I think we are going to go for Theodore (will probably be Theo day to day though) but obviously have to wait to see him first and see if it suits.

We're both interested in having an unusual middle name for him and need some suggestions. We love nature and DP loves space, last night we were looking at pictures of Nebulas and thought how cool it would be to be named after something so beautiful. Is it a bit too weird though?

Surname is very short so have scope for a longer or short middle name. Hit me with some suggestions!

Theodore Thor has quite a nice sound to it. Written down it looks as though it should sound awkward but when I said it out loud I liked it. I would depend on your surname though, Theodore Thor Thornton would probably be pushing a good thing too far for instance.

Theodore Atlantic sounds like a travel firm Grin

Heath, Fox, Apollo?

Theodore Thor is a bit of a mouthful!

Oooh, I like Rigen.

Thanks so far, will show DP later. He would love Spock! He's been pushing for Thor or Atlantic, don't think he will get the deciding vote! Grin

I want Beacher for my next boy...Grin

Ps it doesn't have to be something to do with space or nature, anything slightly unusual with a good meaning behind it would be nice.

Heath
Bracken
Forrest
Ash
River
Storm
