Which would you pick?

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

Not a fan of the name Theo plus it seems to be quite a well used name- lots of little Theos here!

Love Joel and Cameron, both very cool. The Cameron I know gets called Cam.

Three really lovely names, I like them all, no wonder you are having trouble to decide, perhaps wait till baby arrives and see what name suits him. Congrats by the way.

I guess region can effect perception? Eg Cameron a "normal" name in Scotland?

Cameron is a perfectly normal name for a boy in Scotland, I know several of them. There is nothing posh or pretentious about it.

Theo is really nice. I only know a couple. I'm not so keen on Joel or Cameron but both are very "normal" names so it's just personal taste. I know of a girl called Cameron who is a teenager now.

Cameron is a name I think is tainted at the moment from its association with David Cameron. Though isn’t as heavy a political statement as calling your child Thatcher would be. It’s a perfectly nice, normal name though.

Theo is so lovely but everyone seems to think so and so is dreadfully overused.

Joel is nice.

Theo 100%

I love the name Cameron- all the little boys I've met named Cameron have been absolute delights to teach!
I would veto Theo as I've met around 5 under 4 in the last year... (that goes for variations of Theodore, such as Theo, Ted, Teddy).
Joel, not too keen on, but haven't met many either so that could be a great sign!
