Substantial names with nns

[dingalingalang]

Top two current favourites are

Edward nn Woody
Francis nn Frank/Frankie

Thoughts on these?

I love Edward/Woody. I also love Frank, but dislike Francis (I would use just Frank.)

I love Edward - ultimate classic boys name. I'm not keen on Woody, but that doesn't really matter since it's a nickname (I like Bear or Iolo as nn's for Edward myself). Francis is okay, but feels a bit dated compared to Edward.

I'm not keen on either of the full names, sorry (but I'm not a lover of very traditional names), I like both nick names. Having said that I prefer Ted or Teddy as a nn for Edward.

Laurence - Laurie

Willam - Billy

Sidney - Sid

Alfred - Alfie

I like Edward but prefer Ed or Tes as nicknames. I really don't like Francis.
