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

I'm not keen on James. I love Theo!

James..
Cute baby boy
Cheeky toddler
Handsome adult

I like both which is rare for me as I usually don't contribute to baby names! I like James best though.

Theo. James is a very dull name imo.

Alyx80 · 17/03/2017 20:47

Theo. James is boring

rainingkitsandpups · 17/03/2017 20:48

James.

Theo will date.

James is a little dull and Theo is too trendy, so personally I'd pick neither Smile

Theo!

BounceBounceSplishSplash · 18/03/2017 09:14

Theodore is a name that is centuries old so I don't think it would age or be too trendy imo. I think it's a classic, just a more interesting classic than dull James Grin

If I think about children only (ignoring adults), I know the same number called James and Theo!

I prefer James.

I'd definitely describe Theodore as classic rather than trendy myself. Theo on its own on the BC might be a little more 'of the moment', but there are plenty of older Theodores too, usually shortened to Ted. They're both classic names to me, it's just James is very well used overall; adults, babies, teenagers. I can think of a few people called James in each age group.

Theo suits a child but I don't like it as an adults name.
