You could easily get this name confused with Edward. They would be good names for twins.

I love this name. It's completely adorable for a little boy, and would be dashing on an adult.

I've never met anybody with this name, but all the people I've read about
with this name have been so dashing! And so gallant! Ugh, I love this name!

I hate all names ending in -mund, they sound so old-fashioned and rather pompous on children today anyway. I would think parents who name their son Edmund today are quite pretentious.

Edmund Bertram is the hero of Jane Austen's 'Mansfield Park.' He is a strong and honorable character.

I like it better than most other names beginning with "Ed," mostly since I hate the nickname. But this is an alright name.

This name is adorable and serious at once. I prefer it to Edward, which has been ruined for another generation by a trashy kids vampire series.

Edmund sounds more unique than Edward and less dated than Edwin. I prefer the "M" to the "w" in Edward.

-- Emma McHnery  5/12/2009

I love this name even though I've never met anyone with it. It's a name that I can see any age of person having and I think it sounds better than Edward. Plus it's the name of Blackadder and the name of the kid in the Cronicles of Narnia.
