It's okay, but I prefer the Ethiopian form Tewodros and Thaddeus.

I love Theodore, especially with nickname Theo. Teddy is ok as a nickname too.
Theodora is a nice name as well, but I prefer Thea. So Theodore is a bit nicer than Theodora imo.

Theodore is one of my favourite names except I prefer the shortened Theo. Not a fan of Theodorus. Teddy is okay, but I prefer Theo. And I prefer the masculine to the feminine version just because I love a tonne of girls names, and not many boys names so I like to savour the masculine form when I find I like a name.

I like it well enough, but not enough to actually use it. I prefer Teodor, Teodoro, and Teo to Theodore. I like Teddy for when he's young and Ted for when he's older. I think I do prefer Theodore over Theodora, just because I like other "dora" names so much more than Theodora.

Something I've been wondering: How're names of the day chosen? Is it random, or is there a system that I'm not aware of? Just something I've been curious about.

Theodore is awesome It's handsome and sweet at the same time. I love it.

---

Theodore is definitely better than Theodorus.

---

Yep, Teddy is cute. As is Theo.

---

I like Theodore better than Theodora. But Dorothea and Theodore might be tied.

I don't like the sound of Theodore. I think it sounds super wimpy, indoorsy, and about as masculine as eyelet lace. Especially if he is called "Theo."

---

I like Theodora much more. It's a good name.

---

The only variant of Theodore that I kinda like is Fedor, and Teo is alright. Ted is decent. Teddy is a childhood nickname, or else it's theatrically butch, like on Teddy Roosevelt. Theodorus is better than Theodore, but not a whole lot.

I love it! I only like the nn Theo. I like Theodora equally, with nn Thea. I don't prefer any male alternatives. I like Althea a lot too.

I love, love, love Theodore. I can't quite make up my mind which spelling I prefer though, the more international Theodore or Theodor, which is Swedish and how it's spelled within my family.

---

I like Theodorus as well, but not on a real kid. It's a little "trying too hard". My favorite nickname is Theo, but Teddy is alright as well. And I prefer Theodore over Theodora which I don't like anymore, although I used to.

I love Theodora, but not a huge fan of the male Thoedore.

---

I like Theo better than Ted or Teddy, but I could get behind it if I met one. Tad would be a bit cooler than the others too.

---

I always thought that if I was going to go bold with a Theo-name... I would go for broke with Theophilus.

---

I know a guy whose family uses Theophilus as a middle name for all the eldest sons (William Theophilus, Jr, III, IV, etc).

I like Theodore, and the nickname Teddy is so cute! I also like the Spanish & Hungarian variations, Teodoro (nn Teo), Teodor & Todor. I'm really not a fan of Theodora, though.
