I'm due my first baby in November, and after 9 miscarriages I'm having a huge issue trying to make things feel 'real'. We're now trying to think of a name and obviously that all the names I've thought of in the past now just don't seem to work/feel right.

We're expecting a little boy, and the middle name will be Thomas. So far, our list for a first name is as follows but none of them are 'the one':

Arlo
Theo
Joseph
Nathaniel
Jesse
Albie
Reuben
Alex

Theo is probably our top choice so far, but if you have any suggestions to add to the list, we'd be grateful!

Frederick, james, Jason, Dawson, Darwin all sound nice with Thomas but Theo is lovely too.

Pollydidntputthekettleon · 06/09/2018 15:10

Joseph is lovely

Nathaniel - means 'gift' which is also nice.
I also like Joseph, Reuben and Theo.
What about Isaac if you like OT names? I also like (but was not allowed) Amos and Ezra.

I like Theo but don't think Theo Thomas flows well tbh. Arlo Thomas sounds better.l as does Albie Thomas. X

Congrats!!! I love Arlo and Joseph from your list. Both go well with a Thomas as a middle name. I like Theo but not as much. None of your names are bad, opinions will just be down to personal taste.

Joseph Thomas gets my vote also

I like Nathaniel or Joseph best.

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 07/09/2018 08:47

Joseph Thomas is lovely !
How about Adam Thomas, or Daniel Thomas ?

Joseph

My son in law is called Nathaniel, but he detests it, and tells
Everyone to call him 'Nat', much to his mothers disgust, as
She thought it was a lovely name.
