Edwin

It has same meaning as EDWARD as rich and happy and guardian...

To me, this name would only fit a nerdy, bookish young man. He lives in the 1900s and spends all his time in the library.

Yes, Edwin is very old fashioned, but I think it can work on a modern day boy.

Absolutely cool. Edwin is a good name it's strong, friendly and handsome. I like it so much. ❤❤.

I don’t like it, it sounds so ugly and hideous.

I prefer this over Edward, it sounds better in my opinion.

This name is so cute!

I like all names, but if someone just came up to me and said what my least favorite name is, I would probably answer with Edwin. Edwin itself is a nice name, but I probably view Edwin that way because my grandma's brother is named Edwin and my grandma said that he stole money from her. No offense to any Edwins out there.

Edwin is not such a bad name as some commentors have made it out to be. I think it could make for a unique twist on the usual candidates of Ed names (e.g. Edward, Edmond, or Edmund). If someone in the crowd likes this name and enjoys the style of it then it might be your cup of tea.

I don't know why, but it sounds so much uglier than Edward. If it's a choice between those two names, definitely choose Edward.

My parents named me Edwin. In Waipahu Elementary School, I learned my name means “rich friend”. As an Edwin, I am 31 years old (April 23, 2018, 11:26 AM). I do wish for peace in my Happy Birthday wishes, all started in my youth at Waipahu, Hawaii to Ewa Beach, Hawaii. Peace means to me, we all need to get along. Being an Edwin, I’m a good person to get along. I think a lot, watch what I do, and I’m smart. “We are winners in my book”. - Edwin Saquing Almazan.

I love it! Sounds nice, isn’t too popular but definitely recognizable.

Ed and Eddie are cute nicknames. And the meaning is also nice.

Not the smartest choice to name a kid Edwin. Here in Chicago, Edwin is uncommon and most people here don't like the name. The name is genderless- Edwin or Edwina (Edna). Edwin also for me isn't the smartest person and are usually... not that good. So I recommend to not use the name Edwin since it sucks and the true meaning is pathetic.

I love the name Edwin simply because it is my grandfather's name, and if I ever have a son I hope to name him Edwin after my grandfather. It also has a unique charm to it. I think this name is 1000x better than Edward.

Would take ages to separate from Edward, although this one is much more unheard of. It sounds slightly Welsh, I think.

For some reason I find this name completely adorable. It has a sort of vintage charm, which is what I love. We are thinking about naming our son Edwin =)

Rich friend, not a bad meaning!

My little brother has a friend named Edwin, I think it's adorable!
