so....i posted a few days ago about two names we are considering, I'm due in 5 weeks we don't know what were having, we are all sorted for a girls name however, were totally stumped with boy names.

id like to know your thoughts on the ones we like
here are a few we like:

Tristan - my mum doesn't like :( so feel like I shouldn't have it.

Quinn - people on mumsnet said it sounds like quim?

Theodore - a bit too popular now? also a bit of a mouthful

Theon - husband and I like but people have said its a character from game of thrones.

if I like these names, can anybody suggest other's I may like??

Theon was tortured and castrated in Game of Thrones

I quite like Theodore/Theo, but not the others

I suggest:

Laurence
Victor
Hugh
Raphael

Tristan and Theodore (Theo) are great names.

How about going for Theodore, then you can NN him Theon without permanently saddling him with a GoT name, and if there are too many Hmm you can change the NN to Theo.

what about Toby/Tobias?

pictish · 16/04/2016 17:22

Tristan - quite like it.
Quinn - is potentially about to be very popular, if that bothers you. I know two babies called Quinn atm.
Theodore - quite like it.
Theon - yup GoT.

IoraRua · 16/04/2016 17:22

Theon - a character who gets horrifically tortured in game of thrones. It's a nope from me because that's my only association with it.

Theodore is better but not a fan, personally.

Really dislike Quinn, but that's probably because it's a common Irish surname. It would be like naming a baby Walsh or Kavanagh to me.

I love Tristan though!

TimeOfGlass · 16/04/2016 17:16

Love Theodore. I've never met one in real life, so I'd be surprised if it's popular near me.

Re. Tristan - if you love it, don't let your mum put you off.

DarkBlueEyes · 16/04/2016 17:16

Like them all except Theon. It's just odd. I have never watched game of thrones but really, it honks.

NameChange30 · 16/04/2016 17:15

NOT THEON
DON'T DO IT

Theodore is great. Theodosius if you want something a bit more unusal? Tristan and Quinn also fine. Please don't go for Theon. Trust me, if you'd seen Game of Thrones you'd know why.

cheapandcheerful · 16/04/2016 15:43

I like Quinn. I know a 2year-old one.

RaeSkywalker · 16/04/2016 15:42

I like Theodore. Go for Tristan if you like it the most- it's your baby!

JSarah · 16/04/2016 15:37

My favourite is Theodore, but go with Tristan, if you like it!

Iliveinalighthousewiththeghost · 16/04/2016 15:36

Your mum doesn't like Tristan. Well with much respect to your mum. It's none of her business. She had her day choosing names when she had you. She doesn't get to calm the shots on naming her GCs as well. So if you like it use it.

I'm not kean on any of your other names. But it's just different opinions. I like Quinn for a girl, but I think its a bit effeminate for a boy.
