Help[Opinions] Edward
I'm thinking more and more about Edward lately.
Its my grandfathers name and I absolutely love it, however I didn't think that realistically that we would use it. However now I really really love it.
My problem with using it as a middle name is that we will 100% use Stewart as one middle name (after my paternal grandfather, father and brother) my fathers middle name is Stewart and my brothers middle names are Edward Stewart, so i'm wondering if we used Edward Stewart as his middle names that it would be too much of a copy or a bit boring...
I do like it as a FN but my husband is so damn set on having a Theo its likely we will end up with Theodore, Theodora and Theobald or something ridiculous for three kids!! lol. So it would be hard to talk him into Edward.
So:
1. What do you think of Edward (if we use a nickname it would be Ned, because my grandfather is Eddie/Ed)
2. Which do you prefer Edward or Theodore
3. What do you think of Theodore Edward Stewart (Arnold is SN)
4. Would it be weird to have two Edwards in the family.

1. Edward is a very handsome name and it would be quite refreshing to hear of the name being used! Ned is a nice nickname and I actually like it better than Ed/Eddie. Ted is also a possible nickname but you'd have to get your husband to really compromise because a Ted and a Theo would be odd. No nickname is nice too!
2. I like Theodore best myself but mostly because most Edwards (or my favorite Edmund) here in the USA would immediately get called Eddie or Ed and I have some bad associations with those nicknames. I've come to like Theodore quite a bit lately and quite like Teddy as a nickname.
3. Theodore Edward Stewart have a very handsome sound to it and goes very nicely with your surname. I did have an idea, if you didn't want the middle names to seem to exactly copy your brother your could always switch it to Theodore Stewart Edward. Either way the names sound lovely together! :)
4. I don't think it would be weird at all to have two Edwards in the family, especially as there is such a gap in generations and it is a very nice way to honor your grandfather. Also your grandfather goes by Ed/Eddie and your son would most likely be Ned (or just Edward) so there's enough of a difference in beginning sounds that it wouldn't be too tricky for family gatherings.
