name question- first name suggestion

post #1 of 10
Thread Starter 
the middle names will be "Oliver Linton". but I haven't decided on a first name. I kind of like "Theo" and "Edric", but what names do you think fit well with "Oliver Linton"?

I don't care for two middle names. Oliver Linton is a great name all by itself.

I like two middle names! And I think Theo goes best with the ones you've chosen.

Yes, Theo is the best fit with those middle names.

I like just Oliver Linton! Oliver is on our short list of names this time around

would theo be short for theodore or theophilus or would it be just plain theo?

my dd has 3 middle names -- the more the better!!

I'm a big proponent of the idea that a first name does not need to "fit with" the middle names at all and should not be chosen for that reason.

Face it: barely a soul will know this child's middle name. Even fewer people will actually use it. He will be called by his first name his entire life, so that's the consideration here, not how it will look on paper with the two middle names.

I like Eamon Oliver Linton. I know, not a choice you posted, but I think Eamon Oliver sounds fantastic.

I really like Theo, as long as he has a full first name and Theo is used as a nickname.

theo would just be theo, if I use it. my dad is just "thad" so it'd kind of be in honor of him.

I'm considering using linton as a first name as well? thankfully I have many months to figure it out!
