Edowādo

While 'Ed' is a common English diminutive, a Japanese person might avoid shortening エドワード to just 'Edo' because 'Edo' is the historical name for the city of Tokyo.
In some Japanese manga, characters named エドワード are given an 'English' persona that includes stereotypes of British nobility, regardless of the character's actual origin.
In certain highly specialized Japanese subcultures, such as certain eras of 'Gothic Lolita' fashion, names like エドワード are often used as motifs to evoke a sense of Victorian-era Europe.
