Help with name for DS2..?!

[miraclemomma]

DS1 is called Theodore Albert but we only ever call him Teddy. I'm trying to pick DS2's name that has a long version to go with Theodore and a shorter nn version that goes with Teddy. Please help...? Xx

Vincent Kendrick sounds best together I think

I like Leonard the best, and think Theodore and Leonard sound great together. Although I like Lenny, I do think Teddy and Leo go better together than Teddy and Lenny.

I like Leo but as Theodore can be abbreviated to Theo I am kind of wanting to avoid that nickname! My husband quite likes Leon as an abbreviation when he gets a bit older xx

Can I be awkward and say I like Leonard Elbridge! Although maybe Teddy and Lenny would be a bit too similar?

 

[miraclemomma]

Thanks guys! I quite like the similarness of teddy and Lenny without them being TOO similar! Problem is, I think I much prefer Vincent to Leonard, but prefer Lenny to Vinnie...why are names so damn hard!!! Girls names were easy this time...probably the first giveaway I was having a boy!!! X

Haha yes that should have tipped you off

I suppose it depends on what you think he would be called every day. If you're going to call him Vinnie all the time rather than Vincent would you regret not going with Lenny? (If that makes any sense at all!)

I know what you mean! I lean towards Vincent as it was my great uncles name so has significance. However dh leans towards Leonard as he doesn't love Vinnie (but does like Vin or Vince - however as a baby it would be Vinnie). It would be his nn 90% of the time...it's hugely rare we call Teddy Theodore xx

Theodore & Zachary - Theo & Zac x

My bad sort just seen the poll lol I really like Vincent - Vinny x

 

[miraclemomma]

Thanks cherrished! I likes zac but dh wasn't convinced! I'm wondering today if I like Lennox instead of Leonard (never been 100% convinced by Leonard but love Lenny). Does anyone think that Theodore and Lennox/Teddy and Lenny don't work together?! Honest opinions please? Xx
