Ted for a boy?

DF and I had decided that if our new baby is a boy we would call him Thomas but on Sunday we were chatting and got to talking about Theodore.

Now I love Theo and did also for DS but DF felt that the meaning was not good. Theodore means god's gift so Theo means "God".

If we went for this he would call the baby Ted or Teddy, I quite like it and there is always the option of him being called Theo if he grows out of being a Teddy.

What do others think?

I love it but couldn't use it as my grandad was called Ted and he wasn't very nice and don't think family would have forgiven me. I have a Thomas though.

Theo is best name ever and Ted is lovely

I think Ted as a nickname for Theodore is lovely.
