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.

@toastofthetown

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

''Twas a little joke! 😂

I like both Cyril and Percy and love Cecily for the girl 😂

@PoemBeatrice , Caradoc is an ancglicised form of Caradog.
Cedric was a made up name and isn't welsh

This is the only Cedric I know (and it's turned out she's a girl)

Me reading that...

It's not really my taste. Cedric the cat is beautiful, though @Grumpyoldpersonwithcats

Love it

Cedric Sneer!

I didn't used to like it (would have considered it in same 'wet' category as Cyril and Cecil) but I think it has been revived by Cedric Diggory, who is not a weak character at all (though sadly gets killed early on so, there is that more negative association).
I also think Percy has been saved from this category somewhat by the Percy Jackson books!

I think it's nice and different. The football player is hot lol (Cédric Soares).

It's a thumbs up from me 😆.

Seriously, not sure. It makes me think of The Raccons.

I suspect it could be one of those names that grows on you though.

Not keen on Cedric and find Caradog absolutely awful.

I kkow its not right but the name cedric may get made fun of. I agree with posters who have said it sounds wet.

Isn't that Dominic Cummings's son's name? Ced, so presume Cedric?

Cedric Sneer from the Raccoons!

Makes me think of Cedric Diggory then Ivanhoe. It’s not terrible but not lovely if that makes sense. Like I wouldn’t think what an awful name, poor little kid. But I also wouldn’t think oh how lovely what a gorgeous name. I do think there’s something a bit wet about it.

I seriously considered it for my DS! Love the name, but it didn’t work with our family name.

Awful name.

Quite like it. Fits with names like Ernest and Louis which are v popular

This

Pronounced said-rick or seed-rick?

I don't like names where there are two pronunciations unless I'm equally in love with both.

I love it!

Diggory

I like it. He’s a good character in HP right?

No to Cedric. It just sounds pompous and pretentious to me- though everyone's name associations are very individual.
