Timothy?

[SneezySnatcher]

Just putting it out there. Still have a few weeks to decide, but I keep coming back to Timothy.

It's the name of a much-loved uncle, although that's not the main reason I've chosen it.

To be honest, I wouldn't choose it for one of my own but I know a few grown up Tims and they are all really lovely.

Cute as Timothy and I like TIM as a man's name.
Also you could nn him timmy.

Nice.

Mixed opinions! I do see what you mean about it possibly being a bit 'wet' but it'd be Timothy as a 'Sunday name' and Tim/Timmy most of the time.

I'll keep looking just in case!

I like it. It was on my list before i found out I was having a girl. I don'tget the 'wet' comments.

I like it.

Read a book recently where the toddler Timothy had the nickname Moth. I thought that was quite sweet!

Lovely underused name. A friend of mine has a nine month old Tim (Timothy on BC).

i like it. he would inevitably get Tim but that's nice on an older child or adult.

I wouldn't choose it but I'm not really a fan of names which will inevitably be shortened. I also know of an adult Tim who isn't a nice person and it would always remind me of him.

Then again I did have a nice Tim in my class at school and I guess he would be the only one with his name at school if you're looking for something more unusual.

Yes I also think it's a bit wet. Wasn't it the name of the mummys boy character played by Ronnie Corbett in Sorry? Sums it up.

Sadly it reminds me of Timmy the dog in Famous Five, and Tim-nice-but-dim.

Another one that thinks its a bit wet, sorry! Much prefer Tom, Thomas as a stronger sounding name

It's a nice name, but I too see it as being a bit wet.

Plus, Timmy just reminds me of the sheep in Timmy Time.

I like the name Thomas but, as a teacher, there is a certain lad who has made it a complete no-no for me!

Same goes for William, which is lovely, but we have five in reception at the moment.

We have the most a very common surname so, whilst I love traditional names, I want something that isn't heard too often to compensate.

I like it. I think Terence is due a revival too.

I know a lovely Tim! Therefore I like it. He isn't 'wet' at all!
