Help[Opinions] Re: Ned
in reply to a message by Hannah Ruth
I asked this question a while back and got some names:
Benedict
Maynard
Leonard
Bernard
Renard / Reynard
Ferdinand
Nekoda
Nandwin - It's a user-submitted name.
You could also look up surnames that could have Ned as a nn.

I prefer
any of these over Nestor. I think Nestor would easily replace Chester as the molestor.
I like Benedict best of these names. Or Ferdinand, though I don't see how Ned is derived from Ferdinand.

Ned comes from Ferdinand because Ferdinand contains the letters N and D. I don't worry excessively about the E because vowels in English nns aren't necessarily correlated with the name. For example, Jim and Jem are nns for James, Jenny originated as a nn for Jane, Midge is a nn for Margaret, Millie can be a nn for Amelia, etc.
Ned from Ferdinand is a bit of a stretch, but as I've discovered, finding formal names for which Ned can be a nn is extremely difficult. Sometimes you have to take what you can get.
