William and Edward

[Mommypower]

Just after thoughts and advice,... we have a son called William and thinking of calling our second son Edward.... what do people think? Good choice? Do they go well together?

My friend has two boys with these names and they are lovely if that helps!

Really nice

Lovely!

Excellent combination. Both timeless classic names.

Yes, I have a William and if DC2 had been a boy he would have been Edward. They can be Will and Ed which I think are both lovely nicknames too.

Both great names.

Perfect!

They are both lovely names and sound great together.
Great choice

Ahh gorgeous names

I like them both but together they're a bit too "royal" for me.

I think more of The Archers (Grundy brothers) but I'm obsessed!

Thanks for the advice/thoughts really helpful.

I think they're lovely. As long as you don't mind Bill and Ted - which would be fine!

I like both names but did think of Bill & Ted’s excellent adventure. But I don’t think many people will.

Yep, they go together just fins. Nice combo

Do it

@SheliaHammondDiet @Whiskas1Kittens yeah Bill & Ted would be one of my concerns - especially as there’s a new film of it coming out this August - don’t want them to be bullied because of my choices

I see Gasp0deTheW0nderD0g beat me too it.

How about Benjamin?

to not too.

William and Edward are fine. Will and Ed.

@ MikeUniformMike we like Benjamin but couldn’t have it as our children would be “Bill & Ben” lol.

Lovely!

Most people won't mention Bill and Ted. Only older people know alternatives of names.

Well spotted. I know of a family where they wanted to DC2 Benjamin, but vetoed it for that reason. They called him Edward.
