Porter, Theodore or Walter

Boy Names

Help!

We are keeping our name choices top secret from family and friends, but I could really use some outside perspective.

If we have a boy the middle name will be [name_m]Paul[/name_m] (after maternal & paternal grandfathers).

Which name do you like best?

[name_u]Porter[/name_u] [name_m]Paul[/name_m]
[name_m]Theodore[/name_m] [name_m]Paul[/name_m]
[name_m]Walter[/name_m] [name_m]Paul[/name_m]
[name_m]Forest[/name_m] [name_m]Paul[/name_m]

My husband and I like nicknames (we have short, non-nickname names)

We would go with something like these…

[name_m]Port[/name_m]
[name_u]Teddy[/name_u] or [name_u]Taj[/name_u]
[name_m]Walt[/name_m]
*we don’t have a nickname for [name_m]Forest[/name_m]

If you have a second, please let us know what you think. This baby will be here soon and we are completely on the fence.

Thanks!
[name_f]Tara[/name_f]

[name_m]Forest[/name_m] [name_m]Paul[/name_m] is my first choice, followed second by [name_m]Walter[/name_m] [name_m]Paul[/name_m].

3

I like [name_m]Theodore[/name_m] [name_m]Paul[/name_m] and [name_m]Forrest[/name_m] [name_m]Paul[/name_m] -

A nn for [name_m]Forrest[/name_m] I have heard is Forrie

4

[name_m]Theodore[/name_m] [name_m]Paul[/name_m] wins my heart. I also like [name_m]Walter[/name_m] [name_m]Paul[/name_m].

5

I’ve got a neighbor named [name_m]Forrest[/name_m], and he is a Forrie, so I second that.

6

[name_m]Theodore[/name_m] [name_m]Paul[/name_m] is my favorite though I prefer the nn [name_u]Theo[/name_u].

7

[name_m]Theodore[/name_m] [name_m]Paul[/name_m] is my favorite also, but not with the nickname [name_u]Teddy[/name_u]. [name_u]Theo[/name_u] is to die for cute. [name_m]Walter[/name_m] nn [name_m]Walt[/name_m] is just as adorable. Excellent choices.

8

I love [name_m]Theodore[/name_m] nn [name_u]Theo[/name_u], though [name_u]Teddy[/name_u]'s pretty cute (just nms). Of the four, [name_m]Theodore[/name_m] [name_m]Paul[/name_m] has the best flow by far.

9

[name_f]Love[/name_f] [name_m]Forest[/name_m]! And [name_m]Fort[/name_m] seems like a fun nn.

10

1 [name_m]Theodore[/name_m] [name_m]Paul[/name_m] - majestic and classic!
2 [name_m]Walter[/name_m] [name_m]Paul[/name_m] - Vintage and traditional mix
3 [name_m]Forest[/name_m] [name_m]Paul[/name_m] - sounds like a forest named [name_m]Paul[/name_m]!

The only combo I don’t like is [name_u]Porter[/name_u] [name_m]Paul[/name_m] which sounds cartoonish.

11

[name_m]Theodore[/name_m] [name_m]Paul[/name_m] is the only one I really love. And great nn’s too.

[name_m]Forrest[/name_m] [name_m]Paul[/name_m] is okay, maybe nn Fet or Ret?

12

My favorite is definitely [name_m]Theodore[/name_m] [name_m]Paul[/name_m] nn [name_u]Theo[/name_u]. So classic and handsome. I also like [name_m]Walter[/name_m] [name_m]Paul[/name_m] nn [name_m]Walt[/name_m]. The names [name_m]Forest[/name_m] and [name_u]Porter[/name_u] are not really my style.

13

[name_m]Theodore[/name_m] [name_m]Paul[/name_m], [name_m]Forest[/name_m] [name_m]Paul[/name_m], [name_m]Walter[/name_m] [name_m]Paul[/name_m], porter [name_m]Paul[/name_m]

14

[name_m]Walter[/name_m] [name_m]Paul[/name_m] would be my pick, it comes with the cute nicknames of “Wat, [name_u]Whit[/name_u] and [name_m]Walt[/name_m]”

15

[name_f]LOVE[/name_f] [name_m]Theodore[/name_m] [name_m]Paul[/name_m]! Choosing [name_m]Theodore[/name_m] leaves you and your son open to variations on [name_m]Theodore[/name_m] so he can go by [name_m]Ted[/name_m] or [name_u]Teddy[/name_u] or [name_u]Theo[/name_u] or [name_m]Theodore[/name_m] later in life if he so chooses.

16

I think [name_m]Walter[/name_m] [name_m]Paul[/name_m] works best together, however my favourite first name is definitely [name_u]Porter[/name_u]. [name_m]Port[/name_m] as a nn is quite cute, however I [name_f]LOVE[/name_f] the nn for [name_m]Theodore[/name_m] - [name_u]Teddy[/name_u] or [name_u]Taj[/name_u].

17

I love [name_u]Porter[/name_u] [name_m]Paul[/name_m]! I think [name_u]Porter[/name_u] is cute for a little guy but distinguished for an adult.

18

[name_m]Forest[/name_m] [name_m]Paul[/name_m] goes together the best, but [name_u]Porter[/name_u] is my hands down favorite!!

19

I love the name [name_u]Porter[/name_u] :slight_smile: We can’t use it due to someone we know having that as a last name…go with [name_u]Porter[/name_u]…so cute!

[name_m]Theodore[/name_m] [name_m]Paul[/name_m] is gorgeous and so is [name_u]Teddy[/name_u]
