What do you think of Cedric

It may come from Celtic Caradoc, meaning 'beloved'. Ivanhoe and Harry Potter character.
I think it should be used more.

I don’t.

I quite like it.

I kind of like it

Love it.

I really like Cedric. It’s strong without being too harsh sounding.

It's awful. Wet and has a rather unattractive sound.

I like it!

I prefer Caradoc/Caradog

I think it could be due for a revival as there won't be many of the previous Cedric's around now. I imagine them as crusty WW1 veterans with toothbrush moustaches but they were all babies once.

Go for it!

Noooo it’s really bad.

Absolutely not. I mean, for starters he died in the Goblet of Fire.

I thought of the HP character. I wouldn't.

I’m trying really hard to think of what my 15 year old and his friends would make of it It’s up there with Cecil, Trevor, Nigel, Dennis and other similar names which fell out of fashion for a good reason. Don’t do this to your child.

The Racoons!

I don't think it sounds out well.
I don't think my boys would like it.
A no from me.

I think it's horrible. It's fine for a 90 year old, but not a baby. I know they were once babies, but that was then, not now.

Not keen. Old and dusty sounding to me.

As in Cedric diggory who died in Happy Potter and then went on to be a shiny vampire in a series promoting pro-life narrative?

Sure, why not?

I think you are getting confused between Cedric Diggory the character and Robert Pattinson the actor.

I don't think it's a terrible name at all! French people have it.

Cyril I don't think I like but Cedric could be rocked by a child.

Old Saxon-ish name like Wulfric, Wilfred, Frederic, Alfred. Love it. Would use.
cedric is a tousled-haired archaeologist, softly spoken and kind.

I love it, and it goes really well with DD's name so it's on my list for future babies.

I also like Cecil and Nigel however, so take from that what you will! 😄 (I'm not from the UK so have slightly different takes on them, though I do live here, for reference.)

It's very dweeby. In the same category as Cecil and Cyril and Percy.

Not keen.

I know loads of French Cedrics, all around 40, so might be considered dated there. It's pronounced Cedrique.
