Names like Theo

[name_f]My[/name_f] hubby and I both love the name [name_u]Theo[/name_u]. Unfortunately I don’t think it goes the best with our last name :frowning: although I still haven’t ruled it out completely, I am searching for another name with similar feel that I’m hoping we can love just as much.
Here are the things we like about [name_u]Theo[/name_u]:
It’s easily pronounced
Familiar without being too popular
We like that it is traditional yet also feels modern
Our last name is two syllables and starts with the letter E (long E sound). Please help us find a name we love for our baby boy!! Thanks!!

I love [name_m]Asher[/name_m] and [name_u]Jude[/name_u] and I have tried so hard to get my hubby to use them but he has vetoed :frowning: I like [name_u]Gus[/name_u] and [name_m]Arthur[/name_m] but not sure I could picture myself actually using them. I also love [name_m]Leo[/name_m], but the flow with our last name is an issue with that name as well. Thanks for all of your great suggestions!!!

[name_m]Gibson[/name_m]
[name_m]Silas[/name_m]
[name_m]Sebastian[/name_m]
[name_m]Archer[/name_m]

[name_m]Miles[/name_m] feels like a [name_u]Theo[/name_u] name to me. Short but sweet.

From the names listed in your signature, I love [name_u]Emmett[/name_u] and [name_m]Griffin[/name_m]!

I like [name_m]Silas[/name_m], but my (very picky) hubby says it’s “too weird” :frowning: which I disagree with. [name_m]Miles[/name_m] I really don’t care for but I can’t place why? I am definitely considering [name_u]Emmett[/name_u] and [name_m]Griffin[/name_m], but they don’t feel as special to me as [name_u]Theo[/name_u]. Thanks for your response!!!

You may like:

[name_m]Colton[/name_m] / [name_m]Clayton[/name_m] / [name_m]Connor[/name_m] / [name_m]Wyatt[/name_m] / [name_m]Graham[/name_m] / [name_m]Grant[/name_m] / [name_u]Cade[/name_u] / [name_u]Chase[/name_u] / [name_m]Hayes[/name_m] / [name_u]Seth[/name_u]

I do like [name_m]Wyatt[/name_m] and [name_m]Grant[/name_m] but I’m not sure they have enough “spunk”, if that makes sense? I like some of your others too but unfortunately they have already been used by family or friends ([name_u]Seth[/name_u], [name_u]Chase[/name_u], [name_u]Cade[/name_u]) Thanks for your ideas!!!

Spunk is hard to define! I think [name_u]Noah[/name_u] is a great name, why don’t you use that?

I totally agree! I think everyone has a different idea of a “spunky” name. I love [name_u]Noah[/name_u], but I guess I’m a little turned off by its popularity, and my husband likes it but not sure he loves it. I really do like [name_u]Evan[/name_u], [name_u]Max[/name_u], and [name_u]Gus[/name_u] from your list, though I think I do prefer [name_u]Gus[/name_u] as a nn for [name_u]August[/name_u]. I will have to ask hubby about those. Thanks!!

A personal favorite of mine is [name_u]Everett[/name_u], which is similar to [name_u]Emmett[/name_u] in your signature. I prefer it with the nickname Rett, which has a similar feel to [name_u]Theo[/name_u]

What about [name_m]Beau[/name_m]? Almost the same sound as [name_u]Theo[/name_u] without the O on the end so it may work better with your last name?

I’m not a big fan of [name_u]Everett[/name_u], but thanks for trying!!

Unfortunately I have a bad association with the name [name_m]Beau[/name_m], and the rest of these are not my style. Thank you for the suggestions!!!

Great list! I like [name_u]Evan[/name_u], [name_u]Finn[/name_u], [name_m]Henry[/name_m], and [name_m]Amos[/name_m]! Thanks!

Lots of great suggestions!! I like [name_m]Henry[/name_m], [name_u]Max[/name_u], [name_m]Adam[/name_m], and [name_u]Charlie[/name_u]! I suggested [name_u]Charlie[/name_u] to my hubby and he didn’t like but maybe I can convince him! Thanks!
