Teddy is fine. Theodore and Theo are pretentious.

+1 to Theodore for boys.


Not that I should care what the internet thinks, but is this only for kids who go by Theodore or any who are named that? Ours is always Teddy and I know a few Theos as well.

Thought of more; pretentious nicknames for young children

Examples; Elizabeth nicknamed Betty (for a kindergartener), Kitty for Katherine, Hank for Henry,Dottie for Dorothy. Ugly-chic and try hard.




I don’t get it - all of these are standard (somewhat vintage) nicknames for these names.

I agree that a child’s name cannot “scream” anything.

Except Hugh.
