We wound up choosing Tobias (Toby), but I figured I'd share the list in case you like the other names.</p> <p>Honestly, if he was born when we were in a different mood then he probably would have been named Theodore! We might use it later if we have another son. I think we would use the nickname Theo. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/name-question-1#post-2134507 Mon, 06 Apr 2015 20:27:41 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 2134507@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Lovejoy: we went through all of that and ended up with Theodore, Theo. Boy names are incredibly hard. </p> <p>Our puppy is named Gus and sometimes I accidentally call the baby Gus. But otherwise there is no name I like even remotely as well as Theodore. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/name-question-1#post-2134504 Mon, 06 Apr 2015 20:25:11 +0000 WinterBee 2134504@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Lovejoy: Love love LOVE Theodore nn Theo! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/name-question-1#post-2128797 Tue, 31 Mar 2015 20:23:17 +0000 Mrs. Lovejoy 2128797@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ellewoods84: @lady grey: Thank you! I am hopeful that he changes his mind. We constantly call him Teddy right now, but I'm noticing him saying more and more "baby boy" rather than that. I love Henry, Benjamin and Lincoln from the names you guys picked (others are already taken by friends/family) - but DH has vetoed them all. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/name-question-1#post-2128380 Tue, 31 Mar 2015 14:45:25 +0000 lady grey 2128380@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Lovejoy: Oh no, I love your choice!</p> <p>How about Jefferson, Sebastian, Christian, Sullivan, Lincoln </p> <p>(not sure why all my suggestions end in N....) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/name-question-1#post-2128315 Tue, 31 Mar 2015 14:16:28 +0000 ellewoods84 2128315@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When we were choosing names before we found out that LO was a girl, Theodore was number 1 on my list. I still like it--maybe your husband will change his mind? Anyways, some other names we were considering were Wyatt, Henry, Oliver, and Benjamin. Of course we had a bunch others which I can't remember right now!<br /> Edited to add: Rhys, Graham, and Reid </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/name-question-1#post-2127684 Tue, 31 Mar 2015 08:06:50 +0000 Mrs. Lovejoy 2127684@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Well this is the name we had settled on (Theodore, nn: Teddy), but now DH is having second thoughts. I'm 33W so we have a little bit of time, but I'm totally stressing out! Why are boy names so hard? If anyone has any ideas of names that might go along the lines of Theodore/Teddy, please share! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/name-question-1#post-1944917 Fri, 14 Nov 2014 12:45:21 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 1944917@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Theo </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/name-question-1#post-1944869 Fri, 14 Nov 2014 12:25:09 +0000 annie624 1944869@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My DH's is Theodore, too! If we have a boy, he'll be Theodore also. Personally, I prefer the nn "Teddy"--but that's what my MIL calls DH (everyone else knows him as "Ted") and I loathe it coming from her. Ha!! So for that reason, we'd be going with Theo--which I also like! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/name-question-1#post-1944844 Fri, 14 Nov 2014 12:14:50 +0000 Mrs. Lovejoy 1944844@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Dandelion: haha, I think he'll veto Beaver :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/name-question-1#post-1944837 Fri, 14 Nov 2014 12:11:32 +0000 Dandelion 1944837@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The Beaver. I never knew why they called that kid that.</p> <p>I voted Teddy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/name-question-1#post-1944766 Fri, 14 Nov 2014 11:35:57 +0000 twodoghouse 1944766@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love all the nicknames for Theodore! Such a great name! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/name-question-1#post-1944729 Fri, 14 Nov 2014 11:21:57 +0000 GoGoSnoGirl 1944729@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like the name choice, &amp; for a nn for him while he's little, I prefer Theo. :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/name-question-1#post-1944718 Fri, 14 Nov 2014 11:18:17 +0000 MamaCate 1944718@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Lovejoy: My default is Teddy but my friend just had a new Theodore and they call him Theo. I have known friends named Theo and I think it works for both kids/adults. They are both cute and it is a classic name--good choice! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/name-question-1#post-1944703 Fri, 14 Nov 2014 11:12:56 +0000 wrkbrk 1944703@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Lovejoy: Love it and it is on our list as well! Would 100% choose Teddy over Theo but that's our dog :) So if we went with this it would be Theo for a nn. Cannot go wrong with either! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/name-question-1#post-1944666 Fri, 14 Nov 2014 10:57:56 +0000 Mrs. Lovejoy 1944666@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Well at least it's sounding like they are both good options! It's actually weird for DH to like both because he's usually so picky with boy names! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/name-question-1#post-1944661 Fri, 14 Nov 2014 10:56:56 +0000 LuLu Mom 1944661@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I prefer Theo, I think it's more modern. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/name-question-1#post-1944660 Fri, 14 Nov 2014 10:56:44 +0000 PrincessBaby 1944660@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like Theo!

And we like the name Ted, too. I guess, technically, by that age they can choose too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/name-question-1#post-1944596 Fri, 14 Nov 2014 10:31:22 +0000 lawbee11 1944596@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Lovejoy: I kinda feel like Ted sounds more professional than Theo? I don't know...maybe that's because I'm used to it. My DH has Ted, not Theodore, on his resume, business cards, etc. I do call him Theo sometimes in a playful/term of endearment sort of way :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/name-question-1#post-1944587 Fri, 14 Nov 2014 10:27:05 +0000 Mrs. Lovejoy 1944587@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@loki: That's what I was kind of thinking too! I love Teddy as a kid and maybe Theo as an adult, but I don't know if that'd be weird transition. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/name-question-1#post-1944557 Fri, 14 Nov 2014 10:15:20 +0000 loki 1944557@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I really think they're both adorable but think Theo might age better. Although, he could go by Ted as an adult, as @lawbee11's husband does and I think that's a great option! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/name-question-1#post-1944536 Fri, 14 Nov 2014 10:06:47 +0000 hellobeeboston 1944536@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like both teddy and theo!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/name-question-1#post-1944534 Fri, 14 Nov 2014 10:05:04 +0000 lawbee11 1944534@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That's my DH's name :) He went by Teddy as a child and goes by Ted now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/name-question-1#post-1944532 Fri, 14 Nov 2014 10:02:06 +0000 coopsmama 1944532@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I prefer Theo. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/name-question-1#post-1944531 Fri, 14 Nov 2014 10:01:07 +0000 Mrs. Lovejoy 1944531@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We're 13 weeks with our second, so we don't know the gender, but we're starting to try and pick names. Boy names are so hard for us! We finally agreed on one yesterday - Theodore. Any thoughts on a nickname? </p>
