I'm from south London. Despite being quite "naice", I'd say "Fear-fore".

I don't know any Theodores that are called by their full name. Most are Theos and a small number are Teds/Teddys.

I'd say Thee - uh - door

Thea-a-dore

People saying they'd pronounce it 'thee-oh-door' doesn't necessarily mean they won't actually be pronouncing it 'fear-door', if the other thread's anything to go by. Grin

People, seemingly, don't actually realise 'th' and 'f' are pronounced differently.

@Stephenson1985
I'm from Kent and I would say it as thee-o-door as would my mum, however my dad says Fear-door
