What a nicely named family! I voted for [name_m]Theodore[/name_m] [name_m]Conrad[/name_m], but I like all of your options. Congrats!

[name_m]Theodore[/name_m] [name_u]James[/name_u] is so nice with other kids:)

[name_m]Theodore[/name_m] has the same last syllable as [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f]… that is why I vote for [name_m]Edward[/name_m].
[name_m]Theodore[/name_m] is a wonderful name, and one of my favorites.

I voted for [name_m]Theodore[/name_m] [name_m]Jasper[/name_m], which I love with [name_f]Beatrice[/name_f] [name_f]Pearl[/name_f]! [name_m]Jasper[/name_m] and [name_f]Pearl[/name_f] are a nice way to tie their names together.

[name_m]Theodore[/name_m] [name_u]James[/name_u], without a doubt. I love the strong, masculine image it brings to mind and it goes very well with your other names. :slight_smile:

I voted for [name_m]Theodore[/name_m] [name_u]James[/name_u]!

You know, I voted for [name_m]Theodore[/name_m] [name_m]Conrad[/name_m], but when I read what a PP said about [name_m]Jasper[/name_m] and [name_f]Pearl[/name_f] together, I changed my mind. It does really tie the names together. So, [name_m]Theodore[/name_m] [name_m]Jasper[/name_m].

[name_m]Theodore[/name_m] [name_u]James[/name_u] seems like a perfect fit. Congratulations!

Thank you everyone!

I love [name_m]Theodore[/name_m] [name_m]Conrad[/name_m] and [name_m]Theodore[/name_m] [name_m]Jasper[/name_m] (not just because I was the one who suggested them)

[name_m]Edward[/name_m] [name_m]Ulysses[/name_m] is also very handsome

But [name_m]Theodore[/name_m] [name_m]Jasper[/name_m] wins for me because of the connection with [name_f]Beatrice[/name_f] [name_f]Pearl[/name_f]- that is just to cool to pass up

I love [name_m]Theodore[/name_m] [name_m]Jasper[/name_m] and the connection with [name_f]Beatrice[/name_f] [name_f]Pearl[/name_f].

I immediately picked up on the similar ending of [name_m]Theodore[/name_m] and [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] - which to me are too close, but if you’re happy with that then [name_m]Theodore[/name_m] is an excellent name.
I chose [name_m]Edward[/name_m] because of it though.

My favorites are [name_m]Theodore[/name_m] [name_m]Jasper[/name_m] and [name_m]Theodore[/name_m] [name_m]Conrad[/name_m].

I initially voted for [name_m]Theodore[/name_m] [name_u]Francis[/name_u], but upon seeing that you already have a daughter named [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f], I think [name_m]Edward[/name_m] [name_u]Francis[/name_u] might be better. Two three-syllable “ore” endings might be too much for one sibset, but they’re both lovely names in their own right!

It’s not a huge issue, just something that struck me. If your [name_m]Theodore[/name_m] goes by [name_u]Theo[/name_u] or [name_u]Teddy[/name_u], then it’s a bit of a non-issue.

Congrats and good luck! You obviously have excellent naming taste :smiley:

I voted for [name_m]Edward[/name_m] [name_m]Thomas[/name_m] just because I think it fits better with your childrens’ names. I also think [name_m]Edward[/name_m] and [name_f]Beatrice[/name_f] sounds nicer than [name_m]Theodore[/name_m] and [name_f]Beatrice[/name_f].

I voted for [name_m]Theodore[/name_m] [name_u]James[/name_u]. I like that it has the same flow of syllables as [name_f]Beatrice[/name_f] [name_f]Pearl[/name_f]. I also like that it doesn’t repeat any initials like [name_m]Edward[/name_m]/[name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] does. You can also get [name_m]Henry[/name_m] and [name_u]Teddy[/name_u] for your boys, which is adorable. [name_m]Henry[/name_m] [name_u]August[/name_u], [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] [name_f]Louise[/name_f], [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] [name_f]Grace[/name_f], and [name_f]Beatrice[/name_f] [name_f]Pearl[/name_f] are all perfect what lovely taste you have.

[name_m]Edward[/name_m] and [name_f]Beatrice[/name_f] also makes me think of [name_m]Edward[/name_m] and [name_f]Bella[/name_f], just food for thought.

I voted [name_m]Theodore[/name_m] [name_u]Francis[/name_u], because I love it’s old-fashioned charm :slight_smile: [name_f]Beatrice[/name_f] [name_f]Pearl[/name_f] I just [name_f]ADORE[/name_f]. You have an amazing naming style <3

Thank you everyone!

We are leaning definitely towards [name_m]Theodore[/name_m]. [name_m]Theodore[/name_m] and [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] having a similar ending doesn’t bother us. We plan on calling [name_m]Theodore[/name_m] either [name_u]Theo[/name_u] or [name_u]Teddy[/name_u].

I voted for [name_m]Edward[/name_m] [name_m]Ulysses[/name_m] because of the repetition between [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] and [name_m]Theodore[/name_m]. I know [name_m]Henry[/name_m]'s middle name of [name_u]August[/name_u] is on fleek with the trends, but it is much bolder than [name_u]James[/name_u] or [name_m]Thomas[/name_m], so I chose the dashing [name_m]Ulysses[/name_m].

Other gem names to link w/ [name_f]Pearl[/name_f], but avoiding the very Twilight-y [name_m]Edward[/name_m] [name_m]Jasper[/name_m]:
[name_f]Opal[/name_f] - historically used by males
[name_u]Onyx[/name_u]
[name_f]Topaz[/name_f]
[name_f]Peridot[/name_f]
[name_f]Garnet[/name_f]
[name_u]Slate[/name_u]
[name_m]Shale[/name_m]
[name_u]Cobalt[/name_u]*
[name_u]Mercury[/name_u]
[name_m]Flint[/name_m]*
[name_u]Micah[/name_u]
[name_u]Silver[/name_u]
