Thom or Tom / Thommy or Tommy

[LadyCLC]

If we decided to call our baby Thom/Tom or Thommy/Tommy which is the preferred spelling? I think Thom/Thommy looks a bit more classy.

Please dont suggest we call him Thomas as it is not an option.

Thanks

Thom is just pretentious.

Go for Tom/Tommy, otherwise he will have to spend his ife correcting everyone.

Why do people superfluous Hs at names - it's rife in the inner city school where I'm based and so so not classy

although there is more justfication for Thomas - Thom than for the likes of Kharls and Jhoes

Really don't like Thom or Thommy, sorry :/

It's like Jon - don't assume that this is the correct spelling just because it's the literal shortening of the name!! [Talking to people in general, not saying this is what your doing.]

Thom definitely looks like it's short for Thomas, and Thommy just looks stupid.

I also agree about reciting the spelling - I have a perfectly normal name with a perfectly normal spelling, but I still have to spell it out, and it's REALLY annoying. Having to spell out a name should only be the case for unusual names.
