If you like Teddy and Theo then why not use Theodore to give both options?

Personally, I prefer Noah or Caleb though

AttilaTheMusical · 20/06/2018 16:12

Caleb or Theo.
Not very keen on the others.

Jj2431 · 20/06/2018 16:07

Ezra followed by Noah

Jammycustard · 20/06/2018 10:32

Edward. Then he can be Ted, Teddy, Ned, Ed, Eddie.

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 20/06/2018 09:34

Caleb or Theo.

deptfordgirl · 20/06/2018 02:03

I love Caleb

SleepWarrior · 20/06/2018 01:14

Jonah
Jude
Elias
Corey
Miles
Woody
Alban
Leo

Agree with your OH. Teddy as nn for Edward.
I also like Ezra from your list.
Or maybe Leo? or Sebastian?

Thank you for the feedback, OH has said the same as a few of you about Teddy needing more of a proper name (Edward) for when he's older.

I am just so stuck, any other suggestions?

I like Ezra the most, but I feel it's a bit faddy

MikeUniformMike · 19/06/2018 12:40

Teddy - too popular
Chase - not keen
Caleb - yes
Theo - too popular. Not keen. Prefer Leo.
Mason - no
Ezra - not keen. Probably quite popular
Noah - yes but it's very popular

Cosmoa · 19/06/2018 11:52

Sorry I meant Ezra!

Cosmoa · 19/06/2018 11:52

Extra and Caleb (name of my beautiful nephew!)

GreatDuckCookery6211 · 19/06/2018 09:24

I only like Theo.
Elijah is better than Ezra imo.

Jasmina456 · 19/06/2018 08:15

Caleb is my favourite - it's not too common.

Jasmina456 · 19/06/2018 08:15

Teddy - fine as a nickname for Edward/Edmund/Theodore. Terrible and cruel by itself - he has to go to secondary school and have a career, you know.
Chase - too American.
Caleb - like it
Theo - like it
Mason - too American
Ezra - meh
Noah - like it

ColinsVeryJolly · 19/06/2018 08:08

Caleb is my favourite.

Not Theo, there are loads of them.

Noah is nice but again there are loads of them.

Jammycustard · 19/06/2018 08:07

Hmmm. Ezra.

Icklepup · 19/06/2018 08:03

I only like Ezra

17caterpillars1mouse · 19/06/2018 07:57

Ezra or Caleb

Sophronia · 18/06/2018 23:07

Caleb or Ezra

Nogodsnomasters · 18/06/2018 22:59

Definitely ezra is the nicest.

RedDwarves · 18/06/2018 22:40

Theodore with Theo or Teddy as a shortening.

letsallhaveanap · 18/06/2018 22:33

I like Ezra, Theo and Noah

RideSallyRide76 · 18/06/2018 22:33

Caleb or Ezra. Please don't call him Chase, he'll have a childhood of "chase using the case"
