DC2 is William, always always known as Will. Unborn DC3 is a boy- our favourite name by far is Edward, to be known as Ted.
I've realised the famous Bill and Ted pairing exists. Given that DC2 is never ever Bill, can I get away with this? Otherwise DC3 will have to be Ed instead which I quite like but would be a bit of a shame.

Can I get away with this name pairing?

Surely the natural shortening of Edward is Ed. It's not Tedward ?!

Ted is an extremely common nickname for Edward.
Imagine trying to explain that to your child and why the shortening of his name starts with a different letter... personally I'd find Ed a much easier shortening
