Edward

(I am sorry if any of this has been discussed before.)


I just finished New Moon and it got me thinking about the name Edward.  I was looking at the SSA website, and it's interesting how the name has been very slowly moving down the list.  With the popularity of Twilight, will the name start to rise for the first time in 100 years?

Edward is my dad's name.  He is Edward Allan.  It is also my brother's middle name, Robert Edward.

My sister had a baby boy when she was 16.  My dad wanted him to be named Edward, but my sister and I protested, saying that it was a "geeky" name.  Well, we didn't say that to his face, but we did to each other.  My nephew's name is Ty Mason.  I don't regret naming him that, (my sister picked the first name and I picked Mason), but as I look back, it wouldn't have been so bad to name him Edward.  I really like the name now.

So I was thinking that when I have a boy, which wont be for a while, I am going to name him Edward.  I am not sure yet if I want it to be the first name or not.  I really like the combo Liam Edward, but who knows if I will still like Liam years from now.  I also like Edward Sebastian, but again, who knows.

What are your favorite middle names for Edward?
