I hear Theo so often these days - there are 2 in my dd's nursery group of 12... so it depends if you're bothered by that.

Theo Barry?

Not sure if that sounds that good together, if I'm honest...

I think a stronger 2 syllable name would work better, for example

Thomas Berry
Alex Berry

I too have a Theodore. I love it. He's called Teddy or Ted or Tedlington Brush (for some strange reason). Part of reason I like Theodore is because there are few options with the name.

James is a great name too. I'd save that one in case you have another boy.

I love Theo.I generally don't like nicknames but I love this. It's even better than the full version.
