Too old fashioned?
So i'm wondering if there are some names that are too old fashioned?
I really want to name our next son after my grandfather....his name was Edwin.
I would like to put it as a second name because too me I just can't stand the nickname 'ed' and also I just can't quite see how the name would go because i have never ever heard of anyone being called that before....
DH however really likes it as a first name.
Our first son's name is William, and my husband is John. Both are traditional names ~ so in our home it doesn't seem out of place but i'm just not sure overall whether I like it as a first name or not.
What do you think of it?
FWIW my grandfather got nicknamed Jim.

I think it's an awesome name! and even better to keep it in the family and name him after your grandfather!

Yes my son is named after his dad & grandad (they all have the same three names swapped around) & the rest of the names we like for boys and girls include as many family names as possible but with their own spin....i.e my mum is 'Leanne', I am 'Kirsty-Lea' and so another girls name we have picked out is 'Kaeleigh'....keeping the theme running. so it's still individual but with a bit of tradition. I think tradition is special.
Thanks btw ;)

I love that name :) I don't think it's too old fashioned either, I know a 5 year old boy named Edwin (he gets called Eddy and I reckon it's cute :))

Not overly fond of it TBH. I think its too close to William.
