Theo?

[Rnm62]

Hi everyone,

Confirmed I’m having a little boy at my 20 week scan yesterday!

We already have a little boy called Lucas.

What’s everyone’s thoughts on the name Theo? Any other suggestions that go well with Lucas?

Thanks!

Congratulations

Theo is a great name.

The first name that comes to my mind that goes with Lucas is Toby

Really like Theo. Both Theo and Lucas were on our boy list.

Theo is a great name!

I find it dull due to overuse

I really like it but they do seem to be popping up everywhere at the moment!

Lovely. Very very popular, but a lovely name.

Theo is a really nice name and goes well with Lucas.

Beautiful. It’s a contender for us too but I would use Theodore and shorten it I think

I think it's great

I don't know of any other Theos around here either.

Theo is one of my favourite names and it goes well with Lucas I think. I also like Jacob, Alexander and Oscar.

Lovely name and potentially would’ve used it if ours had been a boy two years ago. Now glad that wasn’t the case as it’s easily the most popular boys name where we live. So if popularity is important to you, I’d used something different.

It’s nice 😊 would you do the ted/teddy nickname?

It’s ok, very over-used.

I like it and it goes alongside Lucas.

Love it, Theo was second on our list, Miles was third.

Dull because of overuse. Lucas is nice. How about Zachary?

I like Theo, although there are eleventy billion little Theo's round my way. Ditto Toby, Oscar, Arthur. All nice names though!

I love Theo it was on my boys' list.

It is always said to be over popular on mumsnet but it must be regional because I have only ever taught one (EY teacher for 15 years) and that was over a decade ago and have never come across another one not even since having DD. There are a great many Teds and Teddies around here either as a name in their own right or shortened from Theodore but not met any using Theo.

I also liked Owen, Robin, Blake, Torin, Hugo, Spencer and Matthew for other ideas.

It was my first choice but husband vetoed because I think it means gift from God and he is atheist.
Still like it but there are zillions of small Theos (I work with preschoolers)

I only know one and he's in his twenties.

Love the name and Lucas and Theo work really well together.

Congratulations, I have two DSs who are now grumpy 6 foot teenagers but they still love a cuddle

It's a nice name but very popular in my area. There seems to be a lot of Theo, Toby, Teddy names at the moment.

Really nice, goes well with Lucas. I know it's popular nationally, but I actually haven't met any little ones called Theo yet with my toddler. (I've met a couple of teenagers, but a few years back.)

I didn't used to like the name but I have a Theo in my class this year and he's so lovely that he's won me round to it.

I like Theo, but I find it far too popular these days.
