Can you help me with the name John Teddy
| Wed, 07-13-2005 - 2:39pm |
What version of it is best:
John Teddy
John Theodore?
or??
I plan to call him by both names (it we go by this name that is) I don't like a plain John.
Also how common is it to call someone by their middle name??
thanks

I'd drop the two-name thing. I think you'll end up liking John over time, and if not, why not just name him Theodore and call him Theo? Or Teddy? Or, if you must, John Theo?
I know one kid named Blaine-John and that's what they call him. His last name is great--not too uncommon or odd and it fits perfectly with his combined first-name.
I like John Theodore better than John Teddy. Teddy seems too unfinished.
Have you considered John Edward? You could still use the nn Teddy.
I know several people who use a double name - John David, John Patrick, John James. I think it sounds fine. Your DS will have the option of using both, one or the other when he grows older.
My oldest (Evan) is actually James Evan.
