Help!

I cannot decide, middle name will be Cooper (my Grandparents surname).

Or any other suggestions?!

Thanks MN.

Neither. Theodore is waay too popular and Elijah sounds and looks so soft and strangely spelled.

Cooper is great!

Theodore!

I love biblical names so I vote Elijah. Theodore always sounds a bit pompous to me.

Both are lovely so you can’t go wrong.
I have a Theodore so I am slightly biased towards that name. It means gift from God.

Love love Elijah
Theodore is nice but there are so many Theodore's, Theo’s around

Out of the 2, Theodore, nn Teddy.

Or have Cooper as the first name?

Of the two, Theodore, but only because I'm not keen on Elijah, it's too religious for me.

I don't like either sorry, but Theodore is better than Elijah.

Am biased because I have an Elijah. He is my youngest and not everyone liked it at the start but he has definitely grown into it. He would prefer to be called Mark or Jason though.

Ellis?
