Theo or Adam....?

[Dahliasings91]

As per title, torn between the two names for DC3.

I know both are quite common, well used names.

Not keen on Theodore so it will just be Theo.

I like both, but personally prefer Theo with Theodore as a full name, so on that basis I’d pick Adam!

Can't put my finger on why but I really don't like the name Adam
Theo is nice though

Adam

Don't like either but Adam is better than Theo.

Both names are nice, but I would opt for Adam.

Find Theo a bit chavvy tbh

Theo is much nicer than Adam, however it is much more popular at the moment too.

Adam

Adam is more classic than Theo and its popularity more evenly spread.

With the exception of Theo James, the actor, I’ve yet to come across a Theo (in the uk anyway) over the age of 13.

I like both but Adam has stood the test of time, whereas Theo is very 'now'.

Yes there are lots of both around, but Adam tends to be spread across the generations (particularly the under 50s), whereas Theo is super popular among under 15s in particular, so there are more likely to be lots of Theos the same age as him.

I would choose Adam.

Adam. Theo is so overused and I'm not keen. I dislike Theodore.

Adam definitely - Theo is very now, so is going to sound dated in the way that Gary, Darren etc do now - Adam is a classic over the years.

Also avoids him having to be Theo B or whatever - I could fill a football team with all the little Theos I know.

Theo is very commonplace now. 30 years ago I babysat for a little Theo and it was a REALLY unusual name. Now there are two or even three in several of the classes at 'my' primary school

I like both, but would choose Theo first.

I like Theo. However, three out of the last four baby boys I’ve known to be born have been called Theo (just Theo, not Theodore)

Adam always reminds me of Trebor Mints.

Pick Theo!

Love the name Adam! And it may not be as popular as you think, at least here in the US it's not even top 100.

@KayEmAy it’s in the top 50 in the UK but even so, there will be far fewer little Adam’s running around than Theo’s or Theodore’s known as Theo, so your point stands!

Adam. Theo is rather overused around these parts (Midlands) so it's getting boring.

There are so many Theos that it’s become really dull. It has no impact. But I do find that many parents of Theos seem to think they’ve chosen a really unusual and daring name.

Adam is great.

Adam. I'm a bit Theo'ed out and wouldn't go for it without the full version which is lovely but very popular. Adam is a bit more evenly spread

Adam

I love Adam.
