Thea Grace??? Honest Opinions!

Give it to me straight. I’d much rather have honest opinions now rather than my poor daughter being stuck with a bad name later.

What are your thoughts on Thea Grace?

We really love the name Thea! We aren’t sure if we should just go with Thea as a stand alone name or if Theodora nn Thea is better. If we did go with the later we have no intention of ever calling her Theodora. Is it silly to chose a name that is never used? Is Thea a legitimate, respectable stand alone name that will age well? Would she be better served to have the option of Theodora? Is Thea/Theodora a bad choice?

Grace is a sentimental family name so we are pretty set on using it. I know it’s a little blah and a common “filler” middle name, but it has a lot of meaning to our family.

Like I said, I really want your honest thoughts. You won’t hurt my feelings. Thanks so much!!

❤❤❤.Thea Grace. It just rolls off your tongue.
Its gentle and elegant and feminine.

Theodora however is bloody horrible.

Lovely!

I think you should call your child whatever you want to. Don't worry about what other people, go for it!

Ps it is a lovely name though Smile

It's a great name. Thea is definitely a standalone name, timeless and suits all ages. Grace is lovely too.
