Theo?

I have heard people(of late)referring to it as a scally/chav/downmarket name. What are your honest thoughts? Do you think it's posh?

I wouldn't bat an eyelid at Theo, it's hardly "Keeyahhn-Mowziz", is it?

lol at Feo. Hey 'ugly!'

Feo/Fea being Spanish for ugly.

I like Theo but agree with Barbara Woodlouse, it's popular now. Not posh, not chav, 'of the moment' really.

I think Leo is just as nice and a bit less fashionable.

If you want to be more unusual what about Thaddeus? Thaddy is gorgeous as an alternative to Teddy or Theo.

leo is fashionable round here
theo is nice like it

Reminds me of The Cosby Show.

I think Theo is a very cool name and not 'chavvy' at all.

I named ds3 Theodore and then decided that I hate the name Theo Now everyone calls him Ted instead (apart from in-laws who have been told a million times and still insist on Theo )
