Hello, due twin boys in a couple of weeks time and are thinking of using these names with Thomas and Edward on birth certificate for full. What do people think? Cheers Smile

My boys are Tommy and Billy but I did consider Teddy for DS2.

I know everyone on here hates “nicknames” as names but we love them and they suit our boys. It doesn’t bother me what others think.

Go for it!

Good I think especially since you’ll use Edward and Thomas so different initials and possibility for a more serious name as they grow up. Ted could well become Ed or Eddie.

Absolutely lovely!

I know a Thomas and Timothy.

I'd keep the Tom and think of something different instead of Ted.

I absolutely love those names! So cute.

I like the names but am wondering if they are a bit too similar. Nice to have different initials for siblings (for post/school ect) so you have that.

Tom and Ted are super cute, but Thomas and Edward is going to make everyone think of tank engines. If you are OK with that, go for it.
