Theo
Theo, I love it but wondering if it could work on it's own? In the UK it's more common to have a nn as a full name than it is in the US, but being a name nerd I prefer a fuller name, but this (and Eliza and Greta) are the big exceptions. WDYT of Theo?

Love Theo! I'd prefer it as a nn for Theodore, but I surely wouldn't mind it on its own either. :)

There are some names that are considered nn's that bother me used as full names and some that don't. I'm prejudiced like that, I guess. :b This one bothers me. But that's partly because I love Theodore so much more than Theo, and I prefer Ted, Teddy, & Ned as nn's for it over Theo anyway. :) But I feel like Leo can stand on its own, so I don't see why Theo can't. It's less "nickname-y" than Millie, Maggie, or Evie, imo, which are used more commonly in the U.K. as full names than in the U.S., too.

I love it and I'm beginning to prefer it on its own than as a nn for Theodore. I love how its so short and spunky.

Def works on its own... short, strong, masculine, and unique!
