What are peoples opinions on a change of name IF Universal have signed them? I've never been too keen on 'Jedward' and wasn't very happy when they had released under the name. It's obvious from today that a lot people still just see the twins as a novelty act, I know changing their name won't solve this but it could help with the process. I would quite like for them to go back to John & Edward, what does everyone else think? Stick with Jedward or go back? Not actually sure if there is a thread on this as it would be impossible to use the search bar with 'jedward'

I don't care for 'Jedward' really. I was disappointed when they released their single under that name. So voted John and Edward

Ahhh I don't know!! I remember when XF was on and they were "John & Edward" and people calling them "Jedward" really annoyed me, mostly because it cuts off so much of John's name! But when Jedward became their official name I started to warm to it, and now I really don't mind.. I mean they seem to be cool with "Jedward" so it wouldn't bother me if they kept it, but then I wouldn't mind if they reverted back to "John & Edward"

I've gone for 'John & Edward' too. As leeloo said, I was never stuck on the name 'Jedward' either, but I suppose it made sense to release the single under that name as it was what most people knew them as. However, now that they're with a new record label I think that a fresh start image-wise is needed. And what a better place to start than returning to the original and the best - John & Edward

I felt that a lot of the haters called them Jedward in the beginning! I always like to call them by their own group name John and Edward.

i voted for John and Edward, yes its easy for us to chant "JEDWARD, JEDWARD" when we go see them like they have said before themselves :') but i mostly say John and Edward when im talking about them. I wouldnt dare call one of them Jedward to one of their faces though. lmao, Johns face when that chef said to him "im with Jedward" he glared at her a bit and was like "its JOHN." haha, ledgend cooking videos.

I voted John and Edward just cause I've never felt that comfortable with 'Jedward'. It's almost like a term of derision. It's what all their haters call them. Plus, I don't think they ever really liked it, even though they have no choice now but to say they do. I'd like to see them come up with some really interesting monogram with the entwined intials J and E. That would be cool

I think John and Edward..they chose that name and to begin with it seemed as though John wasn't too happy when people called them Jedward lol! He's probably grown to like it now though. I just think Jedward makes them seem abit like a novelty act that people don't take seriously (obviously not their fans just the general public) Hmmm.

I must be one of the few people that really doesn't mind Jedward but I hate when people are speaking to one of the boys and call them Jedward because they do have their own names. Jedward's fine for me for like promotional stuff but when it comes to talking to or about them, I'd rather people said John AND Edward because they are two seperate people.

HAHAHA! "It's John" my favourite John moment!! Exactly that! He wasn't impressed ;D If they had made it up themselves then it wouldn't be as bad, you don't see many bands getting signed then having the label go 'right, we're changing your name now' Also, I tried to add on a 'don't really care' vote but I can't change it now. boohoo

I don't mind 'Jedward' as it's a lot easier to say/type. I always used to call them John and Edward but I've recently started saying Jedward. Like when I've met them I don't go OH HI JEDWARD, I'll call them by their names, but like if I'm talking to my friends about them it's a lot easier to just say Jedward. I don't mind what they get called, John & Edward or Jedward, either is fine with me.

I used to be dead against calling them 'Jedward', now I don't really mind tbh!
And I think that they'll continue to be known as 'Jedward' since thats what Louis was calling them in the Expose interview just yesterday.
