Definitely, [name_m]Theodore[/name_m].
I can tell you now that [name_m]Theodore[/name_m] will be the runaway favourite - it’s one of those names that most Berries seem to love. I like it a lot, and voted for it, and if I were to name a child one it’d be definitely be that, though it’s very trendy (theoretically at any rate!).
I find [name_m]Lawson[/name_m] very handsome, although surname names aren’t really my thing. Both [name_m]Prescott[/name_m] and Keating could work well, it’s just - well, as I said in the last sentence, they’re not really my thing! But I appreciate their potential.
Thanks for your votes! [name_f]Do[/name_f] you think [name_m]Theodore[/name_m] is getting too popular now?
[name_u]Love[/name_u] [name_m]Theodore[/name_m]. Nicknames are plentiful as well. [name_m]Lawson[/name_m] is my second choice.
[name_m]Theodore[/name_m] is growing in popularity lately, but it is following the 100ish year cycle of fashionable names. It peaked around the 1900s, dropped a bit in use, and has starting seeing use again in the last few years. In 2015 it ranked 99 in the US nationwide. Your own state may differ, and I strongly suggest checking out records for your state at the SSA website. Popular names are less prevalent now than ever. [name_m]Theodore[/name_m] may be even less popular in your state. You can check how many [name_m]Theodore[/name_m]'s were born where you live and compare with total number of births to get an idea of the % of boys were named [name_m]Theodore[/name_m]. It might surprise you.
Like any name that finds cyclical popularity, it will go through a phase of being a young name, middle aged, and old name. However, with its history, it seems to be a name that will continue to come back into fashion. It definitely does not suffer from the popularity or trendiness that a name that came out of no where only to quickly sky rocket and quickly fall will have.
