Cameron, Theo or Joel?

[helpamamaout]

Which would you pick?

(They all "go" and flow with chosen middle name options and surname)

Theo but that's because I've been reading the Theodore Boone books by John Grisham

Joel

Cameron

Not Theo.

Joel is gorgeous, classic and underused. It was on our list for a boy.

Joel.

I know about six Theos. Lovely as it is.

Cameron second.

Cameron

Great taste OP.

My DS is a Cameron (Cam every day) and DD would have been a Joel if she was a DS.

So Cameron and Joel tie for me.

I like Theo but it's very common near me so the other two win.

Cameron was very popular in Scotland about 15 yrs ago. Will get shortened to Cam. David Cameron.
Theo. This is so overused that I would say don't. I don't like Theodore at all but Theo is ok. It will get said as Feo.
Joel. Great but some will say Joe-Elle and some will think it's Joe.

Of the three, Joel.

I have a Cameron and he loves his name and it's very rare we meet another one (midlands), Camy for short (age 6)

Joel or josh perhaps next

Theo is common where I live

I never even thought of abbreviations for Cameron, I'm deliberately trying to avoid names with abbreviations. Cameron isn't very common where we live haven't heard it abbreviated here so far, now I'm worried though!

Theo
Cameron
Joel

In order. My nephew is a Cameron and he's often called Cam.

Joel although I like Elliot which doesn’t seem too common.

Cameron is lovely

I’m really not a fan of Theo, especially if you love somewhere it’ll be pronounced fee-oh

Joel - it is masculine but I imagine a Joel to be a Kind hearted sensitive soul which I like

I see Theo as a 'naughty boy name. Not a fan

Cameron is nice but not as nice as Joel. It has more of a cheeky chappy kind of feel

Theo, then Joel, then Cameron, I instantly think of David Cameron.

Joel, definitely.

Theo is overused.

Cameron makes me think of David Cameron.

I think I’d go Joel but Theo is also lovely

Joel. I love it, gave it to DS2. He's 7 now, and goes to a massive primary but I know of only one other Joel there. And only one person (one of his pre-school teachers) pronounced it Joe-elle (which bugged DS even at age 3)

Second choice Theo. Don't love Cameron because I can't get past the ex-PM.

I shared a house with a Theo. He was an horrendous idiot.
Joel I have negative associations with.
Cameron? If my boss in 20 years is Cameron, I would think his mother had notions. Delusions of grandeur.

Can you rethink?

@DonkeyAtemyHomework - delusions of grandeur... what in earth do you mean 🙄 it's hardly Fortesque or Ptolemy

@helpamamaout - we shorten Cameron but nursery, school and his friends all call him by his full name

Joel

Cameron

Like Cameron Diaz?
Or David Cameron?

Or do you think it sounds like a fine name?

Cameron will get bullied. Joel probably not. If you're stuck on those names. Theodopulus? Well let's not discuss him....

Cameron won’t get bullied - it’s a perfectly normal boy’s name. I know three.
