Edmund, love this name.

MiniMaxi · 20/01/2017 20:37

I prefer Edmund

MiniMaxi · 20/01/2017 20:38

I should add I'm not a huge fan of the name Elliot. Though I think it is more modern than Edmund if that is a consideration

Edmund

puttingthegenieback · 20/01/2017 21:32

Edmund, definitely. Classic, gorgeous, dignified

Sophronia · 20/01/2017 21:42

Definitely Edmund. I'm not keen on Elliot.

kelj2 · 20/01/2017 21:43

Elliot

GloriousGusset · 20/01/2017 21:46

I really, really dislike the name Edmund. Really. It sounds so smug and pompous.

thebakerwithboobs · 20/01/2017 22:02

Edmund makes me think of Blackadder but this is not a bad thing.

DramaAlpaca · 20/01/2017 22:09

Edmund

janed9388 · 20/01/2017 22:17

Elliot. but I am biased as my Elliot (18m) is sleeping soundly upstairs

Jooni · 20/01/2017 22:27

I really like Edmund.

EssentialHummus · 20/01/2017 22:28

Edwin?

indigo13 · 20/01/2017 22:30

I think Elliot is boring now. Edmund is very cool

lozengeoflove · 20/01/2017 22:36

Edmund, hands down. Please pick it. I'd love to have an Edmund eyes gorgeous sleeping baby named something else altogether fabulous

CycleHire · 20/01/2017 22:40

I like Edmund. Husband wouldn't countenance it (together we approximately 1000 other names I suggested). We have an Edward.

Alyx80 · 20/01/2017 22:42

Elliot, Edmund is a bit boring.

PenelopeFlintstone · 20/01/2017 22:44

I would be Hmm at a baby called Edmund.

Wombletor · 20/01/2017 22:48

Edmund. Love it, reminds me of narnia

wendytorrence · 20/01/2017 22:50

Elliot. My ds14 is Elliott.

Pluto30 · 20/01/2017 22:58

Edmund. Smile

HoHumming · 20/01/2017 22:59

Elliott. I prefer classic traditional names but I would prefer to be an Elliott than an Edmund/Ed/Eddie by far!

Ohyesiam · 20/01/2017 23:24

Edmund doed sound a bit of an old man's name. Which I guess means it's due a revival.

buttercup54321 · 21/01/2017 00:11

Elliot

Fridgedooropen · 21/01/2017 00:14

Elliot. Edmund is always the traitor (Narnia, King Lear..)
