Ted or Noah?

[Snowson]

Absolutely adore them both. BC would be Ted (really not keen on any longer version) and probably called Teddy. Or Noah? I love Noah, but people always say it sounds like a very strained 'no', so I do keep thinking that!

Oh, I adore Ted. The Ted I knew was Harrow-educated with beautiful manners and a sweet personality. 😍

Bored of Noah, although used to like it.

Ted

I've never heard anyone say it "sounds like a strained no" except on mumsnet. I think it's a mumsnet thing.

Either way it's a much nicer name than Ted or Teddy. Yuck.

Noah

Noah.

Ted on its own is awful. I'm not even keen on it as a nickname, but at least when it's a nickname, he has other options. Remember, Ted might be very cute on a baby, but your baby is, for the majority of their life, going to be an adult (mostly middle-aged), and Ted really isn't so nice then.

Neither but I like Theodore

Edward or Theodore

Ted. But as above, prefer Edward or Theodore for BC (love both these names) with Ted or Teddy as a nn

I find Noah a bit dull tbh.

Noah is a very cute name!!

Definitely Ted.

I honestly don't find Noah cute...., it sounds like No, a....

Noah is lovely but it is very popular and will probably date.
Ted short for Edward is fine.

I would choose Ted.

Noah is incredibly common at the moment, at least round here, so you might want to think about that.

Ted if its a nn for Edward, but not on its own.

I suppose Noah, Ted remind me of a teddy bear. I remember in my 20s working with a really good looking guy who was also in his 20s whose name was called Ted/Teddy but everyone took the piss out of his name. I'd rather Eddie as a nickname for Edward.

ted short for Theodore is lovely ,whats wrong with longer versions.A longer version looks smart on documentation but a nickname what you name on day to day its like my name Josephine but i was called phina at home .Placing Theodore on the documentation gives your child the option of being called ted,teddy,theo,Theodore when their grown letting them choose

Merge the two and you've got Ned?
I have a Noah. I loved it then and I love it now. If I could call all of my children Noah I would!
I don't think it will date
Teds cute too though, much better than Teddy. And I do actually like Ned!
