Theo-Jett is incredibly bizarre. I adore Tessa Romilly.

Theo-Jett seems a bit modern for the kid to be a junior, with both names being currently trendy. And it seems like the father goes by his middle name, Andi for short? And then there's Tommi... Are masculine nicknames ending in I a UK trend? I've never seen it here. Andi and Tommi would be feminine nicknames here, for Andrea and Thomasina or whatever.
In the UK, we don't really use the name Junior in the same way as Americans do. It's pretty unusual actually. It's normally just a nickname here. I'm guessing they're just using Junior as a name in it's own right, not that he has the same name as his dad. Andi for men is unusual but not unheard of. There was a TV presenter here Andi Peters.
According to the database Tommi is a Finnish name and the mother's name is Hanna which is also Finnish and used in other Scandinavian countries so I'd assume that's why they've chosen that spelling. They're not necessarily British.

Ah, okay. I didn't know that about Junior, or that Tommi is also Finnish. I learn something every day here! (*The More You Know*) There's usually bound to be some explanation completely different than what I come up with :)
