A brother for Thomas

28 replies

We’re fond of strong traditional names (Henry, Joseph, James, Theodore etc.) but for various reasons we don’t want the name to begin with H, J or T! All the other names we like seem to be already used by family/friends.
Any ideas?

Has this helped @MoxyRio

It doesnt matter if friends or family have used the name, really

I does matter, as the whole point of naming someone is to identify them. Having two Toms or Harrys in the same family can get confusing Grin

MoxyRio · 13/05/2020 12:13

It has helped, thanks everyone!
We’ve added
Isaac,
Charlie,
Benjamin and
Edward to our list!
We love George and Luke but there’s so many names to choose from I don’t think there’s any need to give our son the same name as one of our cousins!
