Theodore

in Baby Names

I suddenly LOVE the name Theodore, which is great because MH and I rarely agree on boy names (he loves Roman. I'm kind of "eh" about Roman). 

 WDYT? Any of you have a Theodore? I like Theo as a nn. Teddy is cute, but I'd probably call him Theo before Teddy. 

It would be Theodore Jennings (Jennings after my grandfather).

    Love Theodore. And I think the combo of Theodore Jennings is adorable! (Personally I prefer Teddy over Theo as a nn, but either works fine.)

    I adore Theodore! I really, really, REALLY dislike Theo (I think because of the Cosby show) but I love Teddy (because of Little Women).

     

    Good choice!

    Really nice name!  I prefer - only slightly - Teddy to Theo, but whichever you select, you're working w/ a great name!

    Love it! Teddy is great for a little boy NN, but Theo is better for a teen/adult.

    I'm a little biased since it's my LOs name but I love it! DH and I suddenly fell in love with the name when I was in my first trimester and it stuck. We call him Theo mostly and usually introduce him as that. It's an easy to understand name but still unusual.

    This is one of our top choices. Personally, I prefer plain Ted as a nn, but all are fine.

    I have a Theodore! We call him Teddy, but I also love Theo as a nn. His full name is Theodore James, and I get a lot of compliments on it. I love that it's not a very common name but is one everyone knows. I love your middle name choice, btw.
