Edward, Laurence, or Hugo?

[DoloresLandingham]

Edward would possibly be shortened to Teddy during babyhood (I know that this is widely disliked on MN).
Laurence with a u rather than a w. Probably known as Laurie while small.
Hugo wouldn’t be shortened.

Surname is double-barrelled. Sister has a New Testament name in the top 100.

Laurence/Laurie is my favourite.

Hugo

Good list! I actually think you can't go wrong, but Laurence/Laurie probably has the edge for me.

I thought Teddy was a nickname for Theodore?

I like Edward but Teddy is a silly nickname with it, nothing wrong with Eddie.

All lovely, Teddy is definitely a nickname for Theodore or Edward.
I'd probably go with Laurence or Hugo as have met a few Edwards around. I like the nickname Laurie.

Edward and Laurence are both lovely. Not the biggest fan of Hugo (but that's just me!)

Love Lawrence (prefer w but still my fave of the 3), went to school with one many moons ago and it was never shortened.
Edward is fab too but much more popular.
Don't like Hugo (sorry)

My son is called Lawrence which is never shortened. He has a nickname which is completely unrelated to his name. He's the only one in his school :-).

Ted / Teddy is a well-known and long-established nn for Edward so I'm quite comfortable with that. I'm surprised you have never heard of it - Ted Heath? Ted(dy) Kennedy? Ted Hughes? All Edwards.

Teddy bears are named for Theodore Roosevelt but the Teddy - Edward connection is so well established that Winnie the Pooh is sometimes referred to in the books at Edward Bear as a mock-formal full name.
