He is a Theodore, but we call him Theo. If that makes a difference.

I am puzzled by why you would think anyone would pronounce Louis Lewis.

YEN1 · 08/01/2022 11:08

Elliot and Elijah are lovely. I also like Alexander (Theo and Alex).

Ceramide · 08/01/2022 11:38

Dominic, Isaac and Elijah are my favourites of your shortlist.

Samuel
Jasper
Nicholas
William
Alexander
Rafferty
Edwin
Benedict

I think Louis Smith the gymnast pronounces as Lewis? All lovely names,OP. Robin would be my pick.

Blubells · 08/01/2022 12:36

I am puzzled by why you would think anyone would pronounce Louis Lewis.

Because many people outside of France pronounce Louis as Lou-is! It's widely used in Germany and pronounced Lou-is.

There's also the city St Louis pronounced Lou-is.

Blubells · 08/01/2022 12:37

Theo(dore) and

Robin
Dominic
Quentin
Nathan

Idontgiveagriffindamn · 08/01/2022 12:39

I’m biased as we have a Theo and an Archie. Seems to work together.
Robin was also on our list.

Blubells · 08/01/2022 12:40

Yes the English gymnast Louis Smith pronounced his name

loo - uhs smith

SilverPolarBear · 08/01/2022 12:41

Theo and Louis is my favourite

I also like Archie and don't mine Isaac.

Other ideas

Theo & Caspar
Theo & Nico
Theo & Hugh
Theo & Luca / Lucas
Theo & Monty
Theo & Gregor
Theo & Sebastian

I know siblings names don't need to 'go' but the one thing I would avoid is an F name like Freddie or Felix as it is quite a lispy mouthful- th and f sounds!

Atlas
Pip

Yep, but in the Uk it’s usual to pronounce it in the French style. And to use Lewis if that’s the sound you want.
RamonaandBeezus · 08/01/2022 22:56

I have a Theo, an Isaac and a Lucas. If I had another son, I'd call him Noah Smile

Luredbyapomegranate · 08/01/2022 22:59

Archie is my favourite with Theo
They are all nice - I would go for Robert nn Robin, rather than Robin as a full name. Elliot’s the only one I don’t much like.

Laurence nn Laurie, Christopher nn Christy, Patrick, Rufus, Miles, Rory, Jude, Stanley, Jethro, Angus, Ernest, Kester, Nathaniel nn Nate, Barnabas nn Barney, Francis, James, Max, Noah, Gabriel nn Gabe, Gideon, Alistair, Alexander nn Alex or Alec, Rafe, Jerome, Edmund/Edwin nn Ned,

AntiHop · 08/01/2022 23:01

From your list: Dominic
But I think Sebastian goes really well with Theo.

BellaVida · 08/01/2022 23:08

I really like Elijah from your list.

Other names I think would go well and could be shortened are:
Montague (Monty)
Sebastian (Seb or Sebi)
Zachary (Zach)

RoseMartha · 08/01/2022 23:09

Theo and Elijah sound good.

Or Benedict
Or Lawrence
Or Marcus

harriet465 · 09/01/2022 07:37

Theo and Archie is my favourite followed by Theo and Louis

ISmellBurnings · 09/01/2022 07:52

Noah
Alexander
Jude

I really like Elijah. Don’t like Louis at all, feels a bit wet, somehow.

GloriousGoosebumps · 09/01/2022 13:55

I like Maximillian, known as Max, which hasn't been suggested yet. Theodore and Maximillian seem a good match.

Belindabelle · 09/01/2022 21:14

Finn/Fynn or Flyn/Flynn

Blubells · 09/01/2022 22:39

Or Quinn?

Navykitchen · 09/01/2022 22:45

We have a Theo and his big brothers are Max and Lucas
