DC2 is due in the summer. If it's a girl, we will call her Thea. It's my all time favourite name, I love it and have always wanted to have a daughter with that name. I wanted it for DD1 but DH wasn't very keen. We called her something else.
But he's relented now (after it was pointed out to him that I had a 3 day labour ending in emcs, and that probably gave me the casting vote!!) and agreed that if DC2 is a girl, she will be Thea.
The discussion we are having is, although she would be known as Thea, should she have a longer version as her actual name? I would be perfectly happy just to call her Thea, which seems the simplest way, but DH would rather she had a longer name. So either Theodora or Dorothea. My choice of the 2 would be Theodora, mostly because she would still have the same first initial to save possible confusion.
If it makes a difference, the middle name is likely to be May (my Grandma's name) and our surname starts with B and has 2 syllables.
Any thoughts? thanks!
