Timothy

[Sophronia]

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

Of course it's old fashioned, it's a Biblical name. Can't get older than that. Maybe it's not a popular name but in this day and age of Jaxons, Rileys and Jaydens and other surname names it might be a breath of fresh air.

My dad's name, and one of DS2s middle names.

Tim is a great name, due a revival!!

Tim by itself is fine. It's the 'othy' that pushes it over the edge.

My dh is called Tim but he hates being called Timothy, only his mum does it sometimes

I'm not sure about the full name for a little one but Timmy is quite cute. And my Tim is awesome so I'm biased.

I like it! Nickname Moth. (Note: my son is not called Timothy nn Moth, because DH).

Well done that DH. Moth?!

Tim Farron wouldn't like you saying that!

A lot more positive responses than I'd expected!

It was our cats name.
I think it sounds very strong.
A bit like Gregory. One l like too!

I know an 18 year old called Timothy. He acts old and I don't even know any old men with the name so it just be outdated. I would say I hate the name but would put it in the same category as Brian, Pete.

*i wouldn't

My Tim isn't drippy nor dim! He's outgoing, chatty and quirky! Only gets called Timothy when in trouble , only one adult friend calls him Timmy but a couple of his age friends call him that too. Mostly he's called Tim by all. I sometime call him Timbo. He suits his name! It is a family name for us though that's not why we chose it. I'd love it to become a little more popular!

I don't like it. Seems a bit 'wet' to me.
And I knew a dog called Timmy.

Love it. I don't think it is 'wet' (but not sure what that really means either!) or too dated. I like other names of that ilk too such as Christopher and Andrew.

Nice

I met a cowboy yesterday (a real one, am in Canada) called Tim. Nothing wet about that guy.

I like Tim but dislike Timothy or Timmy
Most Tims I know are in their 40s now and I have never come across one that uses his full moniker
Unfortunately the name Timothy was ruined for me by thd sitcom 'Sorry'

I really dislike it but am probably biased because I've met 2 really vile Tims/Timothys
