So I love the name [name_m]Theodore[/name_m], but mostly because I picture calling a little boy [name_u]Theo[/name_u]. My husband does not like [name_u]Theo[/name_u], but likes [name_m]Theodore[/name_m]. We cant agree and we cant come up with anything else we like. What do people think? [name_m]How[/name_m] would naming a baby [name_m]Theodore[/name_m] turn out?
Or any other names like that folks might suggest?
I like [name_u]Theo[/name_u] a lot, more than [name_m]Theodore[/name_m], but would insist his full name be [name_m]Theodore[/name_m] for nickname options, especially for the child’s sake and preference, social issues.
[name_m]Ted[/name_m]
[name_u]Teddy[/name_u]
[name_m]Leo[/name_m]
Other names and nn options:
[name_u]August[/name_u]/[name_m]Augustus[/name_m] NN options: [name_m]Austin[/name_m], Guster, [name_u]Gus[/name_u], [name_m]Gust[/name_m]
[name_m]Demetrius[/name_m]/[name_m]Dimitri[/name_m] nn options: Mit, Merit*love this, [name_m]Meteor[/name_m] joking but would use it as a nn at home b/c it’s funny
[name_m]Sebastian[/name_m]: [name_m]Sean[/name_m], [name_m]Ian[/name_m]*love [name_m]Ian[/name_m], [name_m]Stan[/name_m]
[name_m]Nathaniel[/name_m]: [name_m]Nate[/name_m], [name_m]Nathan[/name_m], [name_u]Neil[/name_u], [name_m]Ian[/name_m], [name_m]Daniel[/name_m]
[name_m]Giovanni[/name_m]: [name_m]Ian[/name_m], [name_m]Gio[/name_m],this is so cute and rough and tough for a little boy imo [name_u]Van[/name_u], Vani(vaw-knee) [name_m]Oan/name_m
[name_m]Orlando[/name_m]: [name_m]Land[/name_m], [name_m]Landon[/name_m], [name_m]Lando[/name_m], [name_m]Rand[/name_m], Rando
[name_m]Alexander[/name_m]: [name_u]Alex[/name_u], [name_m]Land[/name_m], [name_m]Landon[/name_m], [name_u]Andy[/name_u], Xane(zane), [name_m]Xander[/name_m], [name_m]Zander[/name_m], Lexan, [name_m]Al[/name_m], [name_m]Alan[/name_m]
If you both like [name_m]Theodore[/name_m], go for it!!! You can call him [name_u]Theo[/name_u] and your husband can call him [name_u]Teddy[/name_u] or [name_m]Leo[/name_m], or who knows, another nickname might pop up too!!! I love the name [name_u]Teddy[/name_u], it’s so cute for a little guy but I also think it ages well.
Or you can call him [name_u]Theo[/name_u] and your husband can call him [name_m]Theodore[/name_m].
I think that works fine.
Good [name_m]Luck[/name_m]!
I think the disagreement about the nn could be a bigger deal than it seems like now in the long run. I would probably not use it.
[name_m]Edward[/name_m] nn [name_m]Ned[/name_m] or [name_m]Ted[/name_m]
[name_m]Thaddeus[/name_m] nn [name_m]Thad[/name_m] Or [name_m]Tad[/name_m] or [name_m]Ted[/name_m]
[name_m]Dalton[/name_m] nn Dalt
[name_u]Dexter[/name_u] nn [name_m]Dex[/name_m]
Dasheill nn [name_u]Dash[/name_u]
[name_m]Leopold[/name_m] nn [name_m]Leo[/name_m]
[name_m]Donovan[/name_m] nn [name_u]Van[/name_u]
