I don't associate it with Twilight that much. It's a very old and classic name with hundreds of famous namesakes, almost all of them better than Cullen! Maybe right now some people think of that, but in 10 years time when he's at school it will be less of a common association (one hopes!).

I know a few younger boys called Edward and I think it's very handsome. However, I don't like any of the nicknames. Ed sounds too grown up for a child, Ned makes me think of a house, and or Ned Flanders, Ted is ok but I feel it works better for Theodore.

For me, the Ned Flanders association is much stronger than Edward Cullen because Ned is less common and had fewer famous users
