Which one? Baby due soon and can't decide which we like best!

I adore Tomos! I used to have an Uncle Tomos who was my mum’s godfather and everyone called him Tomo - welsh on my grandfather’s side.

Lovely man and a lovely name.

Congratulations on your little boy x

Definitely Rhodri, great name.

ShatnersBassoon · 27/11/2018 16:29

Rhodri. It sounds strong and isn't hugely popular.

Ah, MNers sneering at legitimate Welsh spellings again.

Lovely choices, OP. I don’t think you can go wrong, but it’s Rhodri, Tomos, and Harri for me, in that order.

They are the proper spellings... bloody hell, the baby names board is ridiculously Anglocentric.
Llongyfarchiadau OP! I love Rhodri, every one I've known is lovely. Harri and Tomos are nice but a bit too popular for my tastes.
I love the name Ioan too...

I'd go Tomos or Rhodri, I like them both.

The problem with Harri is it's pronounced the same as Harry which might lead to more confusion, whereas Tomos and Thomas are pronounced quite differently.

All lovely but I think I like Rhodri best Smile

Also, @lucieloos they're all lovely. Tomos is my favourite.

BumbleDevon · 27/11/2018 16:25

Ignore them!

Rhodri is great thumbs up

poblwc · 27/11/2018 16:25

Harri and Tomos are the welsh spellings @Hmmalittlefishy and are 'proper'.

Please spell them properly whichever one you decide on

Harry if it has a y at the end.
