Bill & Ted

[Mommypower]

Just after some honest opinions. I’ve got a son called William and really like the name Edward. What do people think? I’ve read other posts that the 2 names can be shortened to make Bill & Ted. It just happens that there’s a new Bill & Ted being released this August. Do you think I’m being cruel calling my sons this and creating a platform for easy target bullying ie: saying catchphrases as walking past and almost losing their own Identity. I know kids will be kids and find other things to bully if not a name) your thoughts would be great.

I like it, can't see a problem with it

Party on dude!

Although I wouldn't shorten Edward to Ted

Well, as we know, Ted’s name wasn’t Edward, it was Theodore. Do you call your first son Bill?

Will and Ted for nn instead?

Totally excellent dude....sorry
Do you currently shorten William to Bill? If not, I doubt anyone would put 2&2 together.
When are you due??

Bill S Preston
Ted Theodore Logan

69 dude!!

I don't know anything about the movie... Do you call William Bill already? You could use Eddie or Ned for Edward instead.

I guess their life could be an excellent adventure..

Or it could be a bogus journey

Their generation won’t have a clue. You’d hope adults have a bit more tact. That said, it wouldn’t bother me if people did make the odd joke, but I am a big fan.

I've just had to google bill and ted as I had no idea what it was (I'm late 20s) so I'd say it's fine.

Ted's a lovely nn

well most will associate it with bill and ted's excellent adventure.
might make for some teenage shenanigans.

🙌

Call them Will and Ed then.
