Will Theo go the way of Oscar?

I know it's "on the up" but do you think it will become like Oscar - ten a penny and (that great MN fear) straddling the classes

Sorry - that "straddling the classes" comment was only a joke, but a bit rude of me. I was just thinking how for a lot of people there's nothing worse than coming up with a beautiful name for your baby only to find some footballer or soapstar has done the same thing. I am also remembering how a baby on Eastenders was called Oscar shortly after my friend had one and she was most about it.

By the way, I would go for Theodore but, inevitably, it would be Theo.

Lovely name but yes.

I thought it already was? I also think that it is used by all classes! I don't think there's anything wrong with that though is there?

Yes, but Theodore won't. I think lots of people are using just 'Theo'
