Which do you prefer? Full name for Theo would be Theodore on bc etc. but would plan to call him Theo day-to-day.

Theo. (Unless you are somewhere where this would get pronounced fee-oh.)

James.

It's a classic and won't date. Theo is very 'now'.

Theodore/Theo. Goes well with James as a middle name too.

Theo is starting to feel a little dated imo, James is more classic.

See how overly popular James is?! That's why you should pick Theo Grin

Theo is lovely. James is boring.

James. Most people preferring James won't actually have a DS by that name.

James- my sons middle name and I wish I saved it as a first name for my recently born 3rd son!

True. It isn't even on our boy's list.

But I just think Theo is very trendy and will therefore age...
