Edmund or Hayden (due in June)?

[BigBrownEyes25]

Thank you for answering

Edmund James or Hayden James?

Not a fan of either tbh

Edmund is a much more classic name.

Would you consider Edward? Or James?

Not keen on Edmund or Hayden, sorry OP.

Edmund James. Hayden James doesn't flow nicely. I prefer just James.

Edmund

James has to be the middle name we don't like Edward as much, unfortunately!

Edmund.

Edmund James

Edmund

Edmund

Or Edward?
Edwin?
Edgar?

Not Hayden

Edmund James is lovely :)

But Hayden James is fabulous. It does remind me a bit of Jayden/Jaydin etc. But it's a lovely classic :)!

Not Haydn please,Haydn is the big fat perv that works in my finance department,sorry.

Hayden, Kayden, Jaiden, Shaiden... nope.

I worked with an utter twat called Edmund. So no. Edgar though, yes!!!

I like Hayden. What about Holden?

Edmund. Hayden is awful.

Edmund James is lovely.

Please don't go with Holden. It's so reminiscent of that whiny prat from The Catcher in the Rye. The miserable turnip still makes me mad years after reading it!

Edmund - tho personally I prefer Edward - but Edmund is a lovely, classic, Chronicles of Narnia name.

Congratulations OP.

@SuperBeagle omg I'm so pleased someone else hates catcher in the rye! I hate holden!!!

Hayden James is lovely.

Definitely Edmund! Lovely name.

I love Edmund. Hayden seems like a surname to me, or falls into the Aiden, Jayden, Kayden bracket which I don't like.

If you like Hayden, what about:
Hamish
Hedley
Hadley
Heath
Hector
Hunter

Edmund and Hayden are both names with strong class connotations. Edmund v differently to Hayden.

Obvs if you like them, you can do what you want, and social class and assumptions are just forms of prejudice - but they sound on the page like children from 2 completely different families.

Heath, Hector and Holden are gorgoeus suggestions! I personally think these are simply fabulous :)

I prefer them to Edmund. Edmund is currently the slightly less popular but still trendy cousin of Edward.
