I think Thomas is too popular and a bit dull.

Really like the other three though. I love Patrick, think it's a great name and very underused.

I like Thomas and Patrick, Patrick more than Thomas. They're both names I wanted to use for DS but couldn't as they're names of family members.
I love your other DC's names, by the way!

Patrick!

Ds is Patrick. Never had the slightest non-positive comment - and he's never met another one in all his 8 years! It's easy to spell and easy to say, and good for all ages.

He's usually Patrick, but sometimes Pat or PJ or Patch.

Love Patrick. That's a great name. I love Guy too.

My cousin recently had a Kit. Very urban chic. Hmmm. Quite like it. Not sure though.

Thomas has been done to death. Thomas and Alice together is too much uss and ass.

Patrick, definitely. nn Patch ...adorable but perfect for when older too

Kit is lovely (would personally name Christopher)
I'd personally vote against Patrick (& know 2 under 5 .. is it having a resurgence?)
Thomas is dull ... but not much not to like!

I do love Kit, but it might be a bit too "now" - there seems to be quite a few new baby Kits around!

I don't think Patrick goes as well with William and Alice so Guy it is?!
