Sibling for Theodore

[aureliacecilia]

I'm newly pregnant and beginning to think of names for my new baby, a brother or sister for Theodore. He is always Theodore, never Theo or Teddy, but I appreciate that might change when he's older. We chose Theodore as we liked the full name and the nicknames but he's just never suited the nicknames.

I like Oscar and Sebastian for a boy & Clara and Martha for a girl. I'm concerned the boys' names, in particular, are too popular although Theodore is hardly an unusual name so that's not necessarily a dealbreaker. If I like these names, what else might I like?

Also, if you have or know a Theodore, please could you tell me what their siblings are called?

Thank you.

Simon.

Very helpful @PocketBears... It's safe to say we've ruled those two out.

Love your girl name ideas.
Theodore is a lovely name and I bet very few are known by the full name so that's a nice change.
I personally don't know any Oscar or Sebastians but I'm assuming Oscar is more popular than Sebastian

If you like Sebastian but want a name further down the charts you might like Barnaby or Tristan or Christopher nn Kit or Laurence nn Laurie

If you like Oscar but want a name further down the charts how about Miles or Otis or Otto

I love Oscar and Sebastian and they definitely go with Theodore. Alexander would be my suggestion.

I love Clara but really dislike Martha. Other suggestions:
Imogen
Alice
Alexandra
Katherine nn Kate
Emmeline

(By the way I really like Sebastian - I wasn't saying "I assume Oscar is more popular" to be rude, I just imagine that there's more oscars than Sebastians)

I have a Theodore! Other names we liked for a boy- Dexter, Louie, Milo, Oscar, Frederick (Freddie)

Have 2 girls too, names we liked/went with- Isabelle, Francesca, Robyn, Lyra, Georgia,Charlotte

I have a little Oscar who is 18 months and honestly I have only ever come across one other little Oscar his age...I think it was more common 10+ years ago. We are also looking at names for 2nd baby and sounds like we have very similar tastes 🙂 Boys names I like are Jasper, Felix, Rafferty and Hugo (love Sebastian but OH doesn’t!) and Martha is my absolute favourite girls name (again not liked by OH) but we did talk about Margot, Lyra and India xx

I know a Theodore with brothers Alexander and Reuben.

I know a Theodore with a sister called Amelia.

Another friend from the same uni group has a Sebastian and a Zachary.

Laurence (Laurie), Maximilian, Roderick, Thomas, Clarence, Edmund, Francis, Julien, Otis, Ralph, Alaric, Herbert, Humphrey.

Adeline, Arabella, Beatrix, Octavia, Penelope, Isadora, Camille, Cordelia, Daphne, Iris, Josephine, Marianne.

Hector

Theodore and Aubrey

I know a Theodore with a brother named Solomon. They go by theo and sol.

I have a Theodor! He's 18! But I don't share my other son's name on MN because it is the coolest name ever and I want to keep it all to myself. Theodor(e) wasn't popular 18 years ago. So I'm protecting my other son's name. I'm mean. I know.

But what is nice with Theodore would be Alisdair/Alasdair, Atticus, Henry, Hector, Frederick, Alexander, Rex, Jasper, Roland, Elliot, Julian, Hugo, Abraham, Torsten, Aelred.

I have a Theodore (16) we also liked Alexander, Charlie, Louis and Sebastian

His sister is one of Elodie, Rebbeca (Becky), Charlotte (Lottie) and Jessica.

I have a Max and a Lucas, although ds3 goes by Theo. I also liked Rueben, Samuel and Sebastian

Oh and Zachary

Hopefulhalf how funny! I too have a Theodor(e)- we spell it the German way and a Rebecca! Good names!

Thank you! Lots of really lovely ideas here.

Sebastian, Anastasia, Matilda, Constance (Connie), Oscar, Francesca, Leonora, Montague, Arabella
