Theo. I love it.

Henry

Theo is a bit lispy. Henry is a classic. Both are very popular.
Avoid using a filler middle name or he could be one of two with the same full name.

Hopefully you have a less common surname! Both Henry/Harry and Theo are sooo widely used.

Henry

It’s consistently very popular but right now there are SO MANY Theos and Theodores.

OopsieeDaisy · 12/01/2024 22:35

Both are nice but I prefer Henry.

Love both - I think I’d choose Henry

They are both fine. Very popular, very safe. Either would be fine and I'm sure no-one would think twice about either of them. Very much a Joe or Tom or John of 2024.

Yes agree with this. I’d go Henry though as it feels less faddy

Henry. This is my DS' name. We get a lot of compliments.

Henry is the best.

I like Theo but not Theodore but prefer Henry.
