Theo or Eli?

We can’t decide which boy name we like! We have:
[name_u]Theo[/name_u] [name_u]James[/name_u] [name_u]Lawrence[/name_u]
[name_m]Eli[/name_m] [name_m]Richard[/name_m] [name_m]Joseph[/name_m]
Which one do you prefer?

[name_m]Both[/name_m] are great!!! But I would personally choose [name_u]Theo[/name_u] because it’s my favorite of the two first names. Excellent naming!!

[name_m]Eli[/name_m] [name_m]Richard[/name_m] [name_m]Joseph[/name_m]

[name_u]Theo[/name_u] [name_u]Lawrence[/name_u] [name_u]James[/name_u] sounds better.

I personally like [name_m]Eli[/name_m] better, but [name_u]Theo[/name_u] [name_u]Lawrence[/name_u] [name_u]James[/name_u] (or [name_u]Theo[/name_u] [name_u]James[/name_u] [name_u]Lawrence[/name_u] even) has a better flow.

[name_m]Eli[/name_m] all the way for me.

I’m a huge fan of [name_u]Theo[/name_u]

I very much prefer [name_m]Eli[/name_m] over [name_u]Theo[/name_u].

I love [name_m]Eli[/name_m], but I wouldn’t use it as a full name. I can’t imaging a 30 year old [name_m]Eli[/name_m]. Now, [name_u]Elliot[/name_u], [name_m]Elijah[/name_m], [name_u]Elias[/name_u], yes. :slight_smile:

I’ve always been partial to [name_m]Theodore[/name_m] in it’s full form, although in general I prefer the full form of names to give the child options as he grows. My eight-year-old son also prefers the full form of his name [name_m]Theodore[/name_m] to [name_u]Theo[/name_u].

[name_m]Eli[/name_m] for me.

[name_m]Eli[/name_m] [name_m]Richard[/name_m] [name_m]Joseph[/name_m] doesn’t have the best flow, but I prefer [name_m]Eli[/name_m] to [name_u]Theo[/name_u].

[name_m]Eli[/name_m] is so handsome <3

Eli James Richard, maybe? Even Eli Joseph Richard.

Well I love the name [name_m]Eli[/name_m] - if only my OH would agree :frowning: but I also adore the name [name_m]Joseph[/name_m] so I would definitely say [name_m]Eli[/name_m] [name_m]Richard[/name_m] [name_m]Joseph[/name_m] :slight_smile:

I love [name_u]Theo[/name_u], so I have to vote for him. I prefer [name_u]Theo[/name_u] [name_u]Lawrence[/name_u] [name_u]James[/name_u] or just [name_u]Theo[/name_u] [name_u]Lawrence[/name_u] though.

[name_u]Theo[/name_u] [name_u]James[/name_u] [name_u]Lawrence[/name_u]. I actually don’t particularly like [name_m]Eli[/name_m].
