I desperately want a son to call Teddy someday. My husband loves it too.
The problem is, he hates Theodore.
I have tried to defend Theodore by going to my family and friends for backup...but they all dislike it/associate it with Alvin & the Chipmunks. Maybe I love the name because I never watched that show.
Anyway, I think just plain old Ted is boring as a name, and Teddy is too childish to be his given name.
To give you an idea of my taste in boys' names, favorites are:
Joseph, Emmett, Simon, and something with the nn Teddy.
Any suggestions to fit my style?
