Baby boy due next month, was going to be Theodore...

[Juniper27]

Despite a lifetime of name loving, my baby boy and first born is due next month and we are still debating a name.

I thought we were settled on Theodore but husband has now said he’s not sure.

Names we have discussed:
Jasper
Rowan
Oscar
Eli(jah)
Felix
Rupert
Barnaby

Can anyone throw some suggestions at me? Just seem to flick through the name guides thinking ‘no, no, no’ - nothing seems to fit I would love something that’s cute for a little boy (Or has sweet nicknames) but also suited to a grown man.

I like Jasper and Felix.

Caspar
Marcus
Anthony
Lawrence
Tristan
Nathaniel
Alexander/Xander
Peter
Julian
David

What about the name Thoe has your husband gone off? Is it just a general feeling or because he prefers another name or he wants something more traditional etc? @Juniper27 x

By the way I love Theodore so much so understand why you're disappointed and I hope your husband comes back to the name ❤️

If you like Theo what about Milo or Arlo?

Theo is a good name though, that’s why it’s popular. I know 7 between the age of 2 and 9.

And that's why it will eventually fall out of fashion and sound dated!

I’m about to say something controversial! I work in a nursery and every Theodore I have looked after has been a very tricky child! I’m sure it’s pure fluke but has totally put me off the name forever!

Theo/dore/Teddy has shot up the popularity charts - I know so many - that I fear it may soon fall out of fashion and start to sound 'dated'.
