Theodore Lincoln- too presidential??

Hi

DS has arrived and is still a poor namesless baby! We're loving Theodore Lincoln but does it make us sound a bit obsessed with American Presidents? We're not! It's just coincidence they're both presidential names.

We were thinking of maybe adding a second middle name to 'dilute' the presidential feel, maybe:

Theodore Edward Lincoln
Theodore Oscar Lincoln

What do people think? Any other suggestions welcomed. Thank you!

Thanks for the replies! So would you just go for Theodore Lincoln and not bother with a second middle name? I'm sure we'll get some comments on it.

I like it! As for a second middle name, Theodore Kennedy Lincoln sounds fantastic! Wink
In all seriousness, I don't think it will be a big problem.

It sounds too presidential for me but most people won't know his middle name so I don't think it's a big problem?
