what do you thisk of these boys names??

[foximusprime1]

so....i posted a few days ago about two names we are considering, I'm due in 5 weeks we don't know what were having, we are all sorted for a girls name however, were totally stumped with boy names.

id like to know your thoughts on the ones we like
here are a few we like:

Tristan - my mum doesn't like :( so feel like I shouldn't have it.

Quinn - people on mumsnet said it sounds like quim?

Theodore - a bit too popular now? also a bit of a mouthful

Theon - husband and I like but people have said its a character from game of thrones.

if I like these names, can anybody suggest other's I may like??

[Flumplet]

You could go with Theon, nn Reek... Has a nice ring to it.

Nowt wrong with Theodore - I have one of those and he's the only one in his class.

[Flumplet]

My Theodore goes by Theo to most, but he's Teds or Teddy to me.

[Gummibaers]

I like Quinn and Theodore. Tristan sounds too sad (triste = sad in French).

How about Quentin or Reuben?

[Serenity05]

I have a five month old Tristan and my MIL just decided today that she likes the name - she didn't before (although had the grace not to say anything) but she now associates it with her grandson who she loves, so she loves his name. If you want Tristan, go for it. Your mum will learn to live with it.

Theodore is a great name as well and has great potential nicknames. Theon is cool but the associations with Theon from Game of Thrones make it a huge no. And personally I think of Quinn as a girl's name (entirely influenced by the characters from Daria and Glee!).

Love Tristan don't like the other names

[AlmaMartyr]

I like Tristan, Quinn and Theodore. Theon is a nice name but please don't do it. The GoT association is pretty grim.

Tristan's my favourite actually :)

The point of posting on MN is to get the opinions others will have but not voice to your face - otherwise why bother asking?

[BobberClobber]

Yes, indeed Narp - MN is very useful for that!

What I ment was, post some ideas, get differing opinions, listen to what you want to hear, dismiss what you will, then make your final choice privately. I always feel so sorry for the people who post their final choice which is then torn to shreds. The OP seems quite bothered about what other people think about her name choices, so I thought the advice of not telling anyone her final choice might be useful. I know a lot of people dislike my DS's name. I wouldn't have wanted to hear that before he was born. Now he is here, RL people hide their feelings quite well, which I appreciate!

[DerelictMyBalls]

From your list, I prefer Tristan.

Never mind what your mum says - she will get used to it.

[crazygirluk]

I love Quinn. If I have another boy it would definitely be on the shortlist.

[Cocoabutton]

Theodore is my favourite. I love the nn Ted or Teddy

[septembersunshine]

I really feel like I'm missing out on some great action not ever having watched Game of Thrones! Sounds action packed.

That aside I would wait till you have the baby and pick between Theodore (Theo is a cool nickname) or Tristian - both great names :)

[foximusprime1]

Thank you for all your help ladies!!!

I love theon but having looked into GOT, I think I will leave it lol

After watching Game of Thrones I dislike the name Theon very much.

Naming one's child is obviously incredibly personal, and between you and your partner. But please read this article before giving your child this name: gameofthrones.wikia.com/wiki/Theon_Greyjoy

I agree with somebody that said Theoden might be a nice alternative, I personally really like it.

What about:
Terrence
Trevor
Titus
Tiberius
Travis
Ulric?
Or just Theo?

[1horatio]

Oops, just saw you already decided against Theon.
Tristan is also really nice. I'm sure you're mum will end up loving the name. Simply because it's the name of her grandchild...
