Re: Theo
in reply to a message by jeziana
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.
