Which do you prefer? Full name for Theo would be Theodore on bc etc. but would plan to call him Theo day-to-day.

James every time. Gorgeous name.

James

Theo. (Unless you are somewhere where this would get pronounced fee-oh.)

James

James.

It's a classic and won't date. Theo is very 'now'.

WhatWouldLeslieKnopeDo · 17/03/2017 15:32

James, definitely.

OneSecondAfter · 17/03/2017 15:37

Theodore/Theo. Goes well with James as a middle name too.

cauliwobbles · 17/03/2017 15:46

Theo as I only know 1, I know 14 kids called James!

James :-)

Gummibears · 17/03/2017 16:18

Theo is starting to feel a little dated imo, James is more classic.

apotheke · 17/03/2017 16:21

James by a mile.

Jooni · 17/03/2017 16:25

Theodore, Theo

Madbengalmum · 17/03/2017 16:26

Sophronia · 17/03/2017 17:01

James

James :)

OneSecondAfter · 17/03/2017 17:12

See how overly popular James is?! That's why you should pick Theo Grin

BaymaxismyHero · 17/03/2017 17:30

Theo is lovely. James is boring.

CPtart · 17/03/2017 17:31

James. Most people preferring James won't actually have a DS by that name.

Newbiecat · 17/03/2017 17:36

James- my sons middle name and I wish I saved it as a first name for my recently born 3rd son!

TheOptimisticButtercunt · 17/03/2017 17:37

Theodore James!

1horatio · 17/03/2017 17:39

Most people preferring James won't actually have a DS by that name.

True. It isn't even on our boy's list.

But I just think Theo is very trendy and will therefore age...
