Timothy

[Sophronia]

I never hear this used anymore. Is it awful or does it deserve a comeback?

I like it - Timmy is also cute for a kid. I don't know why more people don't like it on here.

I don't like it. It's outdated:

I think it's a great classic name! If you'd said Barry I might think it's dated but Timothy is still good.

I like it.

Love it - and I think it's one of the few names that are nice in all it's forms. Tim/Timmy/Timothy.

I like it.

Tim is a great name on a teen and then a man.

Oh no. Tim Tim, nice but dim is all I can think off. And Timmy is the name of the dog.

We love it

pp's rhyme has never entered anyone's head nor has anything been said by anyone else.

I think its such an unusual name for today's kids, we've met lots of adult Tim's but never another young Tim.

Love it

I really love it but Timmy was my childhood dogs name so don't feel I could ever use it.

I love it. It didn't even occur to me when we were choosing baby names (DS is now 10!) or it would definitely have made the shortlist.

Timmy is a sheep. . .

We did look at a lot of similar names (traditional names that people would know how to spell, but were currently out of favour)
Andrew
Peter
John
Christopher
David
Robert
Etc...

Sorry, I'm not keen.

Old fashioned and a bit wet.

Ruined by the god-awful south park for me. I know a Timothy my age and all through secondary and beyond he got Tim-EHHHH.

What the hell is a 'wet' name?

Tims are always nice! I saw something amusing recently written by a Tim who said you'll always find a Tim "hanging around in chunky jumpers making small talk about the weather."

Ok my old dad is a Timothy, but I was thinking the other day I really like it for all ages and all nicknames. Timmy very cute for a baby and young boy :-)

I like it but there is a children's program with a lamb called Timmy which is rather irritating, besides that it's a lovely name I put it in the same category as Nicholas.

A million times NO. Timothy is the drippiest name imaginable. I’ve met a fair few men called Tim in my time, not one of them has ever gone by the full Timothy. I don't blame them a bit.

I'm sorry I don't like it I'm afraid. As ClashCityRocker said - all I hear when I hear that name is Tim-EHHHH, south park ruined it for me.

A bit Tory M.P. for me.

Eesh I know a Tim who is always on the go and dynamic and sexy as hell... so I might be biased!

Great name - aren't enough names (as above), Davids, Roberts etc

I know a lovely 2yo Timmy, who isn't at all drippy, but it still says 'nice but dim' to me.
