Just that really... and why?

George because I don't like Ed or Eddie and would expect them to be used at some point regardless of whether I wanted them to be.

Edward for exactly the opposite reason to napping!

Edward- I'm not wild about Eddie- love Ted/Teddy though.

George- nice but fewer 'options' with it.

Edward - much cooler nicknames than George which IMO is a little dull.

Both nice
Lots and lots of boys named Teddy and George near me

Edward seems a bit more unusual at the moment but it's still a classic.

(not Teddy as nn though)

Edward

I love both names. George has a really nice sound to it. But Eddie is a cute nickname. There are literally billions of Teddy / Teddie / Teds down here - and Freddie's!

Edward

Edward as its more unusual IMO and my daughter goes to school with an Edward and he's lovely!

CarrotVan · 16/08/2016 12:28

Both lovely but George will have people thinking he's named after the prince (which might or might not bother you). Edward is really nice

George. Much nicer than Edward imo, but I don't like the nn of Ed or Eddie.

EllenJanethickerknickers · 16/08/2016 12:44

Edward, because I like the many nicknames, Ed, Eddie, Ted, Teddy, Ned...

SteviebunsBottrittrundle · 16/08/2016 14:13

Edward; nice nick names and George is getting a bit overused where I live. I do like it though.
