Edgar!

[RosieLemonade]

Am I mad?

It's a strong name I love it

I know a young Edgar, nice enough little boy but I hate the name and everyone I’ve ever mentioned him in passing to always pulls a face and asks “Edgar?!” (With that expression on their face) His name is usually shortened to Egg.

I know of a one year old Edgar. I think it was a bit of a surprise to his grandparents initially, but they all love it now. It's a good strong name

Nice

Always liked it

I really like it!

It's an adorable name, but it does make me think of an old teddy

Love, love it!

One of the very few good men in King Lear. I love it.

My dog is called Edgar.

Love it. Feels cute but also distinguished.

LOVE IT.

Love it. I wanted it for ds but Dh wasn’t keen.

The little boy next door to me is an Edgar, and he's adorable, so I'm in favour.

Edgar has really grown on me (even though I think overall I still prefer Edward, probably just because I hear it more). Like others I instantly think of Allan Poe followed by King Lear and the ancient King Edgar the Peaceful (I guess because Edgar is not often used today). But I think it's a very useable name - quirky, with a sort of aristocratic feel, while still being well-heard of and fitting in with the other Ed's/Eddie's about. Nice choice!

Never thought of it before or met one but I think it's fab! Go for it!

Oh it’s a wonderful name. I love the name Edgar. I know brothers Edgar and Magnus.

Edgar is a wet posh name imo. Horrid. Edward is much stronger.

Edgar is one of the ugliest names ever.

I’ve always had an irrational hated of this name. Makes me think of eggs too. But it’s probably just personal taste, rather than a terrible name.

Dislike sorry. I also think it is wet and similarly, it makes me think of eggs. Edward is a good strong name, I would go with that.

I like it! Gravitas when he wants it, and a lovely shortening to Eddie when he wants to be more fun. I think it mostly depends on his surname. Edgar could scan weirdly with some sounds. Try them together and see

It's a great name, one of my favourites!

No, it's awful.

Read Edgar the sausage inspector!
