[Opinions] Theo or Theodore?
Replies
The "Theo" bit is really the only thing I like about Theodore. I'd say it works just fine on its own. There's nothing silly, babyish, or undignified about Theo.
I've never understood the concept of picking a name for it's nickname. I'm Millie and my parents would never have dreamed of calling me Millicent because what was the point - I'd have always been Millie.
If you prefer Theo then go with Theo, I like both, in fact Theodore is on my list but as a middle name. Nicknames are quite popular as given names nowadays anyway, Hattie, Jay, Evie, and Ben are all used without their longer forms. :)

I agree with you. I used to like Theodore a lot until I admitted to myself that the main reason I liked it was because Theo was so appealing to me. So now I'm firmly on team Theo as a full name. I would definitely consider using it for my own child, and I have also met two just Theos and they had no trouble with their names at all.
