I don't think I need to mention that this is one of my longtime favorites, and very likely the name I would use for a daughter. A friend of mine and I have long planned to have a child together, but not yet. When we do, if it is a female, her name will definitely be Theodora Catherine, because it honors her brother Teddy, and her sister Catherine, and also happens to be a longtime favorite of mine. We had picked this name when we were in high school and our love for it has not altered. I would adore calling her Teddy or Theo. Actually this friend just had a daughter (Ella Sophia) and I went to the hospital and brought the baby a Teddy bear which we, of course, called Theodora. Her sister Catherine begged her to let Ella's middle name be Catherine, but Caroline replied "No, that is Theodora's middle name," and besides that Catherine and Ella's father do not like each other, so he would not stand for his daughter to have Catherine as the middle name. It worked out rather well actually :)

I have also considered Theodora Alice, but I think I need to have a separate child named Alice.
