Theo and Leo

[Hereforthebabyname]

I have a son called Theo, can I use the name Leo as a middle name for my second son? Obviously they are so similar I'd never do both as a first name, but can I use such a similar name to DS1s first name as DS2s middle name? Very different first names and DS1 middle name is also nothing like either name.

I suppose. Not like middle names are ever really used!

Yes, of course! No-one ever uses middle names.

As above when does anyone use a middle name?!

Yes you can

Theo Peter and David Leo don't sound similar and they will be Theo and David to most people.

(Obviously other names made up)

Yes. I think that's fine.

I think it's fine. Great names.

As an aside, when I was little we used to go for a walk to the postbox. There was a house with 2 stylised lions at the front gates, which we called (no idea why) Leo and Theo.

Many people don't even have middle names. In other words they never get used.

Yes fine

Yes of course. Both lovely names and they won't be Theo and Leo, they will be Theo and [other name].

Fine for the middle - or you could go for Leon.

Yes, it's fine.
