I'm nb and my chosen name is a short form of my middle name. I wonder how he'd feel about that.

You're more "correct" than he is, since "Ted" isn't anywhere in his name!

I thought it was short for Theodward.

Tedward

Drives?

"Ted" is short for "Theodore," not "Edward."

EDIT: I stand corrected.

Oh, okay, I've never known any Edwards who use "Ted." One of those weird things like William -> Bill or Richard -> Dick, I guess.

Just to note, I'm in no way backing Cruz, he's a deplorable waste of space. Fuck em.

[–] samus12345@lemm.ee 4 points 1 day ago

Oh, I know! I appreciate being corrected.

Edward 'Ted' Kennedy was another.

I like to call Theodores "Odor". It's right there in the name!

[–] samus12345@lemm.ee 3 points 1 day ago

There's an H, too, so go for the full "Hodor!"
