Theodosia 🔥

If we lay a strong enough foundation
We'll pass it on to you, we'll give the world to you...

I quite like this name.

The Hamilton and "Dear Theodosia" reference is absolutely lovely. I also like the similarity to Ambrosia, making the name sound quite heavenly and feminine while being more wearable and easier to nickname.

Oh my, this is not at all the sort of name I'd usually like but Theodosia is so utterly beautiful. It's sort of artsy and bohemian, but also stately and classic, like the name of an eccentric noblewoman in Georgian times. It's a lot of name, but I think it could be wearable with Teddy, Theo, or Thea as an everyday nickname. "Dear Theodosia" would make a cute lullaby too.

I am a staunch Alexander Hamilton supporter, but this name is incredibly beautiful. I hope it makes a comeback,

too soon :(

This name is absolutely gorgeous! I had a great-aunt Theo and she was an amazing painter. So want to use this name for a future daughter!

I’ll make the world safe and sound for you…
…will come of age with our young nation

Theodosia is my favorite girls' name. <3 If I get to have a little Theodosia someday, her name would be Theodosia Irene. I'd call her Thea. <3

A gorgeous alternative to Theodora. I adore the nickname Dosia for Theodosia, but there are many potential nicknames - Theo, Dodie, Thea, Teddy, Daisy, Dosie, etc.

Theodosia Burr's nickname was "Theo", if I remember correctly.

I was thinking the same thing :)

You could call her Teddy. That's what I'm planning for my future daughter someday!

Her nickname can be Theo, actually now that I look that up that's a short version of the name and it's a name in it's self, So you could name her Theo if you want it to be less posh. :p

One of my favorite names of all time, and no, not just because of Hamilton.

its gorgeous but Alexander hamilton

I think this name with the nickname Tia is the best thing ever.

Gorgeous name. Nothing but good things to say about it! It's not made up, but stands out nicely, sounds beautiful, looks beautiful, has length and nickname potential, and is historical.

Theo-doe-sha

How does everyone pronounce this? I say Theo-doe-see-a

I much prefer Theodora, or simply Thea.

please let this name make a come back. it's adorable and so interesting and cool.

If we lay a strong enough foundation, we'll pass it on to you. We'll give the world to you and you'll blow us all away. Someday, someday. Yeah, you'll blow us all away.

This is such a Victorian-y fusty frilly name, yet also weighty and grounded-- something like Priscilla in my mind. It's a more offbeat eccentric-arisocrat version of Theodora. I really like the nicknames Thea, Theda, Dosie, Dosia (pronounced like Girls' actress Zosia Mamet's name) and Daisy for this-- it's definitely a nickname kind of full name!
Theodosia has a lot of spunk and makes for the perfect children's book heroine, as evidenced by the middle grade Theodosia Throckmorton series.

What about Theo? Or Dosie? Or Odie?

I want to name my future daughter Theodosia after the song, 'Dear Theodosia,' but I dislike the nicknamed Thea...should I just forget it?

You will come of age with our young nation. We'll bleed and fight for you, we'll make it right for you. :)

I'm dedicating every day to you, domestic life was never quite my style, when you smile...you knock me out I fall apart, and I thought I was so smart :)

When you came into the world, you cried and broke my heart <3

Never heard of this name before. Interesting!

Yes!!This is way cooler than Theodora!But it is a bit of a mouthful.......

You have my eyes, you have your mother's name :)

Dear Theodosia, what to say to you?

I know a beautiful Greek girl named Theodosia :)

I absolutely love this name, and as another user mentioned, "Dear Theodosia" is an adorable song for it to be related to :)

This name feels really over the top and posh to me, but somehow I can't not like it :)

Now has the added bonus of Hamilton's 'Dear Theodosia' - which happens to be a song about parental love.

Lovely and sophisticated! I'm stunned by this name:)

I love this name, especially with the nn Daisy!

I don't think of Theodora as cutesie, but I do despise Dora or Dorrie. Dosia is a much nicer nickname and this name has more edge to it with its lovely z sound.
