Theodore is a long, stately name that looks impressive in cursive. The Th opening is one of the most common letter pairings in English, so learning it here pays off everywhere. The middle section has the od connection that requires a smooth height change, and the ore ending wraps things up with flowing curves.

These letter pairs need extra attention. Here's how to connect them smoothly.
The capital T's top stroke is written first, then the downstroke curves right at the baseline into the h. The h needs to rise tall from that low connection point.
Close the o completely, then push upward into the d's tall stem. The height jump is significant, so commit to it.
The e opens to the right and curves directly into the o. Both are round, similar-sized letters, so keep them distinct by closing the o fully.
Break the name into Theo-dore when practicing. Each half has its own rhythm.
