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

My DS2 was almost a Thomas but we went with something else because my DS1 is a massive Thomas the Tank fan - I still sometimes look at DS2 and wish we’d gone with Thomas (although I do love his name!)

So my vote goes to Thomas

Tom definitely

georgialondon · 21/09/2019 21:58

It's popular because it's a great name!

Definitely going with Tom. He will be Thomas Elijah Joshua

Lovely names OP-just don't use all your good ones on one baby in case you have another and have to call him Nigel!

Thomas by a country mile.

Thomas!

Good choice OP, Thomas is great.

Thomas. Tom is also a lovely nickname..and I hate nicknames!

Josh makes me cringe a bit but I’m not sure why. I just hate the sound

Louisaouisa · 21/09/2019 23:18

Oh sorry, just seen your update! Lovely choice!

@thebakerwithboobs by the time I have another one I think Nigel might be back in fashion

@CarysRed Thomas a perfect choice

Just saw your update - I was coming to say Thomas is my favourite!

Thomas - only 0.5% of babies so in his generation quite rare
