Baby names

Thoughts on Theodora...

I really like Thea as a girls name but dh wants a longer version as the proper name, although the baby would still be known as Thea. I worry that Theodora might be a bit too much.

And what about middle names? We are in wales and I was thinking of maybe Elin or Seren, although dh isn't keen. He likes Rose as an alternative.

All opinions welcome!!

I like Theadora (my phone autocorrected to 'the adorable')

How about Theadora Haf? Nice single syllable Welsh name :-)

Absolutely love it. Was my top choice for DD. We went for something v similar in the end. Thea is a lovely NN as is Dora.
