We can't use Thomas for a couple of reasons but it would be more likely to be Tam here rather than Tom.
So ds won't hear of any other name 😂

I also think DS’s suggestion of Thomas is a great one and goes well with James.
James and Tom.

Could you let DS1 have the casting vote? We did (having whittled the names down to about five choices).

He wants to call him Thomas after the tank engine Grin

I’d go for Adam of those two. Especially with current Prince Andrew news.

Would that really enter people's heads though? Surely it's such a common name that it wouldn't be associated with him?
Adam is growing on me at least.

So I took off the least popular, then DH and I vetoed various names (he vetoed Matthew and Luke Sad)

We're left with Andrew and Adam.

I really prefer Matthew but he hates it.
