First name for Edward

[Sausagedogmom]

I'm in desperate search for a first name, since I'm running out of time and ideas. Middle name is Edward, surname starts with H. Any suggestions welcome. Thanks.

I think most of the "classics" work with Edward (apart from anything ending with "ed")

What do you like? What have you discounted? Hard to suggest things without knowing that. Given Edward’s a classic I’m assuming that’s what you like? These are a few less common classics

Hugh/Hugo

Edward is a classic, but I'm open to modern names as well. In general not so keen of names being shortened to NN, that's why I'm afraid to use Edward (Eddie, Teddy) as a first name. Neither would I like names which makes it easy for other kids to bully him.

So you want a modern name that can't be shortened?
In my experience, people with short names still get nn or even their shortened and you'll never avoid that once he goes to school.

Names will almost always be shortened and if they can’t be shortened they’ll be lengthened.

Kyle Edward
James Edward
George Edward
Sean Edward
Felix Edward
Liam Edward
Milo Edward
Theo Edward
Riley Edward

Nicknames are fine and I understand you can shorten every name. But I would like a name which isn't shorten all the time.

Toby Edward
Oscar Edward
Finley Edward
Louis Edward
Jasper Edward

If you aren't keen on nicknames, I'd stick with something shortish already - Adam, Hugh, Owen, Evan, Felix, Leo, Max, Marcus, Jack, Luke, Isaac, Aaron, Dylan, Rufus etc (obviously these could have nn's but they aren't as likely - not like Joe, Sam, Dan, Ben, Tom, Alex etc which are obvious shortenings for their full versions).

Guy - can’t really shorten or lengthen it. Though I did know one that had it lengthened to Guido.

Ahhh.. I saw some great names. Obviously for personal reasons not keen all of them (e.g. had a creepy classmate named Toby)
Atm I do favor
Milo Edward
Jasper Edward
Felix Edward

Milo Jasper and Felix are really lovely @Sausagedogmom

Caleb, Seth, Austin, Tristan, Eric, Marley

Ellis, Otis

I would avoid names starting with M unless you don't mind the initials spelling 'meh'.
