Thomas or Joshua

[CarysRed]

Which name for our little boy? Last name is one syllable.

I vote for Thomas

so when he’s older he’s either going to be Josh or Tom. I just find them so bland and overused

Tom is nicer than Josh , which I do think is a bit wet sounding.

I don’t mind Josh or Tom @LuciferTheCat so which is your favourite of the two?

I like Tom/Thomas but am not a fan of Josh.

Thomas/ Tom.
Lovely name. ( think Tom is very cool )

I prefer Josh, but I have one so I'm biased ! Lots of Toms in our family, a couple known as Tommy.

Love Josh, although can be a bit of a tongue tie, "Josh's toys"... Tom is a good strong name.

Joshua, My older brother is Josh, it suited him as a kid and it suits him as a adult.
Thomas/Tom is way too over used.

Thomas is a great name

I must add I like Josh too, but if I had to pick one I’d go for Tom.

I think he will be Thomas, Joshua as a middle name

I like both but prefer Thomas/Tom.

Much prefer Thomas.

Thomas

I know about seven thomass, and 3 Joshuas. Both very common names.

Classic though

I prefer Thomas also

@YouJustDoYou I’m not bothered about how common they are

I have a Joshua Thomas

Thomas, definitely.

In my experience, Joshua is a 'naughty boy' name.

Joshua

Thomas is a lovely name. Also great as Tom. Far nicer than Joshua/Josh imo.

I have one of each! We haven't found them to be very common at all either no matter what the top name lists say. Why not wait until you meet your baby and see which suits him the best?

Like them both. Joshua is great because of Josh as a non, which is just gorgeous. Joshua is quite popular though.
Thomas is less popular, there's the Thomas the Tank Engine connection, which I think a little boy would love...but Thomas/Tom is less fun and interesting a name than Joshua.
