I love Ted but DH hates Edward (too posh for us apparently )

Are there any other names we can use instead?

My Ted has a short surname and no middle name

My dad was Ted, shortened from Edwin if that's any help.

I know some Teds now tho who are just Ted.

LOL @ Ted Ermintrude.

I once had a boy in my class who had Ted as a nickname. His real name was Michael

Did he ever get teased because of being called Ted Tommy?
