Hello Smile my due date is Halloween, so I'd really like him to have a name by then!

Elliot (I hate the other spellings Grin)
Noah (is it okay for an adult?)
Theodore (pronunciation issues)

Funnily enough, I do love them all Grin

No middle name/3 syllable surname...!

Strangely, if anyone ever asked me for an example of a "wet" boys name I'd say Elliot! 😳

I like Noah a lot & I love Theo and Theodore.

Theodore is the best. Not only is it the nicest but it is also very flexible and ages well. Nicknames could include Theo, Ted, Teddy, Ed, Eddy abdDodo

Theo, but popular at the mo.

Noah

Elliot or Theodore. Would you consider a middle name? I don't have one, and it's bothered me all my life, often because I don't like my first name. I've got a three-syllable surname, too.

Elliot! Nice and classic but a bit different, less popular than Theo and Noah. There'll be loads of little Noahs at school and it's one of those names I bet will be way down the list again in a few years' time.

Mustang27 · 07/09/2017 10:33

Elliot for me.

I know a million Noah's love the name though.

Theodore is a chipmunk

JamOrCreamFirst · 07/09/2017 08:58

Elliot as long as surname doesn't start with a T or D.

CakeRattleandRoll · 07/09/2017 08:54

Theodore

MammieBear · 06/09/2017 21:18

Theodore as it gives more options.

RaeSkywalker · 06/09/2017 20:33

Theodore!

Lenl · 06/09/2017 20:26

Elliot

Bamaluz · 06/09/2017 20:22

Elliot

bridgetreilly · 06/09/2017 19:58

I like them all. In order:
Noah
Elliot
Theodore

Chocachoo · 06/09/2017 18:30

Defo Theodore. And I also love Theo or Ted 👍

ScarletSienna · 06/09/2017 18:14

Elliot. Theodore is alright but dislike Noah.

Pemba · 06/09/2017 18:11

Theodore

Sequence · 06/09/2017 17:54

Theodore/Theo is my favourite of the bunch Smile To me, it seems more substantial than Noah and Elliot.

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 06/09/2017 17:46

Theo.

wobblywonderwoman · 06/09/2017 17:39

Theo

euanthesheepiloveyou · 06/09/2017 17:37

Well I know of 4 Noahs & 6 Theo(dores) - all under 5...although I teach in a big secondary school & there's only 1 Theo & no Noahs. So both have gained hugely in popularity in the last few years I think. So I still say Elliot. 🙄

SumAndSubstance · 06/09/2017 17:14

Noah (is it okay for an adult?)
Noah was an old dude with a beard and lots of (adult) children!

tissuesosoft · 06/09/2017 16:41

We decided on DD's name by repeating it 10 times in a row, if it hasn't bugged me it was a winner!

ButterflyOfFreedom · 06/09/2017 16:41

Noah

Dinosaursdontgrowontrees · 06/09/2017 16:40

Elliot. Fabulous.
