Finn or Theodore?

[AmberOlivier]

I just can't decide!

I love the name Finn I wanted to use this name but DH doesn’t like it x

Theodore!

I think of fish when I head Finn

I would go with Finn. I just don't like the name Theodore.

I like both. I have a Finn (finley) :)

Finn

Theodore!!

Finn is very overused and is now boring because of that. Whilst Theodore may be popular, it's still classic.

I have a Theodore, but he gets called Theo and I love both, although hubby not keen on full title of Theodore. I hadn't heard it used much before we chose it and everyone I speak to knows a Theo, so it may be quite common when he reaches school, which is a bit disappointing but I still love it

Finn

Finn. I used to like Theo, but it's become so popular now, I've gone off it a bit. I like Finn, but not Finley/Finlay.

Finn

Both Finn and Theo are very common and I feel, overused. But if those are the only names you love, I'd choose Theodore

Definitely Finn, strongly dislike Theodore

Prefer Theo to Theodore. Finn is nice too but Theo nicer.

Theodore

Theodore. I hate Finn (personal preference).

Theo

I like Theodore but prefer Finn.

I really don't like Theodore. It looks like The Odour and seems very American. How about Theophilus?
Theo on it's own is OK but very popular.
Finn is great but is likely to be very popular and it's a naughty boy's name.

Both names are likely to be very popular. On baby name charts Theo and Theodore appear separately, and Finn, Finley, Findlay and Finlay will be treated separately.

Finn sounds too trendy & nicknamey for me .. Theodore is ok (Theo or Teddy?) but there are other names with a similar feel that you may like too ...

Theodore is a more rounded, full, versatile name.
I do like Finn too, but rather as a nickname for Finlay, Finnegan...something like that.

We have a Theodore, much choice for nicknames if you like that - ted, Theo, teddy, I still really adore his name and we only know of two other much younger friends that called their sons because they liked it so much! He is nearly 9 now and we hadn't heard it before he was born!

I love Theodore. Theo or Teddy as a nickname are both adorable.

I really dislike Theo / Theodore...mainly because I honestly dislike any name that appears in charts or is fashionable.

For me the name should be appropriate for the child and the surname and should still be okay in 20 / 30 / 40 years!!

Theodore.

My parents wanted to call me Finn if I'd been a boy, and I'm eternally grateful I was a girl. I could just imagine the school years full of fish jokes/nicknames!

Theodore - absolutely love it.
