Help! Theo, Joel, Rory...

[eth37]

These are the only three names I like for DS2. I think at the minute, Rory is fave, but I would welcome other suggestions, or thoughts. I really like Max but it would sound totally ridiculous with out surname What do you think?

Oh - and any middle name suggestions to go with them? With DS1 it was easy as he had his grandfather's middle name (Thomas). Thanks!

I have a Rory. It's a brilliant name!

Rory William
Rory Stewart
Rory Theodore
Joel Anthony
Joel David
Joel Frederick

I prefer Theodore to Theo; it feels more complete.

I think Rory is lovely.

I really really like Rory. Think James would sound good with it. The others are OK but always think Theo sounds abit of a weak name and Joel just reminds me of Billy Joel.

Oh great - glad people seem to like Rory, I was worried people would snigger a bit. Agree that Rory James sounds lovely. Now just to work on DH....

Rory

THere are lots of Theos and even though I used to love it, I've gone off it a bit. O names seem over now, as a trend anyway. I still like Hugo and Leo though.

Joel I quite like. It sounds a bit like a girl's name though. I know it's not btw, but I still couldn't use it. Just personal choice. I feel the same about Noah.

I actually really dislike theodore,love Theo though.

Rory is ok. I prefer Joel though,followed by Theo.

Chickens me too

Rory first choice for me.

Rory Joseph
Rory Patrick
Rory David
Rory Cole
Rory Elliott
Rory Benjamin

Definitely Rory. Great name.

I like Joel the best, Rory is quite nice too. Not a fan of Theo I am afraid, but if you do go for Theo, definately use Theodore on the bc.

Quite like them all. I think Saul fits with them.

Joel is a lovely name.

Oh def Rory its a great name! And I think it goes great with James too but I know a Rory Dylan he's hitting 30 and a total cool surfer music dude and I just love the name! Congrats btw :)

Rory!!

I don't like Joel due to bad associations and I'm so bored of Theo as I know loads (5 within close friends and family)

I have a Rory James. I get loads of compliments especially from men, who think it's a strong and 'cool' name.

Hmm, still can't decide - thought we were set on Rory, but Joel creeping back as favourite. Think I have gone off Theo, really don't like Theodore and think it sounds a bit incomplete on its own, somehow. And a bit too trendy. Not sure of a middle name to go with Joel though... Atleast I have a while to go!!

I hate Joel-dont ask me why, but the others are good.

Joel Nathan / Evan. Something ending in 'n' works for me. Don't know why.

All good though. I like Rory James.

I have a Theodore (Alexander John, known as Theo and a Rory James (Victor) - what great taste you have .

I know everyone says there are hundreds of Theos, but I only know of one other (in the SE) and as yet, no Rorys. I also have a Rufus and there are more than one of them however!

Oh, and re Max - we almost chose Max instead of Theo - but there are 4 in my daughter's class (Y1) so in my experience, it is far more 'common' than Theo.

I have a Joel David. I love it. And him

Love Joel and Rory:

Rory Joel
