Theo or Theodore?

What do you think? We'll always call DC Theo if it's a boy, but should we put the full name on the birth certificate?

Just Theo. I knew a Theodore who got teased when people discovered his full name. may be different now it is more common byt I think Theo on its own is fine. It's a shortened version and not just a nickname. Same as Sam, Ben etc lots of people use those. (I have a long name and only use it at the doctors etc and it always seems abit odd).

Theo

I doubt he will ever want to use Theodore if it has never been used.

Theodore

I think it is a lovely name.

I like Theodore. It could always be shortened to Ted if your DS decides he doesn't like Theo.
