I adore the name Edmund especially since Edmund Bertram is the hero of my favorite author, Jane Austen's novel Mansfield Park. Fanny Price (the heroine) says this of his name which I strongly agree "But there is nobleness in the name of Edmund. It is a name of heroism and renown; of kings, princes, and knights; and seems to breathe the spirit of chivalry and warm affections.”

Anyway I really like it and think it needs another strong handsome name to go with it. For those reasons I wouldn't pair Rowan Anthony, Gabriel, Aneurin or Rainier with it as they are either too popular, or too cute for Edmund's classy style and sophistication.

Edmund Nicholas ~ strong, masculine, princely, love it!
Edmund Alexis ~ very royal sounding but Alexis almost always reminds me of Historic Russian heir Alexis Romanov (Duchess Anastasia's brother) so I picture a weak little boy.
Edmund Llewellyn ~ while both are strong and handsome, Llewellyn somehow seems too musical next to Edmund, a bit too flighty.
Edmund Alan ~ nice strong names though the flow is a bit off.
Edmund Lucian ~ strong and handsome, I like this almost as much as Nicholas. :)
