Is it boring?

Edward?

I absolutely love the name. I don't know of any below 50. Also love Eddie, Ned, Woody nn's. DH is worried it's a bit boring, what do you think?

Love this name. Absolutely classic. I was going to be called this if I’d been a boy. Kind of wish I had been

No, it's great. Lots of variations.

It hasn't held Ed Sheeran back

Lovely name! Not boring at all.

I know a few.Ned is awful, Teddy is very popular, Eddie is fine.
Woody is an euphemism for a stiffy, so maybe not.

Lovely

Love it. Have one!

Interesting that although popular in UK, it is far less so in USA, Australia, etc. Whereas other 'classic' (and potentially 'boring') names like Thomas, William, James, etc are popular throughout much of English speaking world.

I know an 18 month old, 36 year old and 71 year old Edward. It's a name that grows with a child for sure.

I love it.
I wanted it if DD had been a boy (but like you, my husband wasn’t keen).

Lovely, I know an Edward younger than 50.

It depends what you like. I find it a bit boring personally but I feel the same way about Thomas James Oliver Jack etc. I'd put it in that category, but if you love it you should use it.

It's fine. That's all though, it's a fine name.

Woody is a nickname for Edward though? I didn't know that!

Dull but it's your decision.

It was top of my list but it’s so popular now It put me off

It's a lovely name not boring but classic imo. Theres a lot under 50 though ime, I've met a lot in my generation (early 30s) then a lot of primary school aged ones too. So its popular but for good reason, it's a good name.

I think it is lovely.
It is also a timeless classic. I know Edwards / Ed /Eddies in every age group. Lovely name.

No, I like it and only know one child named Edward and one adult called Ed. Lots of Teddies around and Freddies, but not many Eddies! Ted can obviously be short for Edward, but it tends to be Theodore or just Teddy on the BC these days.

I love Edward - I first think of Rochester and Ferrars, so it seems quite a romantic but distinguished name to me, not at all boring. I also love that it has nearly a dozen nickname choices - I like the quirky Bear or Iolo myself.

I think it's more popular in the UK than in other countries because of it's long history of use here (10 Kings!) - it seems to have stayed in the Top 100 from the 1300's to the present day (it's one of the few "Old English" mens names still in regular use, along with Alfred and the other Ed- names).

One of my fave boys' names, not boring at all

No, it’s a classic

I know a few of all ages, including in ds infant school. But I love it. It's timeless.

It was on our shortlist. Teddy or Ned as NNs

Old fashioned name, not for me but if you love it then go for it!

I think it’s a classic and can be shortened in any number of ways

There’s a Woody in my son’s class and it doesn’t make me think of a stiffy at all , just woody from toy story! I didn’t even realise it was a diminutive name of Edward. Anyway Edward is a lovely name not boring at all.

Edward is a classic gorgeous name
Not boring at all
