Baby names

Tom & Romy

My husband and I are expecting our first baby and have realised we favour names with the ‘om’ sound. Something about it seems warm to us. Any other names out there with a similar sound/feeling?

A new update: we mistakenly discovered in a scan that baby is a boy. Which we’re thrilled about other than the fact we had settled on Romy for our DD Grin Now that it’s a DS we have to knuckle down with a boys name, but Tom is off the list because of a family member using the name in January!

I know this sounds ridiculous but we can’t seem to think of any names other than Tom. I like Noah but DH thinks it’s “too notebook”. We also like Sam but again, close family member has taken it.

Any ideas for us?

Thank you, I love Rowan but DH v lukewarm towards it. We’ll add Max and Arthur to the list!

Romy isn't an Om name, is it? I thought it was pronounced Rome-y.

Similar to Tom I think are Ben, Sam, Alex, Max, Dan, Fred/Freddie, James (Jim?), Jake, Jack.

Sort of traditional but short and cute.

If you like Tom, use Tom. I wouldn’t mind if my sibling used the same name as me especially with a solidly classic name like that. It’s a great name and trying to find one you like as much shows it’s the one you want.

Sorry a bit late to the party but love the name Ramona for a girl

Dan, Ben or Joe feel closest to Tom and Sam to me, though do think full names best for birth cert.

Luke, Jim (James), Rory, Rufus, Rafe, Milo
