Thea Grace??? Honest Opinions!

Give it to me straight. I’d much rather have honest opinions now rather than my poor daughter being stuck with a bad name later.

What are your thoughts on Thea Grace?

We really love the name Thea! We aren’t sure if we should just go with Thea as a stand alone name or if Theodora nn Thea is better. If we did go with the later we have no intention of ever calling her Theodora. Is it silly to chose a name that is never used? Is Thea a legitimate, respectable stand alone name that will age well? Would she be better served to have the option of Theodora? Is Thea/Theodora a bad choice?

Grace is a sentimental family name so we are pretty set on using it. I know it’s a little blah and a common “filler” middle name, but it has a lot of meaning to our family.

Like I said, I really want your honest thoughts. You won’t hurt my feelings. Thanks so much!!

Thea is very “now” and will date.

I think it's a lovely name but if you are worried about it being too popular I think it will be very popular next year - they have just announced that the new Bill & Ted movie will feature their daughters Billie and Thea. #partyondude

The only Thea I've ever known is mid 30s and pronounced 'Tay-ya' hence my question earlier in the post :)

Absolutely love it

Thea Grace is nice. Personally I wouldn't bother with Theodora if you're never going to use it. My friends daughter is Thea and it definitely works as a stand-alone name.
