Boy names beginning with T

I'm 29 weeks pregnant and my OH and I cannot agree on a name for our baby boy! We had a massive list for girls, but for boys we just can't get on the same page - other than we both are quite drawn to the letter T!

So I thought we had agreed and settled on Theo Edward, nn Teddy (bump has been called teddy even before we knew it was a boy!) but recently OH has mentioned he's not so sure about Theo anymore. I originally wanted Edward, nn Teddy, as the first name, but OH didn't like it as a first name. Edward is after my grandad so it's 100% his middle name no matter what. But obviously we can't use Teddy as his first name if his middle name is Edward!

Thomas/Tom has long been been vetoed along with Timothy/Tim and Troy and we can't use Taylor.

I'm not fussed about whether it's a traditional name, American sounding, a bit out there, I just want something I loved as much as Theo. Anyone got any suggestions??

Tadhg (or Taig if that's an easier spelling)

My DS is Theo, it's an awesome name :)

I like Tony too. Tristan is also a good 'un.

I personally think Theo Edward is lovely - rather than working on finding something else just work on changing your husbands mind :)

Just to say that whatever you choose, if his nickname is already Teddy, it's perfectly okay to keep using that when he's born.

Teddy is the traditional shortening for Theodore

Lilmy3 I think October nn Toby is absolute genius. Blown my mind.

Mrsknackered · 02/07/2017 22:58

I've always quite liked Tanner.

Lilmy3 · 02/07/2017 22:04

SumAndSubstance, I did say there were wildcard suggestions. Some more wildcard than others

KatnissMellark · 02/07/2017 22:04

Edward is lovely. Choose that!

Are you at all Welsh OP? We know a Teilo, which I think is nice, but you'd have to have some Welsh in one of you to justify it, probably.

What about names that don't start with t but have quite a strong t sound somewhere in it?

  • Otis
-Elliott
  • Artie (from Arthur)
-Matteo -Etienne -
NuffSaidSam · 02/07/2017 21:29

Maybe the 'T' is misleading because Theo doesn't begin with a 'T' sound it's 'Th' sound more like 'F' and then it has the 'oh' sound on the end, so maybe....
