ted-short-for-edward would be my preference

MaggieNollaig · 02/12/2009 21:30

I like Edward/Ted the best.

I like ARchie too but it's a bit of the moment.
What about Richard with Richie for short?

Henry is awful.

JustKeepSparkling · 02/12/2009 21:30

Henry

LynetteScavo · 02/12/2009 21:32

Ted, but only if you go for Edward as a full name. Otherwise Henry.

AitchTwoToTangOh · 02/12/2009 21:34

henry's a lovely name imo.

allaboutme · 02/12/2009 21:36

Hate Archie!

Ted is best with Edward as full name

If not then Henry good as its a full name in itself

JamInMyWellies · 02/12/2009 21:40

I have an Archie have never met another Archie.

I love Ted wanted it for my DS2 but DP was worried I would call him my teddy bear all the time.

jellybeans · 02/12/2009 22:23

Ted is great. No need for longer forms.

ihaveaheadache · 02/12/2009 22:25

Love Ted. Don't understand why people feel the need to give their children longer 'formal' names they aren't even keen on just to shorten them anyway. Ted is a great name.

neverjamtoday · 02/12/2009 22:26

There was another thread with a debate about 'Henry' earlier on - and sorry I haven't changed my mind even up against Archie and Edward which I like better than Jack (the rival name in the other thread)- it's got to be Henry every time!

mumoftoomany · 03/12/2009 09:47

Really don't like Archibald (Archie) at all.

Theodore (Ted) and Henry are ok.

loobylu3 · 03/12/2009 11:37

Love Henry! Like Edward a lot but just Ted less. Archie is okay.

SuperSoph73 · 03/12/2009 11:38

Archie is definately my firm favourite with Ted coming in a close second

diddl · 03/12/2009 12:26

I love Archie!

Ok,

DS1 is Max, so...

Max and Archie
Max and Ted
Max and Oscar
Max and Louie
Max and Henry

or......I don't know! I only like Max!

Girls names have been totally sorted and so much easier!!

I know a Max and Toby - sounds nice to me.

Henry is my fave of yr choices.

Ted for me is always short for something but I know lots of people disagree.

SmacOnTheLipsUnderTheMistletoe · 05/12/2009 17:42

I like Edward.
Hate Archie and dislike Henry or Harry.

I LOVE Archie and named my DS Archie (but I much prefer this name with a Scottish Surname)

Henry is my 2nd choice of fave name for a boy along with Edward. Not keen on Ted though...

DaftApeth · 05/12/2009 20:35

No no no. Not Ted!

Much too popular now. Ds was only one I knew for years

Like Louie/Louis,Henry, Fred(dy).

AngryPixie · 05/12/2009 20:50

Ted is fab!
