Help name this baby!

We are meant to be registering DS2 tomorrow. We had provisionally chosen Theodore with nn Theo or Ted, but I'm just not sure. Worried it is too popular/faddy and will date. We went out yesterday to a soft play and felt like every other boy was Theo. I do love the name though but worried he will end up one of many. Do we stick with it or go with something else? Other options were Samuel, Gabriel or something else. What do you think he looks like he would suit?

I think you should call him Delicious

Theodore with Ted as a nickname. He’s got an old-man-grump look about him (in a lovely cute baby way) and I think Ted suits him perfectly.

Congratulations Flowers

Theo is Such a cute name! And not too cute that an adult wouldn’t suit it.

Gabriel is really feminine sounding. Quite girly. Not a fan.

Samuel sounds a bit like a dogs name although I like Sam.

Cute baby :)

Aw he's gorgeous.
I would go with Ted.

Any of your choices because HES GORGEOUS

Awwww congratulations what a gorgeous baby. I also love the name Theo. Not so keen on Samuel and I don't like Gabriel.

Other suggestions I think could work..

Rory
Joshua
Benjamin

kenandbarbie · 01/12/2019 16:32

Ted is lovely btw

lostfrequencies · 01/12/2019 16:33

Just reread and you weren't really looking for other suggestions. Sorry! Go with Ted or Theo, the latter may be popular at the moment but I don't think it's faddy.

BlueEyedFloozy · 01/12/2019 16:35

Theo is nice but it is popular - fwiw my DS has a popular name (ironically, it's also universally hated) and other than having the first letter of his surname used in school it's never bothered him/us. If you like it go for it!

He's gorgeous, congratulations :)

PsychosonicCindy · 01/12/2019 16:38

Theo/Ted
He definitely looks like a Ted to me. He is gorgeous! I wish I could smell his head haha

EnglishRain · 01/12/2019 16:40

Ted 💕

marymungoandminge · 01/12/2019 16:56

Teddy.

GreigLaidlawsbarofsoap · 01/12/2019 16:58

I would go Gabriel nn Gabe.

WeCameToDanceWithTheDead · 01/12/2019 17:00

All I can think when I look at your picture is awwwww, look at those squishy cheeks!
As you can't name him squishy cheeks I think you should name him Gabriel. It's one of my favorite names and at the top of the list if I ever have another one (and it happens to be a boy).

lovelyjubilly · 01/12/2019 17:00

I looked at the photo before reading the post and immediately thought "He looks like a Theo" ...🤷

Simonsaysitschristmas · 01/12/2019 17:04

He is sooooo cute and squishy!
Theodore is a gorgeous name. He also looks a bit like a Freddie or a Rory.

Fluffycloudland77 · 01/12/2019 17:04

I was hoping this would be a 🐱.

James is a nice name.

Hunkyd0ry · 01/12/2019 17:10

Might not be helpful but if you want to call him Ted his full name could be Edward?

Theo is ace though. As a teacher I’ve never had more than 1 in a class.

astralweaks · 01/12/2019 17:13

Theo is nice and suits him. He’s gorgeous! 🥰

isitxmasalready · 01/12/2019 17:14

I would stick to your original plan. He suits it. He's so cute.

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 01/12/2019 17:17

Awwww I remember your thread.
He’s definitely a Gabriel.
Congratulations FlowersBear

EssentialHummus · 01/12/2019 17:17

Ted or Rory for me. He is just wonderful (and this thread is bringing back memories of posting the same thing myself, over two years ago now).

runoutofnamechanges · 01/12/2019 17:31

I think he looks like an Edward. DC thinks he looks like a Russell! Grin

All your names are lovely though.

NotReve · 01/12/2019 17:32

I genuinely 100% looked at the picture first and thought Theodore!

midsomermurderess · 01/12/2019 17:36

Wilfred, Little Wilf.
