Could Thomas's middle name be..

[upholsterer]

Dylan?

They are only names we both agree on.

Would people snigger?

Well......

What about Daryl

Hadn't thought of Daryl though it really wouldn't work with our surname.

don't do it!

Thomas James
Thomas William
Thomas Matthew
Thomas Edmund
Thomas Edward
Thomas Orlando
Thomas Oliver
Thomas Dexter
Thomas Henry
Thomas Harvey
Thomas Rafferty

I would certainly smile but I would never snigger...

We contemplated naming our DC Willy Nelson Mandela monster.
That would get sniggers.

«misses point» thoms dylan.....why not?

Given that I wanted to call ds2 John Thomas without the faintest idea that this was the most ridiculous idea in the world ... anything goes!

I should add that he's actually Thomas Alexander.

. He's not. He's Thomas Stuart. Alexander is ds3's middle name. Oops.

Thomas Dylan is nice. I can honestly say that my children very rarely have to use their middle names.

I like raisah names and add Thomas Andrew and Thomas Anthony.

I may add more as I work my way through the alphabet...

I think Thomas Dylan is lovely, my Thomas is Thomas Jacob.

I think it's fine. I doubt many people would realise!

I don't realise. Is there a joke somewhere or something?

I still haven't realised... so I would say you're safe

it's fine. Most folk as demonstrated above^^ have never heard of Dylan Thomas. More shame them

I know a "John Thomas" and he has had to go through life with people laughing at it.

Thomas Dylan would be a bit odd, but its your baby and your choice :)

Just be prepared for jokes and silly comments

Thanks very much for all your replies. I think we might go back to the drawing board with this one. However, I did notice that it was Wilfred Owen's birthday yesterday, and in keeping with the poet theme we now have Owen to consider. I also like Edward from raisah's list, so our list is growing a little

Dylan Thomas might be a bit iffy, but I don't see anything wrong with Thomas Dylan. I would think most people would associate the name Dylan with Bob Dylan anyway.

My nephew is Thomas Benjamin. I like Thomas Dylan, but then I'm a fan and see it as a subtle nod to a literary hero. Shortened ...Tom Dylan does make me think of Bob Dylan though....a completely different issue, probably my strange mind!

Whoops! Cross-posted.

I know a little Thomas David

Isn't Thomas's middle name "the-tank-engine" ?
