Re: Which one
in reply to a message by Bex
I'd pick Theodora personally. I've never met a Theodora in real life and it is so beautiful and classy without being frilly and weak. I also love all the nickname options that you and she can choose from depending on what suits- Teddy, Thea, Dot, Dottie, Dora, Dory, Theo, Tee etc. I know how much you guys love Winifred and I think Winnie is quite spunky but Winifred is one of those names that I see as "ugly but cool". I'm not sure I'd have the guts to name my daughter something that many non-name nerds will definitely find very unattractive. Great middle name though.I like Daphne. Lack of nickname besides Daffy may be an issue in Australia? I know my friends and family shorten everything. I might try and get ahead of that one by using the nickname Dee personally. I do think it is a good name and you have loved it for so long that you should use it if it 'feels right'.I've known a bunch of Edwinas- I've actually never met anyone with the other three names. It feels comfy to me because I can readily see it on a real person but the 'ween' sound is whiney to me. I've always found it unattractive myself but there is nothing wrong with it objectively.
