[Opinions] Ned
So, Ned is one of my new favorite names. Problem is, I'd rather not use it as a nn for some "Ed-" name. Can anyone think of any other names that could have Ned as a nn? Ideally, the name would contain the letters N, E, and D, though they don't have to be consecutive. The only names I can think of are Benedict (which I don't like all that much), and the biblical name Nedabiah (which is weird). Thanks to anyone who helps.

WinfredAny you like? Some of those just aren't practical, though they meet the requirements. Have you considered Theodore nn Ned? Doesn't fit the rules, but handsome.

I love Manfred. Too bad that I adore Manny as the nn.
At first I was going to dismiss Nekoda, as it reminds me too much of the trendy Dakota, but I thought better about it and...the name intrigues me. Hmm.
Winfred is interesting. If only it didn't sound so much like Winifred.
I think Maynerd is my favorite name from your list. It begins with May, which I think is a pretty sound. I'd have to change the spelling to Maynard, though, for obvious reasons.
Ned doesn't work for me as a nn for Theodore, sorry. I do, however, like Theo.

Only a couple I can think of: Kennedy and Nedavyah (another unusual biblical name - see here: http://www.hebrewbabynames.com/item.cfm?itemid=4597
