies, slendergirl!

[Rommell]

Murdo is a nice traditional Scottish name that hasn't been mentioned yet.

[LynetteScavo]

Just go with Edward then!

My ds has a name with many popular diminutives. He is only ever known by his name. - it's never shortened.

[Clobbered]

Curious which nicknames they don't like?!

My Edward goes by 'Dward (rhymes with hard) to the family, and Edwina whenever he needs a haircut…..

Thanks folks! Mothergothel I agree with you! They have a couple of months left so want to get some options! I love looking through all the names people suggest some I'd never have thought of
