Me and my other half really like Theo but we also really like the name Wilbur, but we are not as keen on Will as a nickname. So we came up with Theobur, Theo will be their nickname but just like Theobur as a full name, a bit more to it. Can't see it is a real name though, is it ok to make up a name??

No Theodore reminds me of Alvin and the chipmunks, it is not that strange to like one variant of a name a not another. Also like Theoden which is a real name, just like Theobur more.

Then just call him Theo Wilbur

My names unusual, I say things like this when I am meeting and addressing people I expect to be rude and dim.

Haha burn. So you think I give off the impression of being rude and dim before I so much as open my mouth. I wonder how you decide who is rude and dim before you speak to them? From their appearance? Facial expression?
