I love [name_m]Kent[/name_m]. If I could I’d pick [name_m]Andrew[/name_m] [name_m]Kent[/name_m] or [name_m]Kent[/name_m] [name_m]Theodore[/name_m].

All three names are fantastic. [name_m]Theodore[/name_m] [name_m]Kent[/name_m] would be my choice because I love [name_m]Theodore[/name_m], but I think you should choose whichever name has the most meaning to you.

I love both [name_m]Theodore[/name_m] [name_m]Kent[/name_m] and [name_m]Andrew[/name_m] Keating! I would probably choose [name_m]Theodore[/name_m] [name_m]Kent[/name_m] but they are both very handsome names & combos!

I love both [name_m]Andrew[/name_m] Keating (Keating is so cool!) and [name_m]John[/name_m] [name_u]Spencer[/name_u] “[name_u]Spencer[/name_u]”, but my vote went to [name_u]Spencer[/name_u]. I like him a lot, and love the idea of [name_m]John[/name_m] [name_u]Spencer[/name_u] as a double barrel name!

Good luck!

Wow, those are all wonderful choices with such personal meaning-- it’s almost a shame to choose. I personally like [name_m]Andrew[/name_m] Keating and [name_m]Theodore[/name_m] [name_m]Kent[/name_m]. I’m partial to [name_u]Teddy[/name_u]/[name_m]Theodore[/name_m], but Keating is such a cool and special name. I really don’t think you can go wrong and if you have another child, you may have the opportunity to use your family names again

I have a soft spot for [name_u]Spencer[/name_u] since it’s my boyfriend’s name, so I voted for that.

I think [name_u]Keats[/name_u] would make a cute nn for [name_m]Andrew[/name_m] Keating.

I love [name_m]Theodore[/name_m] [name_m]Kent[/name_m] nn [name_u]Teddy[/name_u]!

I like all the combinations, but am a firm supporter of the ‘name it what you call it’ mindset. As such, to me it doesn’t make much sense to name a boy [name_m]John[/name_m], but proceed to call him [name_u]Spencer[/name_u] for the rest of his life. That kind of defeats the purpose of having [name_m]John[/name_m], as well as [name_m]Andrew[/name_m], as first names. So I’m more inclined to [name_m]Theodore[/name_m] [name_m]Kent[/name_m] for that reason, alongside the fact that I think it’s the best, and also sweetest combination.

I live all of these, but would suggest Keating [name_m]Andrew[/name_m] and [name_u]Spencer[/name_u] [name_m]John[/name_m] if they would go by those names.

[name_m]Theodore[/name_m] [name_m]Kent[/name_m] or [name_m]Andrew[/name_m] Keating!
