Theodore, otherwise Ethan

RuthW · 05/02/2022 23:30

Theo (dore) by a mile.

glitterfarts · 05/02/2022 23:31

Ethan

Viviennemary · 05/02/2022 23:33

Ethan by miles. Dont like Theo very much.

DramaAlpaca · 05/02/2022 23:43

I suppose Theo, of the two. I really don't like Ethan.

For some reason I tend not to like names with a 'th' sound in them. But that's my issue, nobody else's.

Theodore nn Theo

Ethan is nice enough, but had a mad fad 10 or 15 years ago so feels a bit dated. If you want something slightly less popular than either maybe Leon?

Chichimcgee · 06/02/2022 00:13

Is it the th sound you like?

Nathan
Matthew/Matthias
Thaddeus (love Tad as a nn)
Luther
Heath
Arthur
Uther
Seth
Theron

AuntTwacky · 06/02/2022 00:37

Ethan

Youcansaythatagainandagain · 06/02/2022 00:37

Ethan hands down.

MandyTandy · 06/02/2022 00:51

Ethan! There are SO many little Theos around here! I literally met a baby Theo yesterday and had to bite my tongue to avoid saying "another one??"

Awrite · 06/02/2022 00:55

Theo

Loved it since The Cosby Show.

Brett239 · 06/02/2022 01:17

Ethan!!

Blubells · 06/02/2022 07:54

Theo is soo overused and is already starting to sound dated.

Ethan is more timeless.

Trinacham · 06/02/2022 08:16

Ethan. Theo is too common for my liking

WhoppingBigBackside · 06/02/2022 12:27

Ethan. ~I can't say I like it but i know several. Theo is too popular

Effun is better than Feo

ISmellBurnings · 06/02/2022 12:31

I don’t think Ethan is timeless at all, it’s very ten years ago.

Meandthesky · 06/02/2022 14:10

Ethan

But neither if you live somewhere it will be Feo or Effan

Luckingfovely · 06/02/2022 14:16

Theo

It's a biblical name, so it's been around a long time
WhoppingBigBackside · 06/02/2022 15:30

Since abou King David's time ... no, not timeless at all

Fairylightsongs · 06/02/2022 15:32

Theo.
