I do not want him to be Thomas, so please don't suggest that - even if you prefer it.

Should we use Tom or Tommy, on the BC? We will call him both, whichever one we put on the BC. However, I prefer Tommy.

Tommy is very popular in the travelling community (we have a lot of travellers in our school).

Ok, so you've rejected Thomas but can I ask why? Just it might ne nice for him to have a choice if he hates having a really short name that you can't do anything with.

Tom is lovely (I prefer it to Thomas). Tommy is a lovely nn but you never know with names like that if your DS might find it babyish as he gets older. Some boys / men wouldn't mind and would pull it off but I imagine some wouldn't like it. I knew an adult Ricky and a Jamie who both loved their names though.

Tom on the BC sounds better.

Tom. They always seem to be gentlemanly and very handsome.
