A brother for Thomas

really struggling on potential boys names - baby due in 4 weeks! Big brother is Thomas William. Father is Irish, we are happy with Irish or English names. Cannot find one we agree on! I like James, Andrew, Daniel or something along these lines. He loves Darragh. Any suggestions gratefully accepted!

Patrick round here gets shortened to Patch which is gorgeous.

Patch? Like a contraceptive patch? Skin patch?

I much prefer Patrick! Or Pat or Paddy!

Does Thomas like trains? Only asking as my nephew was heartbroken that his brother James had a train named after him and he didn't, he called himself Thomas for a couple of years.

Thomas and James, Percy, Edward, Frank.

Darragh is nice.

Also thought of Robert or Gregory.

@PhoneLock we did actually joke about that last night... it's getting to that stage now!
Patrick is another one I love, he doesn't because of the shortening to Paddy. And Matthew we like but can't use because my husband can't say it - his accent pronounces it Mattchoo, and it sounds like a sneeze!
