Have whittled it down to three names but still can't decide, which do you prefer? Thank you

Edward -> Ed, Eddie

George -> Georgie

We liked George but went with Edward as two friends had babies called George when he was born. I wouldn't have considered Arthur because I can't pronounce 'th' sounds so he'd be Arfer.

I like George and the nicknames for Edward. Especially Teddy

Teddy?

Surely Edward shortens to Ed? Or Eddie? Where on earth does the T come from??

Arthur is lovely

Same place the N comes from for Ned. People have an inbuilt desire to make things rhyme Ed - Ned - Ted, Eddie - Teddy

They're all so boring!

Arthur has my vote OP

Edward or George.
I prefer traditional. I also find it amusing when people say these names are overused and too popular, when loads of the new names are massively overused.

Arthur is soooooo common! George is ok but id choose Edward, shortened to Ted!
