[Opinions] Re: Theodora.
in reply to a message by Siri
I like Theodora, but not Teddy. I don't usually like unisex nns, though. My favorite nn is Thea. I don't know if Theodora is pretentious or not, but never care about that.I really like Mariah (spelled Maria), Philip, Alistair, and Alec (as a nn for Alexander). I've always thought Alec sounded much nicer than Alex.

I worry about my kids having pretentious namesBecause my boyfriend and I are the opposite of such. I plan on raising my family in the Midwest and on a farm. As my dad said "Can you imagine yelling 'Raphael! Go outside to feed the chickens" or "Theodora, go clean up the manure" I can't.

I can...though it was generally "Theodora, how many times do I have tell you, DO NOT stand behind the horse!" =)

I guess my family is different. I can easily picture saying "Theodora please do not draw all over the score to my new string quartet until I am done writing it please." :)
