ADORE Avery & Ellis but both are being used on girls nowadays; which I don’t mind either.
Not a fan of Emmett prefer Everett.
I LOVE Theodore nn Theo not sure about Teddy.

I voted Emmett. I would’ve chose Ellis but I don’t like the same letter running together, it clashes to me.

Avery and Ellis are a bit feminine to me. Emmett is nice and so is Theodore. I like Teddy though consider Ted to be an old mans name. I’d go with Theo if Theodore.

I like Emmett a lot and that’s what I voted for in the poll but I love Theodore/Teddy best of all!
I’m very happy to see someone wanting to use Teddy for a change since Theo seems to be the currently trendy nickname for it.For some reason I’ve just never cared for Theo but Teddy is fantastic!

Another contender is Walter and "Walt" for short. Too old manish or cute?

I like Emmett best, but Theodore "Teddy" or Walter "Walt" are also nice.

I love Ellis but it doesn’t sound good with your last name - far too much S sound.

Avery Simons and Emmett Simons sound nice but I prefer the flow with Avery a bit more - I LOVE Theodore though! Teddy or Theo would be great nicknames and he can change them as he gets older.

Honestly you won’t go wrong with any of the three. GL!

I have a little "Theodore Grey" so I’m biased but I like your other names well. The resounding response when I tell people his name "Teddy" (after his dad), is "awwww" I plan to let him choose his name when he gets older (Ted, Teddy, Theo, Theodore, etc.) I’ve met a bunch of them over the past two years, which is surprising. Although I like the name Ellis, I don’t love "Ellis + Simmons" - too many S’s, it almost sounds like one word. Maybe Ellison instead? Good luck, you have some good, solid names to pick from that work well in any combination.

p.s. it almost sounds like, "Ellis Island" if you say it quickly.
