Edward James is my favorite too, unless either of the others have a family connection.

VinnyTheVagina · 16/01/2018 02:32

Definitely James.
Congratulations!!

INeedNewShoes · 16/01/2018 08:49

Wow, a MN consensus!

user1459464195 · 16/01/2018 09:11

Aw, he's scrumptious, congratulations! Edward James does sound lovely. The only potential downside is that James is a VERY common middle name for boys - not sure if that bothers you or not.

Other suggestions:
Edward Matthew
Edward Lewis
Edward Oliver
Edward Lawrence
Edward Miles
Edward Joel

Afreshcuppateaplease · 16/01/2018 09:13

Edward James

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 16/01/2018 09:24

A perfect little peach, many congratulations OP. 💙💐
Edward James is lovely, but I rather like Edward Alan.

SwinginFromTheChandelier · 16/01/2018 09:28

Edward James hands down!

Obviously I don't know if your 3 suggestions have personal connections but I also like-

Edward Thomas
Edward William
Edward Alexander

However if you o like the styles of these names bear in mind for future siblings use!

Congratulations he's lovely 😊

GreatDuckCookery6211 · 16/01/2018 09:35

Aw he's beautiful!

Edward is lovely. I think James is the best out of your list. What about

Edward Christopher
Edward Hugo
Edward William
Edward Henry
Edward Jasper
Edward Felix
Edward Andrew
Edward Benjamin
Edward Charles
Edward George
Edward Laurence
Edward Magnus
Edward Peter

Love Edward James.

He is absolutely beautiful.

n0ne · 16/01/2018 10:50

I actually like Edward Alan. I'm not a fan of Alan as a name usually but it goes lovely with Edward. I'm assuming it might be a family name too? Otherwise it's quite an unusual choice. Refreshingly so!

whinetasting · 16/01/2018 10:59

Another vote for James.

He's GORGEOUS 😃😃

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 16/01/2018 11:08

mrsprefect · 16/01/2018 12:33
