My name is Theo, and I absolutely love it! I think it sounds nice both as a shortened version of Theodore and by itself! Also nice for androgynous/non-binary/genderfluid people (since I am, and it works for me)! I do think it's a bit cuter and more wholesome than the rankings make it out to be, though.

My name is Theo. I chose this name for myself when I began my transition, and it is NOT feminine. Just because it rhymes with a female name doesn't make it girly. John and Dawn rhyme, but John isn't 'girly'. My full name is Theo Benjamin Jay, and I love it!

Aaaalright, let's get down to it. Theo: pronounced THEE-o. I'm seeing A LOT of comments on here about how people think it's pronounced "TAY-o", but that's soooo incorrect! Get a life, guys, HONESTLY.
By the way, ugly name. Boys shouldn't be named such a feminine name. It rhymes with Cleo.

Theo is a handsome name and I love it with the nickname Elliot. It goes well with multiple last names. I seriously am going to consider using it even though I am an atheist and using this name is basically naming my kid god. But most people don't look into definition as much anymore.

To reply to the person who thinks her son's name means "gift": Theodore means gift from god, but the dore bit is gift. Theo is the god bit, which you can tell if you think about words like theocracy and theology. You named your son god, not gift. Nothing wrong with that per se, but get your etymology right.

Theo sounds like a boys name to me! I've never known a girl called Theo! Fi-Fi or Thea is a girly spin on the name! My son is called Theo and I'd never dream of calling a girl Theo.
Thea / Theo - very obvious which is a boyish name and which is girly.

Mommytotheo: you can pick and choose a name for your child but you can't decide the pronunciation. Where are you getting Fee-oh from?! There's no F sound involved with the name. You are obviously poorly mispronouncing the name or possibly have some sort of speech impairment, I reckon.
Its Thee-O or at least Tay-o
Wow...

Theo is much better than Theodore in my opinion, even as a standalone name.

I love the nickname Theo - for a girl. I think it makes an absolutely darling nickname for something like Theodora or Theodosia. It's got spunk and it's vintage, and I like the way it has an almost masculine feel but can still work on a girl.
Then again, I like it on a boy as well, so that's that.
