We are thinking about baby 3 we have Amy & Thomas.

Lately I'v been crushing on the NN Teo only name I can think of using as the full name is Theodore. We have 2 other names on our list which are Edward & Harry. Which boys name do you think sounds best with Amy & Thomas. Last name sounds like Picture.

Theodore Richard
Edward Richard
Harry Anthony?

A couple other names we like are Tristan, Stanley & Vincent.

#Teo

I'd use Theodore "Theo", but I know someone who has a son named Matteo "Teo" too.

From your suggestions I prefer Theodore (it's one of my absolute favorites) but I think that Edward sounds best with Amy and Thomas. Or Vincent.

Matteo nn Teo is the original name from the story I was reading. I really don't like Theodore. I was just trying to get Teo without it sounding silly with Amy & Thomas. Edward has always been out no 1 choice since having Thomas.

Matteo Tristan
Matteo Vincent
Matteo Richard
Matteo Anthony
Matteo Edward
Matteo Henry

Harry Matteo
Tristan Matteo
Anthony Matteo
Vincent Matteo
Edward Matteo

I think any of them would go okay with Amy and Thomas, though I really dislike Stanley, and Theo seems a more natural shortening of Theodore to me.

I love Matteo but I don't feel comfortable using it as it's Italian and we have no Italian relations. I love Matteo with all those first names but I don't like using the middle name. My grandmother goes by her middle name and she can't even remember her first name.

Theo is the natural shortening for Theodore, however I know 2/3 Theo's (Just Theo) so I don't want to use it.

Matteo has been semi-popular recently in several countries. None of the younger Matteo "Teo"s I've met or heard about were Italian.
...so if you love it, I don't think that's a barrier, at least objectively. Or not much more so than Theodore being Greek would be.

I think to me as I'v heard Theodore/Theo on a lot of kids. I know a lot of names get used out of countries however it's not something I feel comfortable doing.

I am considering using Matthew nn Teo.

I wouldnt use another name starting with T. Edward or Henry go well. to continue the a and m in all names - Liam, William, Michael, James, Callum, Hamish, Graham, Martin, Mark, Malcolm, Matthew, Maxwell
others Christian, Daniel, Stephen, Patrick, Robert, Peter

I've never wanted 2 of the same initals, I'm just trying to do the Teo thing. The a & m thing we was not trying we just liked both names. I'v never liked Henry for some reason.

William nn Liam - This one is on our list I'v just never been 100% sure on using it.

Callum - I like the name but it feels to modern for me.

Hamish - I'v always liked this name but Amy has a friend called Hamish.

Matthew - Teo is a NN for Matteo which is the Italian form of Matthew. Do you think that could work? Would it matter that I have a cousin called Matthew nn Matt.

Patrick & Robert - are both nice. If we used either they'd be on our middle name list.

Peter, Michael, James, Graham, Martin, Daniel, Stephen, Mark, Malcolm, Maxwell & Christian are all nice however there is one or more in the family already with these names.

I think Edward or Harry sound best with Amy or Thomas. What about Edward Theodore or Harry Theodore nn Teo?

- MrsK2018 (guest)

7/15/2019, 8:10 AM

Edward & Harry are our top 2 names. I did consider using Theodore as a middle name however I just keep thinking that my nan can't remember her first name as she goes by her middle name and I didn't want that.

How about Theodore "Teo" Harry?

- MrsK2018 (guest)

7/15/2019, 8:06 AM

Harry was a name we wanted to use as a FN it was going to be Amy's name if she was a boy.

Theodore Harry sounds ok I will add it to the list.

From the group: Theodore Richard (Edward Richard & Harry Anthony both sound weird to me. They don't flow as well, H.A especially)

Another suggestion: Theodore Stanley ♥

Richard is a Family names so it is not changing as a middle name unfortunately. I did think of doing Tristan/Theodore Edward O...… and then using Teo.

We have Harry B...….. on our list also (B which is my maiden name).

Stanley. I'm not really sure on as a middle or first name. TBH I really don't like the name Theodore. Matthew I know is the English version of Matteo but I don't know if Teo would work with that?

I like Edward the best with your surname and with Amy and Thomas.

Teo could also be short for Matteo, I know quite a few Matteos called Teo.

I was reading a story where Matteo nn Teo was the main male character but I don't feel comfortable using Matteo as we are not Italian.

I did consider Matthew as Matteo is the Italian version of Matthew, but I have a cousin called Matthew so I'm not sure on using it.

Could Teo work as a NN for Edward? We'd use Teddy as a NN if we used Edward.
