I prefer one of the first 3.

Thomas Andrew - love
Theodore Andrew (Teddy) - I don't like Theodore or Teddy
Cameron Andrew (Cammie, Cam) - no to Cameron, Cam and Cammie. Sam is nice, Cam isn't
Harrison Andrew (Harry) - ok, prefer Harry to Harrison

Will be a Sister to Rosamund (Rosie) - like

I like Theodore, and I like the nickname Teddy as a little boy. If that's a bit babyish for him when he gets older, it'll get shortened again to Ted which I also like.

Thomas Andrew - fine, Thomas is such a classic name it's not going to date badly, or be risky. However, to my taste it is incredibly boring, especially paired with Andrew which is similarly traditional. Nothing I can get excited about here.

Theodore Andrew (Teddy) - My favourite from your list. I love the nickname Theo too.

Cameron Andrew (Cammie, Cam) - I dislike the name Cameron, can't say what it is, but it's just not nice to me. I also think Cammie is a horrible nickname. I am in the minority on both those things on MN and I would't be surprised if this is one of the most popular on this thread.

Harrison Andrew (Harry) - Harrison is a great name and my second favourite from your list. That being said it seems a real shame to use Harry as a nickname, which very common and boring, but perhaps slightly unavoidable due to the length of Harrison.

I really dislike Teddy, though there seem to be a lot around so probably in the minority. Theo is ok. Thomas is my favourite (love it) but Harrison and Cameron/Cam also nice.

If Harrison would be known as Harry, I'd just go with that.

Harrison

DramaAlpaca · 14/09/2021 21:55

Thomas for me.

whatausername · 15/09/2021 00:34

Cameron. The rest are a dime a dozen

AdaColeman · 15/09/2021 00:38

Theodore or Cameron.

Harrison is my least favourite.

Babydust13 · 15/09/2021 02:44

My favourite is Thomas but I also like Harrison

OrangeAndYellowAndBlue · 15/09/2021 06:57

Thomas or Theodore.

BeKindBeYou · 15/09/2021 07:17

Love Thomas!

GemmaRuby · 15/09/2021 07:21

I really like Cameron. Not convinced about Cammie though.
Teddy and Harrison are very “on trend” at the moment and could age badly.
Thomas is a classic

AdaColeman · 15/09/2021 08:21

I’m not keen on Cammie as a nn, I think Ron or Ronnie would be better, though it’s impossible to control nicknames once they are at school.
