I’m so sorry for your loss! :frowning:

I personally would go for [name_m]Theodore[/name_m] [name_u]Francis[/name_u]. It seems more vintage, but also more classic. [name_m]Frank[/name_m] seems quite dated to me, but I can also see that it’s more spunky, too. I think [name_f]Adeline[/name_f] [name_f]Grace[/name_f] and [name_m]Theodore[/name_m] [name_u]Francis[/name_u] are perfection together–[name_f]Adeline[/name_f] [name_f]Grace[/name_f] and [name_m]Theodore[/name_m] [name_m]Frank[/name_m] almost seem too matchy in syllable-flow–but both are really nice, and I love how meaningful both choices are to you.

Good luck!

[name_m]Theodore[/name_m] [name_u]Francis[/name_u] gets my vote. It’s just too gorgeous to pass up. Although if [name_m]Frank[/name_m] is the name he went by and the one that you feel the strongest connection to, I think you should use [name_m]Theodore[/name_m] [name_m]Frank[/name_m].

I much prefer [name_m]Theodore[/name_m] [name_m]Frank[/name_m]! I find [name_m]Frank[/name_m] spunky, and also like that the word [name_m]Frank[/name_m] means open and honest. I think [name_m]Theodore[/name_m] [name_m]Franklin[/name_m] would be a bit cute too.

[name_m]Theodore[/name_m] [name_u]Francis[/name_u] 100%
I am very sorry for your loss and this is the perfect way to honour his memory. What a gift to your Mum too, I’m sure she will love the sentiment. [name_m]Theodore[/name_m] [name_m]Frank[/name_m] is great too but [name_u]Francis[/name_u] was his given name and that is the name I would choose.
[name_m]Theodore[/name_m] [name_u]Francis[/name_u] just so happens to have a perfect flow -it’s a beautiful name!

Thanks everyone for your helpful thoughts and kind words.

I think that once [name_u]Teddy[/name_u] is born and we see him, we will know his name. I’ll keep you posted as to what we end up choosing.

All I know is that if he possesses half the qualities that my Pa had, he’ll grow to be a kind, gentle man <3

Thank you again :slight_smile:

What about [name_m]Theodore[/name_m] [name_u]Francis[/name_u] [name_u]Jude[/name_u]? I think it flows very nicely, and your two beloved names are “hugging” your beloved grandfather’s…
