Ethan or Theo?

OP posts:

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

JessicaKenny2018 · 05/02/2022 20:46

Ethan, I always think about when there an adult and in that sense id go for Ethan

SirVixofVixHall · 05/02/2022 20:45

Theo.

@Imissmoominmama

Or more logically, that all the less than perfectly behaved Theo's have given me a negative opinion of the name? Maybe?

Imissmoominmama · 05/02/2022 19:29

@17caterpillars1mouse- yes, a name could definitely turn a child’s behaviour in the wrong direction…

Huntswomanonthemove · 05/02/2022 19:25

Theo

Roselilly36 · 05/02/2022 19:20

I love Theo, I like Ethan too though. Both are lovely choices.

RavenclawsRoar · 05/02/2022 19:19

Ethan.

StopForAMinute · 05/02/2022 18:49

Theo

17caterpillars1mouse · 05/02/2022 18:41

Definitely Ethan. Theo's are everywhere to the point I find it a bit blah, and they rarely seem well behaved children either

Lightningrain · 05/02/2022 18:37

Ethan as there are so many Theo’s around. I also prefer Theodore rather than just Theo.

user1493494961 · 05/02/2022 18:36

Theo.

Cotswoldmama · 05/02/2022 18:30

Ethan

TooManyPJs · 05/02/2022 18:29

Ethan definitely. Never liked Theo.

Chichimcgee · 05/02/2022 18:29

Theo but it’s very very popular

BethDutton · 05/02/2022 18:28

I like both but there are a lot of Theo’s in my area and I don’t know a single Ethan (child or adult) so I would choose Ethan.

NeverHadANickname · 05/02/2022 18:28

Ethan

IamnotwhouthinkIam · 05/02/2022 18:27

I want to say Ethan as I'm not really fond of nn's as given names plus there seem to be so many Theo's and Theodore's (and Teddys) about now... but I've always liked the sound of Theo

SquigglePigs · 05/02/2022 18:23

Theo

Sunshinedreaming2022 · 05/02/2022 18:20

Theo

ISmellBurnings · 05/02/2022 18:20

Theo! Love it.

Xanadu58 · 05/02/2022 18:19

Theo

Ohdoleavemealone · 05/02/2022 18:07

Theo for me

Happenchance · 05/02/2022 18:06

Ethan by a mile.
