I'd only advocate the Eduard spelling if it's a family name or part of your heritage, etc. Otherwise, it's just confusing. He'll always have to say 'It's Edward, with a U instead of a W.' Maybe because Edward is such a well-known name, and 'everyone' knows how to spell it. I don't care for Ed or Eddie, either, but I love Ned, Ted, and Teddy. Speaking of Ed- names, I prefer Edmund to Edward, but both are nice.
