:canada:- [name_u]Declan[/name_u] … it’s the closest name to my son

Declan - Nice name, it feels very familiar - not tranditional, but trendy for a long time. Not boring or anything, but more expected than your other 3 choices, I suppose. I don’t love the nicknames, sadly, so though it’s handsome it’s probably my least favourite.

Theodore ‘Theo’ - A really charming vintage name, although it’s a bit too popular for my tastes!

Rory - My favourite on the list - friendly, spirited, and fun!

Silas - A nice classic with a lovely sound. Nn Si is quite cool as well.

Located in Greece & the UK!

I love them all. :heart_eyes: They’re so sturdy and beautiful! They all feel so warm and loving. Such excellent names. I’d name my son [name_u]Declan[/name_u], [name_m]Silas[/name_m], or [name_m]Theodore[/name_m] in a heartbeat. (Rory is a little nickname-y sounding for my personal taste, but it’s still so objectively lovely.

I’m located in the western USA!

I’d choose [name_m]Silas[/name_m], then [name_u]Theo[/name_u] or [name_m]Theon[/name_m] as a full name I’m afraid I’m in the minority and don’t like [name_m]Theodore[/name_m]! I’m in [name_u]England[/name_u] :slight_smile:

I chose [name_u]Rory[/name_u] for my son! I had a few of these on our list, too. It was my favorite name from the start, and it worked for the style my husband and I could agree on for boys, which I jokingly call “Celtic cowboy”. [name_u]Rory[/name_u] has a long history of use (which is important to me), but also sounds warm, friendly, and like the boy next door. Maybe a bit mischievous. And our son is all of these things!

We are in the US Midwest.

[name_u]Rory[/name_u] is my favourite (even though I prefer it as a nn for [name_f]Aurora[/name_f] (fem)) and I also like [name_u]Theo[/name_u] (I’m in the UK).

I would choose [name_m]Silas[/name_m] and from :us:. [name_f]Virginia[/name_f] . I’m not too private about the state I’m in :purple_heart::black_heart::white_heart::white_heart:

I’m from the U.K. :uk: And I’d choose [name_u]Rory[/name_u]!

[name_m]Theodore[/name_m] is sadly over-popular here, [name_m]Silas[/name_m] feels very specifically American to me (it’s #91 in the US but #736 here!), and [name_u]Declan[/name_u] feels 90s/00s dated.

[name_u]Rory[/name_u] is soft and rugged at the same time, I imagine a cheeky kid with twinkling eyes, always up for adventure.

I would personally choose [name_m]Theodore[/name_m]. It’s very cute, but also has this strength in it that I love. I adore the nickname [name_u]Theo[/name_u]!
[name_u]Declan[/name_u] comes second, I’ve always loved this one since I was little. I love the sound of it, it is very pleasing to both hear and say.
[name_m]Silas[/name_m] is third, but not by a lot. This one seems soft but tough at the same time, and I think of a cute curly dark haired baby boy. 🫶🏼
With [name_u]Rory[/name_u], it’s the only one on the list I can say I don’t like very much.
I’m located in Australia :australia:

[name_m]Theodore[/name_m]! :us:

I’m not really sure why I like it, I guess it just sounds nice lol. And I love the nn [name_u]Theo[/name_u]! (Maybe because I had an adorable little [name_u]Theo[/name_u] in my nature camp last spring …)

They are all lovely :heart:

However my favourite is [name_m]Theodore[/name_m]! :uk:

[name_m]Theodore[/name_m] is gorgeous such a handsome name he feels cuddly, wholesome and has a range of adorable nicknames. I love the meaning ‘gift of G-d’ and how timeless he is just such a wonderful name.
