Theodore

[LoveYouHoneybear]

How many Theodore’s do you know? Despite its popularity, I actually only know one. Is it popular in your area?

I know none.

None.

One, mine.

3- one is older has always gome
by teddy. 2nd is theodore: 3rd youngest hates Theodore has always been Theo that’s his name and detests anyone using his full name because to him that’s a whole other name, he’s Theo … which is a much better name than Theodore

About five or six, including my son (who is in his 20s). It was quite unusual when we chose it...well outside the top 100 names. Now I think it's regularly in the top 10 or so....

5, it’s quite common where I am

None in any baby classes or my 2 year olds nursery - North east London

Lots, but I have taught in a bunch of diverse London schools and it's a name that works well across cultures, is easy to pronounce and spell and has a nice meaning. I also know a Dorothea!

Mumsnet hates Theodore as it's 'too common'
But people on here also choose batshit names for their kids.
Who cares? If you like it that's fine.
When we lived up north there were two in his class and lots of others around. But also loads of louis' Elliott's Reubans and George's. Now we are down south and there's none. But lots of sebastions, Alfie's otis' and Monty's.

I only know 1 but I know quite a few Theos some of whom may be Theodore.
I don't like Theodore at all. Theo and Theodore are so overused but that's not why I don't like them. I don't like the sound or look of the names.
Theodore - Baby name explorer
Theo - Baby name explorer

5 - ranging from age 20 to toddlers

No Theodore's but tonnes of Theo's

A few Theo's, but mainly teenagers. I really like it as a name but I'm in North London and not so keen when I hear the Th sound pronounced as a F!

Loads, probably 5 or 6? Lots of Theos and Teddys

I love the name but I felt it was too popular and chose to use it as a middle name instead

I know 1

Loads of Theos here..!!!

Teddy as in Teddy Bear 🧸? !

None. I think Theo is a lovely name

I know about five, but most of them are aged 8-12, I think the 'top 10' moment has passed now.

It’s the most popular name by a long way among DS’s friends/year group (year 7). DS has 4 friends called Theo (shortened from Theodore). I don’t know if it’s as popular for younger children. I think it’s a lovely name.

About five or six, mostly teens now, though a couple of them same age as my prep-aged dc.

I'm not a huge fan. It's fine, not a weird name. Surprisingly, I quite like Theodora. Perhaps it is the shortening to Theo that I don't like.

1 in my nursery plus a Theodora and they both go by Teddy. Luckily they are in different rooms.

I know 6 Theo/ Theodore’s. Mum of 4 under 8.

One. He's a handsome cat.

I love the name.
