Is Thomas boring?

[17caterpillars1mouse]

Just that really. I've always like Thomas and i quite like Tom, though hate Tommy. But is Thomas boring?

DD has a rare name (given to 10 babies in total the year she was born) and I tend to prefer more uncommon names but keep coming back to Thomas

Thoughts?

It's a good solid name

I used to think it was but when my ds was born it just seemed right for him. He's not a boring child, just stolid, laid back and his sensible name suits him.

Well, my name I Tom, and I like it - but it was rarer in 1970s,1980s than it is now.

Name is not actually Thomas, though - which I am pleased about.

No not at all

Lovely name. Has a strong feel about it to me.

Sorry yes its bit plain

I’ve never met a bad Thomas. Or Tom.

But then I’m biased as we have our own at home

Yes, it's pretty much the definition of a boring name. I think even John is less boring (marginally) as there are not so many of them around these days.

Very boring as its just everywhere and so middle of the road/safe. Not horrible, but nothing special either.

Yes it's boring.

Yes, a little Tom, Dick and Harry like.

I have one so obviously I love it. It's been my favourite male name since I was a teenager. Plus we have a very unusual (foreign with changed spelling) surname that no-one has ever heard of, so it helps to have a very simple first name like Tom/Thomas to compensate!

I ha e. DGS age 6 named Thomas. Lovely name but very boring and common/popular. .

Thomas is a bit boring, yeah. However its a nice elegant, classic name. I think any child could be a Thomas. It's nice because it's not too popular but not unheard of. Theres also the Thomas the Tank Engine association which the child would probably love.
