Help pick baby boy name 💙

[Smilesarecontagious]

Hi all ,
Due in a few weeks cant decide on a boys name 🤔
What names I do like are

Artie
Cassius/ Cassian
River
Theodore
Teddy

Please vote which you prefer thankyou

I love Theodore

I don't like Artie but Arthur is ok
River is too 'nature' for me to like as a name
Cassian/Cassius are both ok, and will shorten to Cass, which is fine
I don't like Theodore at all and Theo is overused
Teddy was ok for Teddy Sheringham but not keen otherwise. Prefer Eddie/Ed to Ted.

Artie and Teddy are nns for a start. Teddy is a nn for Theodore! So no to them. No to Theodore because you can't throw a rock without hitting a baby Theo/Teddy/Theodore. River is a bit try hard. So Cassius/Cassian. Probably Cassian. Or Arthur with Artie as a nn.

Theodore is the only one of those I like

Cassius. Lovely, underused and easy to spell.

He's going to be an adult far longer than he's a child, and I just wouldn't saddle a grown man with Artie or Teddy. They are nns and quite cutesy ones at that.

Millions of Theos around at the moment! River is OK if you must. I know a few of those too! Likewise Ocean (yes, really).

My favourite on your list in Theodore, I think that's a lovely name and is often given the nickname Teddy too, which is also on your list. I like Artie but I prefer Arthur as a name and Artie for short.

Theodore

Artie 🖼️ and Teddy 🧸? Seriously?

I like Cassius and River

Wouldn't mean kids add an F to Artie?

Theodore with teddy as a nickname

I'd go Edward and then you can start with Teddy, change to Ted, Ed, Eddie, Ned etc as you (and then he) see fit in the future.... I know teenagers called Ted and Ned (not brothers!) and they are both happy with their names.

Cassius

also like Theodore/ Teddy and river

Artie

I love them all but in particular Cassius. I almost called one of my boys it and still love it years later.

I like Teddy best but only as a nickname for Edward. Next would be Theodore.

I'd go Edward and then you can start with Teddy, change to Ted, Ed, Eddie, Ned

It's Edward (nickname Ed or Eddie) and not Nedward, Tedward or Jedward etc

I love Artie, I know many have the issue with it being a nickname but to me it's not as much as others that are used now and think it's a cool version of Arthur. Not keen on Theodore but if you like teddy could be the way to go then can use two of your chosen names in one?

Theodore is the only one I'd consider!

Theodore is the only proper strong classic manly name on that list.

All the others are infantile and weird on an adult.
