I like [name]Theodore[/name] better and I also think it fits better with the sibset. I’m just not a huge fan of the name [name]Edward[/name]. It’s ok, but I’ve never really like it that much.

3

I tend to like [name]Edward[/name] more than [name]Theodore[/name]. [name]Theodore[/name] seems a little clunkier and stuffier than [name]Edward[/name]. [name]Edward[/name] rolls off my tongue better too. The only thing I like about [name]Theodore[/name] better is the potential of the nickname [name]Theo[/name]. I don’t like the nickname [name]Ed[/name] at all. But if no nicknames are involved, [name]Edward[/name] gmv.

I like the combination [name]Edward[/name] [name]Christopher[/name] a lot!
But I prefer the name [name]Theodore[/name], mainly because I like [name]Theo[/name]/[name]Tad[/name] a ton better than [name]Ed[/name]/[name]Eddie[/name] (bleh!)

5

I like them both but know so many little Edwards I think [name]Theo[/name] will be fresher.

6

I like both, but slightly prefer [name]Edward[/name].

I prefer [name]Theodore[/name] as well, but especially with a sister named [name]Rosalie[/name]. [name]Rosalie[/name] was [name]Edward[/name]'s adopted sister in Twilight, so I wouldn’t use [name]Edward[/name] in the sibset unless you’re a fan of the books. (Or are at least prepared for people asking about the connection.)

8

[name]Theodore[/name] is much better. [name]Edward[/name] is too popular due to Twilight.
All the sibset names you listed go well together.

I like [name]Edward[/name]. Its a nice solid name. But I love [name]Theodore[/name], which is the name of one of my brother’s. I also like [name]Theo[/name] more than [name]Eddie[/name], and then there’s [name]Teddy[/name].

[name]Edward[/name]! It seems a lot more enduring and classic to me (and, in that sense, is a better match with [name]Samuel[/name]). I also prefer [name]Ned[/name] (or even [name]Ed[/name]) as a nn to [name]Theo[/name], though obviously [name]Ted[/name]/[name]Teddy[/name] works either way. I love [name]Theodore[/name] too, but it just seems a little trendy right now.
