First or Middle Name for Theodore

edited November 2014 in Baby Names
If this little bean is a boy, Theodore will definitely be a part of the name, and we will likely call him Theo regardless of if it is his first or middle name. We have lots of ideas but have problems spotting issues or narrowing them down! Feel free to throw in suggestions wherever you would like.

Last name is three syllables, starts with "Buck."

    Theodore Ezra is H's vote as well. I like it a lot, and I definitely prefer Theodore as the first name since we plan on using a NN while he is young.

    I voted for Theodore Jude, because they are both names that I love, and my DH vetoed. If you plan on calling him Theo, make it the FN.

    I seriously love Theodore Ezra. It's very... Dashing. But, I really do like all your options. I agree that if you plan to call a boy Theo, using Theodore up front just makes more sense.

     I don't love Theodore Alexander as it's a bit of a mouthful.

    I think with a longer fn and ln, a short mn like Jude is best. And if you want to call him Theo, I would use it as a fn.

    I voted Theodore Alexander. I'm not sure I love it though. I feel strongly that if you plan to call him Theo, use Theodore as his fn. I dislike when people go by their mn.

    I like Theodore Ezra, cool combo.

    We're considering Michael for our son which could be cute for you too.

    Theodore Michael

    Theodore William

    Theodore Charles

    Agree with PP; it is so confusing to go by a MN. Just make it his first name and go from there.

    I voted Theodore Jude but Theodore Ezra is also lovely.  I love Theo as a NN and definitely think Theodore should be the first name.

    So many great options, I was torn between Zachary Theodore and Theodore Alexander. I love the nn Theo.

    with Theodore Jude you could call him TJ. (one of our name choices for a boy is Theodore Jasper with the nn TJ)
    that being said, I voted for Theodore Ezra

    I definitely agree that Theodore Alexander is a long one, especially with our last name! Alexander is a family name for me so I was hoping it could work but it just does not.

    I definitely think the consensus is Theodore as a first name, too. I think Theodore Ezra is definitely our top pick.

    Theodore Jude, followed by Theodore Ezra.

    We are just about the same number of weeks along and will most likely use Theodore David (DH's name as MN) if it is a boy.
