Theo

[LifeIsNow]

has just been added to our boys name list....thoughts please?

What kind of a boy/man is Theo?

Love it! Love it so much that I'm using it for my baby who is due next week!!

I have a 10yo Theo. It's an awesome name, I've never regretted it for a moment.

I struggle when I meet other Theos who are fair, as mine is dark haired and eyed and it seems to suit him so well. But that's just my weirdness.

I also chose his name based on whether it would sound good as captain of the Englad cricket team. Sadly he's not terribly interested in playing cricket.

Lula - do you always get a good reaction? Any problems with spelling or pronoucuation?

I love it, as does dh. Its top of our boys list.

My DS2 is Theo and he is quite mad. There is another Theo at school and he quite, er 'spirited' too. I am sure it's just a coincidence though!!

Biscuits For balance my DS is incredibly calm

Spinning Never had a bad reaction and the only issue with pronunciation is when we are in France, as they pronounce it Tay-o. But DS seems fine with it and pronounces it that way back to them when introducing himself.

It's very popular a the moment. I have three local starting in january. Two theo's and one thea!

My Theo is twenty seven and loves his name. He was pleased when Theo Walcott started playing for England (?) as many more people became familiar with the name which had been a bit of an issue before. His primary school friends all called him Feo. He was a bit of a worry as a teenager but is a lovely, high achieving adult with many friends, if a bit hyperactive.

I have a 2.5yr old Theo (white hair, grey/blue eyes, sorry Lula!) And love his name. It's jumped up the ONS list since he was born though, if being very popular worries you.

MIL knew a Welsh bloke called Theo who was in his eighties
