Eddie ??

[MiraclesDoHappen82]

What are people’s thoughts on using the name Eddie as a first name and not shortened from Edward?

I have a dog called Edward. He NEVER gets called Eddie. Its just wrong!

I would go for Edwin love Eddie though.

I really like Eddie but I'd say it has to be short for Edward or Edmund.

Love! And I love your calling him what you're going to call him if yswim! Drives me mad- "he's called Edward but his chosen name is Eddie" just call him bloody Eddie then!
It's cute and trendy and I love it!

When I see Eddie I read Edie (short for Edith).
Assuming you don’t mind that confusion go ahead and give your child a diminutive as a name.

A family friend is called Edward and he absolutely HATES it if anyone calls him Eddie. Personally I prefer Eddie, especially on a baby/child, but perhaps you’d better put Edward on the birth certificate.

Not keen on Eddie. I like Edward and Ed though.

My ds1 is Edward and goes by Eddie or Ned
