Re: Edwin
in reply to a message by Billina
There's nothing at all wrong with it, but it seems more pretentious, somehow, than Edward (which I like, and which has a similar vibe for me to George: sturdy and cuddly). Edwin feels... fancier. Posher. No idea why it feels that way; possibly because it's much rarer here? My dad had a great-uncle Edwin, and he wasn't fancy at all. But I recall finding out that a pal always known as Ed was actually an Edwin, rather than an Edward, and suddenly getting a quite different impression of him.
