Hi all! We just found out we’re expecting baby #4 and of course, I’m already stressing over names 
Our other kiddos are Liam Owen, Nolan Reed, and Ivy Joy. Obviously, we don’t know what this babe will be yet.
For a girl, my husband is pretty set on Vera Rose.
Before I got pregnant, and even with our daughter, I thought for sure we’d name a boy Silas. Now that I’m pregnant and my husband is convinced it’s a boy (to be fair, he’s 3/3 on that lol), I don’t know if it’s Silas.
We’re both really loving Theo. I love Theodore as well, but I’m one of those weirdos who would rather just name them what we will call them, but I’m struggling finding a middle name for Theo that works AND that I love.
I’ve been considering:
Theo Wilder
Theo Henry
I also really love:
Theodore Silas
Silas Theodore
Silas Matthew
Any help? Go with Theo and keep looking for a middle? Is Theodore just way too popular and I should go with Silas?
I don’t love overly popular names (Liam jumped up pretty quickly after we chose it). I like classic names, with a trendy sound, if that makes sense. I know I’m all over the place! Thanks for letting me ramble

Absolutely amazing names!! [name_u]Theo[/name_u] [name_u]Henry[/name_u], [name_m]Silas[/name_m] [name_m]Theodore[/name_m], and [name_m]Theodore[/name_m] [name_m]Silas[/name_m] are my three personal favorites. I love each of those with your older three!
I’m a fan or [name_m]Theodore[/name_m] more than [name_u]Theo[/name_u] personally, as then he could choose to go by a different nickname as he grows, should he choose to. But that said, [name_u]Theo[/name_u] had a great ring with your older boys’ names that is so special.

Congrats 
Honestly I found naming my daughter sooooo hard I cannot imagine the struggles when it comes to naming baby #4!!! I’m impressed that you’ve nailed [name_f]Vera[/name_f] [name_f]Rose[/name_f] 
Such a lovely name.
[name_u]Theo[/name_u] is gorgeous I also love [name_m]Theodore[/name_m] but completely see the appeal in just [name_u]Theo[/name_u] and think he works wonderfully as a name in his own right. I actually know a little boy who is just [name_u]Theo[/name_u] suits him brilliantly. [name_m]Silas[/name_m] is also lovely but for me Theo/Theodore sparkles brighter.
I love [name_u]Theo[/name_u] [name_u]Wilder[/name_u] this name also made me think of [name_u]Theo[/name_u] [name_m]Whittaker[/name_m], [name_u]Theo[/name_u] [name_m]Wolfgang[/name_m] and [name_u]Theo[/name_u] [name_u]Wilson[/name_u] all of which I think could be really great ideas.
Some other suggestions…
[name_u]Theo[/name_u] [name_m]Quintin[/name_m]
[name_u]Theo[/name_u] [name_m]Reuben[/name_m]
[name_u]Theo[/name_u] [name_m]Maximilian[/name_m]
[name_u]Theo[/name_u] [name_u]Jameson[/name_u]
[name_u]Theo[/name_u] [name_u]Peregrine[/name_u]
[name_u]Theo[/name_u] [name_u]Beckett[/name_u]
[name_u]Theo[/name_u] [name_m]Oswald[/name_m]
[name_u]Theo[/name_u] [name_m]Atticus[/name_m]
[name_u]Theo[/name_u] [name_m]Isaac[/name_m]
[name_u]Theo[/name_u] [name_m]Harrison[/name_m]
Honestly you could go with [name_m]Theodore[/name_m] [name_m]Silas[/name_m] which would be very classic a lovely idea. I also think it would be a shame not to use your favourite name because of popularity so combining the two together could be a great idea. Names really aren’t as popular as they once were.
Go with the name you love!
Good luck

Thank you! I really appreciate your input 
Thank you! [name_f]Lovely[/name_f] suggestions. I actually thought about [name_u]Theo[/name_u] [name_m]Atticus[/name_m] right before you suggested it.

I’d go with [name_u]Theo[/name_u] [name_m]Silas[/name_m] I think. I love the sound of the two names together and suspect that you’d always regret not using the name [name_m]Silas[/name_m] even if it doesn’t seem like the right first name for this baby.

[name_f]Vera[/name_f] [name_f]Rose[/name_f] is stunning <3
I see your dilemma. I am similar to you in that I appreciate when people go by their names rather than a nickname.
I think you could go with [name_u]Theo[/name_u] if you’d like, but I wouldn’t want you to regret not having a [name_m]Silas[/name_m]. perhaps call [name_u]Baby[/name_u] Boy “Theo” this week, and “Silas” the next, to what you prefer.
I think [name_u]Theo[/name_u] [name_u]Henry[/name_u] is really nice!

Your children have wonderful names and they work so well together!
I think [name_m]Silas[/name_m], [name_u]Theo[/name_u] and [name_m]Theodore[/name_m] are all lovely options. If you like [name_u]Theo[/name_u] on it’s own, I say go for it, it’s a great name in itself. Personally, I love “nicknames names” on their own, like [name_u]Theo[/name_u] and [name_u]Leo[/name_u]. Maybe when you meet your baby, one of these names will just feel right. Your combos are great! [name_f]My[/name_f] favorites are [name_u]Theo[/name_u] [name_u]Henry[/name_u], [name_m]Theodore[/name_m] [name_m]Silas[/name_m] and [name_m]Silas[/name_m] [name_m]Matthew[/name_m].
Regarding what you feel about [name_m]Silas[/name_m], I was in a similar situation. Before I got pregnant, I had been looking at names for quite a while. [name_f]My[/name_f] husband and I already had a strong short list for both boys and girls. [name_m]Mathias[/name_m] was my favorite boy name for months, I was sure we where going to use it if I had a boy. When I got pregnant, suddenly it didn’t felt like “the name” anymore and I went back to another name that used to be my favorite: [name_m]Bastien[/name_m]. Don’t know why, but it felt like the right name for my husband too when the gender was revealed. Our son ended up with that name in the end.

Thank you! I agree, I like both together!
Thank you! I think I will have to truly decide when we know for sure it’s a boy. [name_f]Glad[/name_f] I’m not alone in my naming preferences though!
Thank you! I like that one as well!
Thank you! [name_f]Every[/name_f] time I come across a middle name, I always think, “Theodore just works with everything!” Haha
I love [name_m]Theodore[/name_m] [name_m]Atticus[/name_m] as well! I’ve always been a sucker for [name_m]Atticus[/name_m], though I always tend to fall more traditional when the time comes
