I'm also curious about this.

I guess you are OK with Teddy Kennedy spelling his name? Explain to us how you get Edward from Ted?

Quote:
The boy's name Ted \ted\ is pronounced ted. It is of English origin. Short form of Theodore (Greek) "God's gift" or Edward (Old English) "wealth protector".
So Teddy Kennedy, or Edward Kennedy, or whatever his name really is is "gods gift" and the "wealth protector"? I especially like the irony of that last one, don't you?
