I think of the Molly Ringwald movie "For Keeps" where she plays a pregnant teen and this what the name the baby, after the father's aunt.

Theodosia is terrific! It's got the glory of ancient Greece combined with the zippy nns possibilites like Dosie, Dodie, or Theda. Love, love, love it.

Ivy Theodosia is my stock combination for her. It makes me think of that old Andrews Sisters song from the swing era. I don't know the name but the famous line is, "Mares eat oats and does eat oats and little lambs eat ivy. A kid'll eat ivy too, wouldn't you?" I guess it's the "dosi-" part in Theodosia that reminds me of the "does eating oats" in the lyrics. Odd, but that's how my mind turns.

But let's see if I can get Theodosia out ot the back seat:

---

Theodosia Helen (too easy?)
Theodosia Lily
Theodosia Pax
Theodosia Nyx
Theodosia Justine
Theodosia Leonie (especially pretty with French "LAY-uh-nee" pronunciation)
Theodosia Pascale
Theodosia Mathilde
Theodosia Elin ("AY-lin" or "EH-lin")
Theodosia Liv
Theodosia Maxine (sisters Patty and Laverne would approve)
Theodosia Winter
Theodosia Lilith
Theodosia Nerys

I think it's very pretty. Always has reminded me of a bold wildflower. :)

I think this is a lovely name! Personally, I'm planning to use Theodore for a future son, though. :)

It's beautiful. It makes me think of marble architecture, but I don't find it too stuffy. I'm more of a Theodora fan, but I'd be stoked to meet a Theodosia.

I'm not really a fan of Theo names but I prefer it to Theodora (even though I love Dora) though the Theo part really does but me off
