Samuel or Edward? I can't decide.

[Jojay]

Would no doubt end up Sam or Ed / Eddie.

What to you think?

I forget my Sam is called Samuel

Not keen on Edward but LOVE Ned

and I love Sam too

What about Edward Samuel

or

Samuel Edward?

I am sooooooooooo original!

Edward. Is my husband's name. He insists it's Edward, and introduces himself as such etc, but I would guess at least half of people shorten it to Ed, even though not invited to

sammy or eddie ,hmmm

Edward.

Love it.

Another vote for Edward from me. Lovely name.

I have a Samuel/Sam. I wanted to call him Nicholas (Nick/Nicky/Nico etc) but was outvoted (4-1) by rest of family

He is Sam mostly. Not at all wishy-washy though

My Sam's best friend is an Ed btw

Samuel

I know an Ed who is not an Edward - he's an Edmund. Only he doesn't tell anyone because of all the Blackadder jokes.

Love Ed/Eddie

Both are nice names but I much prefer Edward....I know of an Edward nicknamed "Teddy" which I quite like.

Edward, no question. Sam mule, just don't like the way it sounds. If boys were my destiny (which they are clearly not!), would have had Edward with Ned for short.

DC1 due in 5 weeks, will be Samuel if DS. I LOVE it and always have. But then, the cat is Eddie, so that was never in the running!

edward is an excellent name
there are too many sams and not enough edwards around IMO

Love Samuel. Seriously considered it for ds, who ended up as a Matthew. I don't know if it is just still early days, but I am not sure that ds really suits his name now. Am honestly thinking about changing it to Samuel, but at 7 weeks old I am afraid that its too late!
