Would you go for Thomas or Oliver

[Mrsgrumble]

That's it really.
Thank You

Oliver but isn't that the no.1 name from last year...there will be lots

Thomas

Thomas

Both lovely but Oliver shades it for me

Love them both but it would be thomas for me!

Oliver, but both are good

Oliver. But I'm biased!

Thomas by a mile

Both, but I'm biased!

Thomas

I'm having exactly the same debate (though we don't know if we're having a boy or a girl)! I think we're going for Thomas, because we just about prefer the nn Tom. Good luck, I think either is lovely

Thomas - much nicer IMHO

Neither. But I know I'm in the minority thanks to the thousands born each year for the last 10 years at least.

Good Luck bramble

We don't know the sex either and I think it's a girl - but it's 50/50, as thy say so want to be 100percent happy with a boys name also

Thanks all. DS has a very traditional classic name. I love Joseph but cannot go for it, or James either (also love)

I think Thomas is a much safer option but dh prefers Oliver. I cannot make up my mind.

Not everyone likes Oliver

Thomas

Thomas

Neither.

Every other child round these parts is called Thomas or Oliver.

Thomas is timeless.

Neither.

There are SO many lovely names to choose from that I wouldn't choose either Thomas or Oliver, both of which are a little overused imo.

Thomas. Tom is much nicer nn than Ollie I think. Both strong names though and classic so either would do him proud I'm sure.

I like them both - but prefer Tom to Ollie as a shortening so I would go for Thomas.

I know it's not helpful of me, but neither. Those names are SO popular and have been for so many years (decades even) they just sound a bit dull to my ears. There's nothing wrong with the names themselves, they're completely classic and inoffensive, it's just the sheer popularity that would put me off.

Thomas
Know lots of Olivers, only one Thomas
