Which combo do you prefer

[Jaz369]

Hi Everyone
Twin boys due in the next two weeks. First twin and middle names are sorted - (middle being welsh and after my grandfathers).

First twin is named -
Thomas Rhidian (pronounced rid-ee-an)

Which do you prefer to go with......
A) Toby Gwyn (pronounced Gwin)
B) William Gwyn

William is another family name so all four names would have a lot of meaning - I really like the name but it doesn’t seem to roll off the tongue

For Toby We like the T & T combo as well as Tobes as a cute nickname

Definitely William, it's a classic name like Thomas. I just think of Toby as a dog's name.

I agree ^

Toby is a dogs name. William is classic.

I'd go William. I prefer the name Toby on its own but not alongside Thomas.

William

Def William too.

I think Toby Gwyn flows a lot better than William Gwyn

William. Only for the fact that I am not a fan of twins with the same first initial. William goes really well, i think you should totally go with that.

I have a Toby, he's 5 and we call him Tobes - I've never thought it as a dogs name. Plus I don't know one other Toby in his school or from any groups etc

William

Prefer William nn Billy

Neighbors dog is Toby

Prefer Toby but don’t like Tom and Toby so William .

But not Billy. Dislike Billy.

As the trend for dogs names is to have human names don’t think it matters if people know dogs called Toby. All the dogs I know are called Max, Charlie, Archie, Milly, Lily, Poppy, Molly, Stan, etc etc. I know two dogs called William. Yes really.

So dogs called a certain name? Doesn’t matter.

William is a lovely classic.

Toby is a bit cutesy and I don’t like matching initials for twins. You might end up with Tommy and Toby, which would be both very confusing and very twee.

Toby!!!

Prefer the combo Toby Gwyn, but prefer the name William and dislike matching initials.

William

William.

Thomas and Toby is too Thomas the Tank Engine. Not keen on Toby either. Tobias is nice and goes with Thomas.

Rhidian is lovely!

I prefer Toby, I've never met a William who wasn't spoilt, but that is completely a personal opinion and not meant to offend anyone.

I dislike twin names starting with the same letter so definitely William Gwyn - which is a great name btw. I do like Toby Gwyn but not with twin brother Thomas. And if you put Thomas and Toby together it's not only the 2 'T's that annoy me but you would have the serious kid - Thomas - and the clowny little kid 'Toby'. You have to have 2 equal but different names, and Thomas and William achieve that.

William. I prefer it as a name but also don't think the matching initials is a great idea. He can be Will rather than Billy.

Another vote for William

Thomas and William are both good names, with equal enough "room" for personalisation.

Love William and it goes very nicely with Thomas

William definitely. Toby is too informal next to Thomas

Unless you go with Tobias nn Toby. Then I choose that one

I’ve never met a William that wasn’t spoilt.

You’ve never met mine then. Or my dad, or my grandad....
