Edward?

olivia_eve

Do you immediately think Twilight when you hear Edward?  Bella had a huge jump from 2008 to 2009, but Edward did not, which makes me think it won't be super popular simply because of Twilight.

But I don't want people to think "sparkly vampire" when they hear the name.  I've never even read the books!

I don't at all. But I've never read or seen Twilight. I love the name Edward, very classic.

Edward Thomas is my boy name.  It is also DH's name.  So no it doesn't make me automatically think of Twilight.  I do think of Twilight when I say DH and my Furbaby's name (Bella).  Not done purposely though.

How funny, Thomas is another name high up on our list!  Love the name

I really love Edward! I think it's a great name. I do think of Twilight...but when your LO grows up Twilight is bound to be out of style. I'd hope.

I personally love the name Edward.  It's a great, strong name and one of my top 5 (although DH isn't a fan)

I immediately thought of Twilight, but I don't think Twilight should stop you from using it. Edward is a classic. Go for it!

I sure hope not, I have never seen Twilight either but Edward is my Grandpa's, Dad's, and Oldest Brother's (who is determined to stay a bachelor) middle name so I want to carry on the tradition for him if I have a boy.

Not at all - Edward is a strong, classic name. It's on the top of our boys list because it's a family name.

In 5 years, no one will remember that Twilight crap.  And most people over age 30 don't care about it now.

I like it, but can't use it.  I am a Twilight fan and DH has absolutely banned pretty much any name even mentioned in the series.

Agreed

LOVE Edward!  And no, didn't think of the books, and doubt anyone will in several years, either.

lurkeyloo

It's a great name, and not one that is really exclusive to the series. If you were asking about Cullen I would say it definitely makes me think of Twilight. Go for it!

LuciaLucentum

Nope, no vampire thoughts for me. I'm hoping that by the time a little Edward born now is going to school, that Twilight will be a mere memory

I, obviously, love Edward! I've never read Twilight...but had the same concern before naming DS2. Not 1 person has asked if his name came from the series.

Edward will never get outdated IMO. I don't think of Twilight at all, it stands alone.

Seeing as how I'm not 14---no, I don't immediately think of Twilight. I think Edward is a strong, regal name, and a great choice for a son.

Nanna

I don't, and I'm actually enjoyed reading the Twilight series.  Edward is a great, classic name that completely transcends a current fad.

Edward is very classic, so no I don't associate it with Twilight. It was also my grandfather's name, and I hope to use it as a mn (dh vetoed it for a first name).

I love the Twilight books and movies.  That being said I do not think of them when I hear the name Edward.
