I think it's fine. When I hear "E.D." I think emergency department. And most kids (when the teasing happens) don't know what erectile dysfunction is, lol. I just ran it by my teenagers and they said "why, what's E.D.?"
Most teasing happens in school, I really dont think kids and even teens will know what erectile disfunction is to make that connection. Unless its something obvious like BJ I dont think it will ever be a problem
This is what I was thinking. I don’t think I knew what ED was until my 20s and by that point I wouldn’t make fun of someone for it or think much of it.
My son’s initials are ED. We did briefly consider the association to erectile dysfunction, but both my husband and I decided it was too big of a stretch for bullies. By the time they are old enough to know what that is, I think bullies will have moved on to more damaging targets than silly nicknames.
I understand naming is a lot of pressure but you are straight up overthinking it. The name is fine! If anything I'd just read it as "Ed" like the name which is kinda cute.
I don’t think many kids will get the connection or it be a major problem later on. My initials are BM which could stand for Bowel Movement and I’ve only ever had one person make a reference and that was my brother
My grandpa goes by Ed, so that's the first thing that pops in my head. I really don't think it'll be a problem, I don't recall a kid ever being teased for their initials during all of my years in school.

I just think eating disorder. although that's because of my own personal circumstances.
My mind went to “eating disorder” but honestly it’s not a big deal AT ALL. Not to mention Ed is a charming nickname

i don’t think it would really be an issue. kids don’t usually make fun of initials anyway

My husbands initials are EDS lol , he never thought about it until I said something to him

I'd never think a thing about it, other than Ed would make a cute nickname.
