Edwin/ Raymond

My grandpa and my ex's grandad were both named Edwin
I'm not too keen on the name, but was wondering if you could think of any variations that might honor it?
Or the name Raymond, as that was ex's father's name?

Everybody loves Raymond.

Neither sorry

Raymond isn't a name you hear much these days, the shortened version Ray is more the norm I think in a man of a certain age.

I remember a Raymond in my class at school in the 70's and he was a lovely little boy. Love the name Edwin and also Edmund for a variation.

I like Edward/Edmund/Ted/Teddy or Ray

AutumnCrow · 11/02/2019 18:59

I love them both. Ed, Eddie, Edwin. Ray, Raymond. Lovely.

I'm not really keen on either myself to be honest, but I feel that it would be fitting to name after either of them because they will be the only ones continuing on either of the family surnames (so far at least...).
I'm only 9+4 so I have plenty of time though!!

Edwin as a middle name?

nombrecambio · 11/02/2019 19:08

I know a 3 year old Raymond. I really like it.

lljkk · 11/02/2019 19:11

I luffs Raymond & Edgar. Not so keen on Eddie, I suppose.

DrCoconut · 11/02/2019 21:32

I really like Edwin. It's my late Uncle and cousin's middle name.

Tillygetsit · 11/02/2019 22:23

I love Edwin with Ned as a shortening.

LarkDescending · 12/02/2019 09:21

Edmund, perhaps, as a (sort of) blend of Edwin and Raymond?

MikeUniformMike · 12/02/2019 11:30

Of the 2 I prefer Raymond.
Edwin is ok but please not Ned.

RuthW · 12/02/2019 13:39

Edwin is my fav boy's name ever

Antonin · 13/02/2019 14:50

Redmond as a blend?

ketchupormayo · 14/02/2019 17:18

I don't know why people insist on calling their baby a name after family members when they don't even like the name, just use it as a middle name

For Edwin:
Edward (one of my favourites!)
Elliott
Everett
Emmett
I actually adore all the names I've listed. I'm not sure about Raymond though! Good luck darling x
