Baby name opinions pls! :)

What do you guys think...

Adrian is our number 1 pick. But Theodor (nn Theo) and Andreas keep coming up. Thoughts?

--halo-- · October 2013

I like all three, but Theodore (I'm assuming the forgotten e was a typo?) is my favorite!

Edit: Googled it. I had no idea that Theodor was a legit spelling!

Haha thanks! Yaaa it can be spelled both ways. But good to know if it looks off that way!

All good names. But my vote is for the greek ones: Theodore and Andreas

acethebase · October 2013

I don't know Theodor reminds me of Alvin and the Chipmunks, I would chose Adrian.......

cmar1006 · October 2013

Adrian is nice. Theodore is a favorite of mine. Was our first choice of we were having a boy. Good luck selecting a name!

I love Theodore (with an e), NN Teddy or Theo...but my DH would never go for it.

MangoMama82 · October 2013

Theodor and Andreas are my favorites. Andreas sounds so lovely when you say it out loud, but I love Teddy as a nickname

tmccord21 · October 2013

Theo is my fav

Ajoyd · October 2013

I like the second two choices better.

Adrian

Lilpoppy · October 2013

Thanks for the feedback! We haven't asked/told any of our friends and family yet - this is super helpful. I was afraid Andreas was too strange or something good to know people generally like it

this is going to be a tough decision.

Cool thanks! I am Greek so it would be kinda cool to go with a Greek one.

caseyp10 · October 2013

I like Adrian the best

Lesley0228 · October 2013

I love both Adrian and Theodore (preferred spelling). Unfortunately, my DH has vetoed both for stupid reasons.

Adrian or Theo. I'm not a fan of Andreas personally. I either get reminded of the fault line under California or multiple girls named Andrea.

These were actually our concerns too..and we live in CA re the fault line. I never would have put that together but a baby name book pointed it out.

I love Theo, so cute

cassey910 · October 2013

Love Theo and Adrian! Very cute names!

KerCo51 · October 2013

My favorite is Adrian.

calibr8te · October 2013

@Lilpoppy: You are Greek too? Awesome, and you should totes pick a greek name then!

My baby name pics are deft greek. FI is german/british, but seeing as most of my family is back in the motherland, I insist that they be able to call my baby by its name. Also, fam names are important to me.

cdbayes · October 2013

Adrian is a family name on my mom's side, so I have to go with that

Lilpoppy · October 2013

@calibr8te: awesome did not realize you are Greek! Yiasas

my heritage is also impt to me and all of my relatives on my dad's side live there so we plan on making lots of trips so baby can experience the culture. It would be a big plus for me if his name reflected that as well. The nice thing is that Adrian is actually taken from a family name sort of (grandmothers name was Andriana, so my parents gave my sister the middle name Adrian for some reason) so either way at least there will be some family ties

calibr8te · October 2013

@Lilpoppy: First generation Greek Canadian. My dads side of the fam goes back 200 yrs in the same village. Very very Greek! lol I even started making my own phyllo a couple years ago which was a huge deal to all the women in the family. It's a rite of passage into greek womanhood.

kaswanson · October 2013

I like them all! I do think Theo is a really cute nn, too. Can't go wrong.

Lilpoppy · October 2013

@calibr8te: your own phyllo dough?!! Now that is impressive. Ive made moussaka or galatobouriko but haven't ventured that far. Re the village...love it. I grew up hearing stories from my dad about how he didn't have shoes..and milked a goat for breakfast.

Exactly this.

I love Adrian and Theodore-with-an-E. I think someone named Theodor would have to deal with people adding the E at the end all his life, and explaining it over and over would be annoying for him. I don't hate Andreas, but it's nms.

Ya I agree re adding the E to Theodore. DH for some reason is angling for without, but the E is def a more common spelling and it would prob get annoying. I can convince him tho
