I love both your choices!   I like the length of Theodore and then being able to shorten it to Theo.  

Zimger

I like both but prefer Theo.

Theodore nn Theo gets my vote. I'm a little biased since that's my son's mn.

I love Theo. Jude is fine but NMS. Theo would be on my list if MH liked it at all.

I'll be odd and vote for Jude.  It's a high contender for my (potential) future son.

I like Theo.

I love Jude!

I normally would vote for Jude, but I think you're right.  Theo sounds better with your last name.  Nice choice.

I much prefer Jude, though Theodore is a fine name as well.

I LOVE both names.  But, I don't think Jude sounds good with your last name.  I agree that it runs together.

How about Theophilus for a first name?  It's a biblical name like Jude.  Just throwing it out there.

That's tough I really like them both...  I would wait to see what you think "fits" him more when you meet him ?  We were torn with two names with DS as well but second he was born one just felt right

I'm partial to Jude, so that's my vote. I do like Theo though too.

I like both names but prefer Theodore, and I agree it goes better with your LN.  I don't mind the NN Theo but would definitely use Theodore as a formal name because I like the meaning.

 Also, our last name sounds like 'Akers' and I feel like Jude Akers runs together a bit and sounds like one word (Judeakers). Theodore Akers or Theo Akers sounds better to me.

I agree on the sound. Jude Akers becomes judicurrs (I imagine it like Velma in Scooby-doo yelling jinkies ). But I absolutely love the name Theodore & nn Theo so I admit bias.

I really like both of your choices! He sounds like a pretty cool kid to me already.

I love Jude & Theodore and while Theo is growing on me I prefer Teddy.

My vote goes to Theodore.

I love Jude! It's my# 1 choice for our baby. My husband has a different #1.

We both loved Jude but it REALLY doesn't go with our last name. I think it sounds fine with a 2 syllable last name. I love Theo though too. Sorry, I'm no help. Lol
