I really adore this name, and I like that it’s not too popular (like so many of my favorite boy’s names seem to be), and that it’s got several different nickname options, but I’m struggling to find a name I love to pair with it.
I’d really love any suggestions that you all can throw at me. I seem to be mostly drawn to classic and vintage names, if that helps.
Thanks so much in advance!

[name]Love[/name] it! But my dad’s name is [name]Edward[/name], and I’m not really a “name my kid after my family” type of person, and its awfully close to being the same name. So I probably wont ever use it.

Also, gotta second the suggestion of [name]Edmund[/name] [name]Alexander[/name]. That sounds AMAZING together.

I agree with these two. Fabulous.
Thanks so much for the suggestions, everyone! Nothing is jumping out at me as The [name]One[/name] at the moment, but maybe it will once I’ve had a chance to think it over.
@ jame1881: Believe it or not, I’ve actually never read any of Ms. [name]Austen[/name]'s work. :shock: I need to, though, seeing all the great names she’s given to her characters. I have a definite fondness for Victorian/Edwardian-era names.
I went over my “likes” list, looking for suggestions that hadn’t been suggested already, and here’s what I found:
[name]Edmund[/name] [name]Barnabas[/name]
[name]Edmund[/name] [name]Cornelius[/name]
[name]Edmund[/name] [name]Isaiah[/name]
[name]Edmund[/name] [name]Phineas[/name]
[name]Edmund[/name] [name]Ransom[/name]
[name]Edmund[/name] [name]Solomon[/name]
[name]Edmund[/name] [name]Tobias[/name] (I like the look and the vowel sounds of this one, but it’s quite difficult to say aloud because the d and T run together.)
I think [name]Edmund[/name] [name]Ransom[/name] might be my favorite of these; I like the sound, and it has significance to me as a C.S. [name]Lewis[/name] fan. If you’re not familiar with the Chronicles of [name]Narnia[/name] (I apologize for the monologue if you are), [name]Edmund[/name] is the boy for whom the great [name]Lion[/name], Aslan, dies. So [name]Edmund[/name]'s life is “ransomed,” as it were. Then in [name]Lewis[/name]'s Space Trilogy, the hero is called by his surname–[name]Ransom[/name].
[name]Edmund[/name] also lends itself well to having surnames in the middle, especially (as [name]Edmund[/name] is a dignified name) distinguished-sounding ones:
[name]Edmund[/name] [name]Cavanaugh[/name]
[name]Edmund[/name] [name]Firth[/name]
[name]Edmund[/name] [name]Fitzpatrick[/name]
[name]Edmund[/name] [name]Gardiner[/name]
[name]Edmund[/name] [name]Hale[/name]
[name]Edmund[/name] Kilpatrick or Kirkpatrick
[name]Edmund[/name] [name]Willoughby[/name] (though, once you start reading [name]Jane[/name] [name]Austen[/name], you’ll find that [name]Willoughby[/name] has negative connotations! I just liked the sound of this one.)
This might be a nice way to honor family. Best wishes! [name]Edmund[/name] is a great name.
[name]Edmund[/name] [name]Knox[/name] is a favorite of mine. I also love [name]Edmund[/name] [name]Lysander[/name]. [name]Edmund[/name] is just such a great name
