Hi, which name for the son. Clark or Edward?

OP posts:

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

Edward is the better of the two. Several nn options. Clark is fine too but does make me think of the shoe shop.

poor boy would have a lifetime of "Clark? Like Clark Kent?" ahead of him

No idea who that is and I doubt anyone would say that!!

Edward is lovely!

Edward

I much prefer Clarke (with an E).

lifeinthehills · 03/12/2022 05:07

Edward.

I’d chose Edward. Are your name choices inspired by National Lampoons Christmas Vacation (watched it last night so Clark and Uncle Eddie are on my mind)?.

Why has nobody pointed out the obvious? Clark is a surname

Rauha · 03/12/2022 15:13

Edward
