Why is Edward Kennedy calles Ted Kennedy?
On February 22, 1932, the Kennedys were blessed with a fourth son, Edward Moore Kennedy, known as "Ted" (or "Teddy") in memory of Rose's Da-da Teddy. Joseph Kennedy, the father of Edward (Teddy), JFK, RFK, et al, could only agree to use Rose's maiden name, Fitzgerald, but never Edward, as he despised Rose's grandfather. However, after young Robert was born, he promised Rose that, if they were to have another son, he would allow her to name him Edward, after her beloved grandfather. When young Edward Kennedy was born, being the fourth of five boys, he was considered the "favorite" son, as most fourth sons are. Edward was thought to be a name of derision, but Rose, his mother, could not avoid using it as it was her paternal grandfather's given name. Da-da Teddy, as she called him, was most successful, both as a family man and in business. Rose Fitzgerald was the apple of her grandfather's eye.
