Hector or Edmund?

[Tessa23]

Hector or Edmund? Thoughts appreciated! neither are my top 5 but they are where my DH and I sort of cross over …

I love both but I prefer Edwin to Edmund so I’ll say Hector!

Edmund, although Hector is quite cool.

Or what about Edgar?

I love Hector

Hector wins

I know a late teenage Hector. He is fabulous, but he friends continually addressing him as ‘Hec’ (or occasionally as ‘Flippin’ Hec’) would do my head in.,

Definitely Edmund.

Ooh, I love both! I think Hector has the edge for me, though.

I also liked Victor for DS, but he looked nothing like a Victor when he was born

Hector

Hector is an awful name IMO.
Edmund is ok i guess.

Hector the noun always reminds me of hector the verb, which seems like a cruel start for a small child. Not a fan of edmund either. Like Edwin and Edgar though, grandpa name revivals due for both of them

I can't see Edmund without thinking of Blackadder

I do like Hector

I don’t hate many names but Edmund is absolutely awful. Hector is lovely.

DD (early 20s) had a Hector in her year group - I will always remember him as one of the most charming, polite, talented and clever young boys I’ve ever met. I really can’t say that anybody ever cared or thought about the meaning of his name! It’s unusual in a nice way in my opinion

To hector is to bully. So my vote would go for Edmund.

I love both. Would Edmund have a nickname?

I think they’re both horrendous. Hector just makes me think of Hector’s House, and Edmund makes me think of Blackadder.

Edmund, Hector reminds me of breaking bad 🛎️

Neither are my taste, but I’d pick Edmund so he could go by Ed.

Edmund

My Edmund is 11. He likes it. Doesn’t use a diminutive yet. It’s also handy as Edmond is used in other European countries.

i prefer Hector

Neither Edward rather than Edmund and Hector is a dogs name .

Edmund
