I know both are very popular, but which do you prefer? Thanks in advance.

George!
Thomas is fab too.

George. I always find Thomas a bit wet.

Thomas

My sister has both! Now lovely young men. Tom is the elder.

Gosh, thanks for all the replies! I think they do have a similar vibe. I also love just Tom which I'm sure Thomas would get at some point. I'll just have to have 2 DSs!

Thomas

MavisCrouton · 01/11/2016 23:01

I have a Thomas George.

BrieAndChilli · 01/11/2016 23:00

I have a George (predates the prince!)
It's always been popular and always will be, there will be a blip of more George born around now but in 20 years time no one will honk twice about it (do you ask every Elizabeth and William if they were named after the royals??)

i think George is more popular at the moment but Thomas not as much yet so lovely

My whole pregnancy I was set on Thomas & then had a girl Grin. That was 12 years ago & I still love the name.

Popskipiekin · 01/11/2016 22:38

George is awesome name (biased - DBro is one). Ignore any niggles re royal-influenced popularity - if you like it, use it. Thomas is also excellent. Either a very good choice.

JudgeJudySheidlin · 01/11/2016 22:26

George but only by a tiny margin.

RoseGoldHippie · 01/11/2016 22:20

George!!

Actually love that name :)

kmini · 01/11/2016 22:18

My DS is Thomas and DH is George. People always get them messed around, which leads me to believe they are very similar names. So either! Obviously you have great taste!

DramaAlpaca · 01/11/2016 16:23

Thomas

SausageSoda · 01/11/2016 16:22

George.

EdenFalls2016 · 01/11/2016 16:20

George, but I really like Tommy, so maybe Thomas Grin really helpful

DiegeticMuch · 01/11/2016 14:07

Thomas.

We are not helpful are we?? I think it's neck-and-neck. :-)

Friolero · 01/11/2016 12:50

I prefer George

Thomas, but only if you like Tom.

Bananice · 01/11/2016 11:05

I wanted DS to be George but DH disagreed, so I vote George!

BadToTheBone · 01/11/2016 10:56

George

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 01/11/2016 10:52

George.

Thanks, I realise this is probably the most boring question to be asked on this board. But I like one, husband the other...just curious about which one people prefer...
