Tom, Dick and Harry?

We're really struggling to find a boys name for our bump.

We already have a little boy called Thomas and are considering the name Harry.....

What do you think of the combination?
Does it make you think of 'Tom, Dick and Harry'?

I don't automatically think of Tom, Dick adn Harry.
Don't like Harry though, prefer Richard if I had to choose between Harry and Dick!
Thomas is lovely though.

Like the name Harry but am finding it quite a 'popular' name in our region.

I like Harry but there is no way.

Sorry.

Thanks all, mixed thoughts.
I guess that if it makes me think of the 'missing Dick' then even if no-one else mentions it maybe the name wont work! I also might be tempted to start calling DH Dick!
Back to the drawing board.

I know a boy whose name is Thomas Richard Henry

I don't think Thomas and Harry would make people think of it though
