Theodore Lincoln- too presidential??

Hi

DS has arrived and is still a poor namesless baby! We're loving Theodore Lincoln but does it make us sound a bit obsessed with American Presidents? We're not! It's just coincidence they're both presidential names.

We were thinking of maybe adding a second middle name to 'dilute' the presidential feel, maybe:

Theodore Edward Lincoln
Theodore Oscar Lincoln

What do people think? Any other suggestions welcomed. Thank you!

Edward and Theodore - both shorten to Teddy.

I would therefore avoid both together.

I don't like Theodore Oscar Lincoln.

Either go with just Theodore Lincoln or add Kennedy or Ulysses. (I am deadly serious - I love both!).

But surely no-one's going to think "Theodore James? His parents must love Donald Trump"

Surely???

Theodore and James are both well established names.

A baby girl named Ivanka, on the other hand.....

Theodora Edward Lincoln - Teddy Teddy Lincoln.

My favourite is Theodore Matthew Lincoln.
