I was just wondering how popular is Thomas??

I know it's in the top 10, but how many under say the age of 5 yrs do you know??

Thanks x

There are hundreds of the buggers. I have one. My friend has one. There are 3 at music class. There is another in the tots room at nursery. That's just those who immediately spring to mind - I've met many more in the last year, and they're all under 2.

But it's a brilliant name, and we love it. In fact, we love it so much, DS' 'diminutive' is in fact his name twice. Grin

I'm not sure where all the Oliver and Jacks are but we know 18 Thomas/Toms all under 6!

Great name though and would be on our list if only we didn't have one in the family already Grin

I know loads but then I live in Wales!

Agree with Pesha that trends tend to be regional, my DS is Jack but he is the only Jack in his class and there is only one other in the school.

Don't know any under the age of 5, or indeed any under the age of 20!

I think there tend to be regional trends. I also don't know any Jacks around here but one of my mindees started reception in September and I noticed there were 4 or 5 boys called Kai in her class of 30!

It is popular but it is a great name. Top of our list for a DS.

Loads and mine is 5 :)

ReadyFreddie · 08/02/2011 19:37

Millions. It is the most popular name out there in my opinion (if you add the Tom/Thomas/Tomas/Tommys together)

GwennieF · 08/02/2011 19:37

DS is another... (aged 2)

ASecretLemonadeDrinker · 08/02/2011 19:35
