Theoden

Fully acknowledge this might just be hormones talking. Have recently had a gorgeous baby boy. We're calling him Theo, haven't registered him yet but planning to register him as Theodore as I like the flexibility of him having a longer version and option to use Ted as a nickname instead of Theo if he prefers. Have just been thinking about Theoden (name from Lord of the Rings), really like the sound of it and wondered if it would be a good alternative long form instead of Theodore? Or is this crazy talk??

Only if your surname is King.
Otherwise stick to Theodore, which is cute and lovely.

Hormones are definitely talking. Stick to classic Theodore. You can call him theoden has a nickname if you must.

Congrats!

Definitely crazy talk! Theodore is much nicer. People will assume that’s his name anyway and he will keep having to correct people.
