Middle name for Edward

[pumpkinpie07]

We are currently debating the best middle name for Edward. Our thoughts are either:

Edward William
Edward Oliver

Which do you prefer? Any other suggestions?

Thanks

Edward William seems to be heavy on the W sound.
Have you thought of Edward Joseph?

Edward Oliver flows better.

George
Henry
Peter - I think this is lovely
Arthur
Benjamin
Charles
James
Samuel

Agreed, Edward William is quite hard to say, so of the two, Edward Oliver, which is very handsome.
Personally I'd go with something traditional but unexpected with Edward:

Edward Rufus
Edward Dominic
Edward Matthew
Edward Cassius
Edward Lucian
... as suggestions.

I like both your choices, but also Edward Charlie?

Edward Bear ...Do genuinely love this, he'll hate you for it though

Edward Albee

It is the name of a playwright but just sounds really good.

Nothing wrong with Edward William. However Edward Bear is much better

Edward Oliver is nice how about,

Edward John
Edward Luke
Edward Jacob/Jake
Edward Thomas
Edward Michael

Edward William!

Edward Daniel
Edward Jacob
Edward Charles
Edward Peter

My DB is William Edward - my parents thought it flowed better that Edward William and I agree.
If you definitely want Edward as a first name, consider:

Edward George
Edward Charles
Edward Joseph
Edward Arthur
Edward Louis
Edward Alexander
Edward Theodore

Hi,

Edward Benjamin
Edward James
Edward Samuel
Edward Thomas
Edward Xander
Edward Zachary

We very nearly called DS Edward William (he has a different middle name now though)

Edward Oliver

Thanks for all the comments and suggestions. I quite like the suggestion of Edward Arthur or Edward Joseph.

DH was concerned that Edward William sounded too "royal" but no one has said that which is interesting!

Edward Arthur!

Edward Albert
Edward Oscar
Edward Jacob

Ds1 is called Edward. His middle name is one that I don't think is popular on mn but it's his grandad's name so is special to us. I think it works well with Edward. He's Edward Bryan.
Funnily enough, ds2 is called Samuel so for me Edward Samuel doesn't quite work!
I think Edward William has too many Ws too. We gave our Edward his dad's name (now mine too as we are now married) as my surname started with W and it didn't sound right.
Edward Oliver sounds fine to me.

I also like
Edward James
Edward Anthony
Edward Joseph

Both flow nicely but I prefer Edward Oliver

Edward Walsh

I think both sound lovely.
I prefer Edward Oliver sounds cute !!

What about Edward James ?

Whichever sounds best with your surname.

I also like Edward James.

Edward Oliver flows best from your choices.

I'm married to an Edward William
Go for it. I certainly don't regret it.

I know an Edward louis and Edward harry.

I love these names- but separately I think rather than as a combination.

Edward William is quite heavy with "W" sound.
Edward Oliver (any name with Oliver middle name sounds like a hairdresser's to me!!- don't ask me why!)

I quite like short middle names;

Edward James
Edward George
Edward Heath
