Middle name for Theo

44 replies

I don't know what I'm having, although I'm pretty sure it'll be a boy (I had the same feeling with DS, either that or I'm mad).

So for the first name we've decided on Theo, I was going to go "Theo Rowan" but I don't think it fits? And it deserves something more traditional.

DS middle name is Thomas so that's a no. But again I do like the more traditional names for a middle name.

Forgot to say if it's nice enough ring to it we can throw Welsh names in there too.

I have a Theo and ended up giving him his fathers name in exchange for my surname. But if I'd had free reign I'd have gone with Alexander, I think they flow really well together.

George
Ellis

@SandrasAnnoyingFriend Ah that's nice though, DH name wouldn't go with it unless I went with the traditional form. Alexander is nice too, I can't decide if it needs something longer or as short.

@babycakes1010 I literally just found Elis as the Welsh version and jotted it down.

@MissPepper8 It would be nice if his father wasn't an unmitigated twat

How about Theo James?

But seriously I'd give him the full name Theodore.

Theodore James
Theodore James

Any family name?

MissPepper8 · 18/10/2019 13:50

I like James and Alexander right now, James was the first thought I had actually.

@Lavenderblues Thread wasn't about my choice of first name and I prefer shortened form Theo.

Ah Theo is a lovely name

Theo James sounds lovely

Perhaps a middle name without an “O” in it would work best as otherwise it detracts slightly from Theo

Theo Alexander
Theo James
Theo Rupert
Theo Rex
Theo Reuben

I think I like James best so far

Theo Alexander is gorgeous.

@MissPepper8 James was what first came to mind as well.

FthisS · 18/10/2019 14:24

Definitely Alexander or Sebastian

LouiseLouisa87 · 18/10/2019 14:27

Dore

Mines Theo Bear

Kanga83 · 18/10/2019 14:30

I have a Benedict Theodore. I think Benedict would work equally well as a middle name.

HufflepuffBean · 18/10/2019 14:31

Mine is Theo Paul. He suits it beautifully.

Wattagoose90 · 18/10/2019 15:44

I love Theo Rowan!

MissPepper8 · 18/10/2019 15:54

Thanks everyone, I have some lovely choices to convince DH with now. I really do like the longer names but I'm stuck on James and George as ideas too. This is harder than choosing the first name 😂

@Wattagoose90 I did have that down as my final choice but my nana has sewn a seed of doubt 😂. She said its too modern and needs a more traditional middle name as I've shortened Theodore.

I also gave my Theo his father's name as a middle name but really likely Theo Samuel

bebumba · 18/10/2019 16:56

Another one in favour of Theo James
