Simon or Timothy

[belindarose]

Baby boy due imminently. These are our two chosen names (middle name will be after my late grandfather). Think we would shorten to Tim, maybe Timmy as a baby/ toddler.

Anyone care to share their thoughts? Or suggestions in a similar vein (not too 'of the moment', but an ordinary sort of name).

Love both but think you should go for Simon

Simon

How about David, Peter, Michael, John, Stuart, Gregory, Edward, Aidan, James, Nicholas, Julian, Miles, Philip, Adam, Tristan, Jonathan, Richard?

Tim - 100%

Timothy is lovely, good luck! :)

I quite like them both but I think I prefer Simon.

Really don't like 'Timothy'. It just conjures up a certain type of child / man in my mind. Sorry.
Simon OK though.

I like both but prefer Simon.

I know a lovely 13 year old Timothy, very cool! Not too keen on Simon due to lack of nicknames, can't imagine a little Si but could imagine a little Tim.

I think they are both vile, sorry.

Prefer Simon but what about Simeon?

Timmy reminds me of the kid in south park...those who have seen it will know why that's not such a good thing!!

I vote Timothy - my half brother is called Tim and it suits him a lot more than I initially thought.

I don't like Simon - I know about 10 of them my age (I'm 23) and none of them are friends. Haha!

Simon. It's a lovely name, one of my favourites (and DS5's mn)

Timothy, definitely.

Tim is lovely.

Simon the pie man Tim nice but dim Timmy time... not looking good!
