None of my family (apart from DH) like this name at all but we love it so much.

We want to call our little boy Timothy.

It’s lovely ❤️. Don’t discuss your name choices with anyone but DH and Mumsnet.

It's a fine name.

I have a Timothy aged 23 years.We have always called him Tim . He loves his name and his middle name which is John.

Am married to a Timothy.

He's never been a Timmy though, just a Tim. He says Timmy is too Famous Five, but I'm not sure those books are as popular these days?

I’ve got real affection for names like Timothy and Thomas.
Timmy, Tim, Tom, Tommy! Lovely names ♥️

I love it. I know a lovely Tim ( adult) who is part of a really lovely family.
Have never met a nasty Timothy/Tim .

@ThymeTravel

I was thinking that it's a name that evolves with the child.

Baby - Timothy
Child- Timmy
Adult - Tim

It's lovely

Baby could be a timmy when young and a Tim when older. It's a name that works for both a child and an adult quite well

Love it!! I wouldnt share potential names outside of you and dh because you will end up with a list as long as your arm of names you 'cant' use because someone once knew someone with that name and I didnt like them and it reminds me of them...

Dancingonmoonlight · 29/12/2021 23:54

I love it and Tim is a great nn.

vodkaginwine · 29/12/2021 23:53

I love it. It was on my shortlist for my ds. It’s a nice alternative to Thomas and a stronger name growing up than Toby imo.

It is a lovely name, with a long history and easy abbreviations. If you and baby boy's dad like it, choose it!

It's lovely! Smile
