Thoughts on [name_m]Edmund[/name_m]?
It’s got amazing history, the name of saints and kings but I do worry that people only ever think of [name_f]Narnia[/name_f] when they hear it.
Nickname options apart from [name_m]Ed[/name_m] or [name_m]Eddie[/name_m] (though I do love [name_m]Eddie[/name_m])?
I might think of [name_m]Edmund[/name_m] Pevensie, but only in addition to thinking about the name itself, if that makes sense. It’s certainly not so tied to [name_f]Narnia[/name_f] that you’d need to worry, imo.
Ted
[name_u]Teddy[/name_u]
Eddo
[name_u]Mo[/name_u]
[name_u]Red[/name_u]
[name_m]Ned[/name_m]
I don’t think only of [name_f]Narnia[/name_f], but I’ve also never read the books. It’s a very cozy name.
I do only think of [name_f]Narnia[/name_f], but I think that is because that is really the only reference I have for the name. I’ve never met one, here in the States. I’m no historian, so that lends little help to me, either. That being said, it is a nice name and I don’t think that the [name_f]Narnia[/name_f] thing is a bad association. For the people like me, it as least gives us a connection to draw from.
I can’t think of any other nicknames than what has already been listed.
I absolutely love [name_m]Edmund[/name_m]. My first thought is [name_f]Narnia[/name_f], if that’s a problem, but I think it’s a wonderful vintage choice that’s familiar, but not overly common.
It does bring to mind [name_m]Edmund[/name_m] Pevensie, and, for me, [name_m]Edmund[/name_m] [name_m]Bertram[/name_m] ([name_m]Mansfield[/name_m] [name_m]Park[/name_m]). But those associations are not the reason I adore the name. I love [name_m]Edmund[/name_m] for its strength and warmth, because it is a handsome name with a long history of use. Plus, it’s so rare in the US, and yet it is a classic.
[name_m]Even[/name_m] if the [name_m]Edmund[/name_m] of [name_f]Narnia[/name_f] is the most common association with the name, at least it’s a good one, right? At least it’s not a hideous, villainous character. I guess, what I mean is, use the name you love. If that is [name_m]Edmund[/name_m], then at least the main connotation with the name is a positive one:)
I just think that it’s a great name. I love [name_m]Edmund[/name_m], and [name_f]Narnia[/name_f] is not my first thought when I hear the name, I just think of how nice it sounds and how much history goes with it. Personally, I like [name_m]Ned[/name_m] best as a nickname.
I really like [name_m]Edmund[/name_m] with [name_u]Teddy[/name_u] as a nickname for a little one.
I love [name_m]Edmund[/name_m] and it doesn’t make me think of [name_f]Narnia[/name_f].
