I haven't come across many- or any small boys called this name what are the thoughts on this name- I haven't heard it commented on in any of the other 'baby names' bloggs

OP posts:
Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

I wouldn't choose it, but I like it in a crazy 'its a bit sensible and because of that its quirky' kind of way. Like Simon or Christopher

I love it.

I like it but then its my brothers name. I don't think my brother ever had Tim nice but dim said to him but then he was pretty bright (and big that helps I'm sure )
It doesnt hold people back in any way. Think Burton, Roth and Robbins

The Tim's I've come accross aren't very atttractive either....

Sorry dont like it, i know a couple of Tim's tho but never refered to at Timothy. It reminds me of one of the Beatrix Potter characters.

No. Tis a hound's moniker.
