  1. I named my son Theron because it was a family name and it was very unique. Everyone always comments how lovely and old fashioned but that the name has a strong presence. He loves his name!

  2. My name, Theron, has been mispronounced my whole life. I finally gave up correcting people. It’s a curse. My recommendation: don’t name your son, Theron.

    • I was teased and annoyed by people messing up ‘Theron’ until a few years ago. Theron is not French as I was led to believe. My Greek friends explained that is a respected name in Greece meaning ‘The Hunter Untamed’. I love my name now and feel proud of the meaning.

  3. When choosing a name for my son I used the same initials that I would have for a daughter. I already had a girl name so I worked with the same framework. I chose Theron because it lends back to my culture,as well as, that of my husband. When I first chose the name it was for this reason alone,but I also chose it to include my late father in this special time. His dear driend,and business partner who died tragically in a plane crash was named Theron. I chose the middle name Nicolas to play off my own. In my family it is a tradition to give your first born your middle name as either their first,or middle name. I wanted a name with meaning behind it,and that would allow those who have passed to be apart of this beautiful journey. In the end pick a name that speaks to your heart. Congratulations Mamas!
