What do people think of Theo, and what middle name would you put with it?

I like Theo Joseph, but im not blown away by it.

violethill - it is a name in it's own right, obviously it is a diminutive but by use has become a stand alone name I reckon...Theodore or worse Theobald don't do it for me...
most lovely is when French people pronounce the name

It's the best name ever,but I am biased

I love it too.

We were going to call DS2 Dylan George Theo but it was a bit of a long name. But it is on our list if we have another boy.

I love it too - dd2 would have been Theo if she'd been a boy.

I think it's a lovely name! Think it's become a name in it's own right tbh, a bit like Harry

Lovely name.

Theo Edward?
Theo James?
Theo William?

I think 'traditional' middle names sound nice. Though TBH I wouldn't bother with a middle name unless you use a family one or find one you absolutely love.

Love it.

Wanted it for ds2 but DH vetoed it.

Theo David

Theo John

Theo Michael

Theo Benjamin

Theo Anthony

Lots go with Theo.

Theo is great as an abbreviation but isn't a name in its own right - it's short for Theodore.

Nice though

Well I have a Theo so I say yes and i'll ignore any bad comments that may come further down! We have a Theo Harry Ethan (long story as to why so many middle names..) so his initial are THE and his surname is an animal which is always a talking point, especially as we were the only ones not to twig this as we'd not written it down before we decided on it!
