Help[Opinions] Theo/Bartholomew
Could Theo be a nickname for Bartholomew?? Plus what is the best spelling of Bartholomew?

No, as there's no 'Theo' element in the name

Bartholomew would have been the name of my dh's sister had she been a boy. It's nice enough though I've never seen another spelling for it. While I like Theo (as a nn), it doesn't seem to flow organically from Bartholomew. Other than the shared th, I don't really get it.

No. That is too far a leap to be logical to me.
Bartholomew has other spelling options? I think that is the best one.
Nicknames:
Bart
Barty
Barto
Barth
Bartho
Bolo
Tholo
Lomy
Barlo

Is there another spelling of Bartholomew? Assuming you want the pronunciation bahr-THAHL-eh-MYOO this is the only spelling that makes sense.
I right away understood where you got Theo from in Bartholomew. I don't mind nicknames that aren't totally typical.

It could work. Funny I never thought of that before. I like Bartholomew, but I'd never use it because I hate Bart. Still, it would be hard to avoid.
Personally I prefer Bartholomeus over Bartholomew, but Bartholomew is fine.

I think it could work. They both have similar sounds. And I've always thought Batholomew was the only spelling, but I may be mistaken. I love Bartholomew!
