[Opinions] Theo pronounced TAY-o.
WDYTO Theo pronounced TAY-o, the Dutch way? THEE-o's nice, but to me, it's getting just a bit boring.[edited for typo]

I've always loved it pronounced Tay-o. But here (Canada) you'd always have to be correcting people's pronunciation.

In English it comes off as pretentious. I'd just spell it Teo.

I like the sound of Theo "TAY-o." But it's not very practical here in the U.S. at least. You'd have to spell it Teo, which is fine. But I like the look of Theo better.

I prefer the English pronunciation. My future daughter Theodora's nickname! :-D

I really like it.
I know of a boy named Teodor "Teo". I think I'd go with that spelling in an English-speaking country because Theo "THEE-o" is a well-known name.Teodor has brothers Sage and Luca, btw.

I really like it too. Very exotic! Might be a bit annoying to have to specify "it's TAY-oh" over "THEE-oh" every time, but, oh well. I find the French Théo very handsome as well. Ooh-la-la.
