Cinnae? Ciinaae? Seena? CinNaa? Sinah? Zinnah?
Cinna Mon for boys?
Sometimes I miss having powers... Oh. Oh! I know what this is! This is peer pressure! Any second now you're gonna make me smoke tobacco and--and have drugs!

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Context aside, I'd use the name Theon before Theo. Hypocritical for me to say, but Theo always sounded unfinished to me.

Theo L. Gee?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
And thus Senokot! Ugh.
Ha! Note to self: don't name child Senna.
I've come across a couple women named Cinnamon.
My dumb herb-name story is that my cousin named her son Sage years after my neighbors named their daughter Sage, so my first reaction was literally, "Isn't that a girl's name??" Der. And Ugh.

Because books.

But it's got the nice round O sound at the end! The N softens it too much for me.
But I love names that sound like that. I went through a phase where I wanted to name every one of the male characters in my romances Leo.

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix
Isn't Theo just short for Theodore? Or Theodosius?

I'm going to mis-speak about a name that's refusing to come to mind but I've spoken a gazillion times--I just don't know which one it is yet--I don't think I like a nice round O at the end. And I do like how the n takes it and winds it down.
Leo, still being clearly short for something.
We had a Molly in uni who, when asked if that was short for something, she'd say she was short (5' even) for no reason at all.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Sometimes, but it's becoming more and more common to make the short version the full name.

Molly used to be a nickname for Mary, I think. I can't think of what Leo would be short for except Leon or Leonardo or something.

Leonard is also cromulent. But I will accept Leonardo as complete. That o is a-okay with me.
The -eo dislike might come from my father having Galileo as one of his names. It's complete, but it's also hella ugly.
There's a time-sensitive invitation sitting in my work email about a "travel club". I missed the presentation, but they 'waive' the $200 initiation fee, dock $20/month from my paycheque, and: I can book travel through them; there are trips (whoop-de-do?); monthly specials (on what?); I don't sign a contract (coincidentally, if I don't join I also don't sign a contract, so how is this a perk?); and I could win a trip to Cancun.
I need to decide by today, but I DON'T KNOW. I guess I should just pay attention to the thing where I don't travel as much as I used to because I Don't Have It In Me, and let that be louder than the whole but-what-if-I-miss-a-deal? thing. I'd be spending $240 for something I don't understand, and if there's half a chance I end up taking a tour of the Holy Land with a co-worker, well, just toss me in a boiling tarpit right now.
