Thomas?

Will shorten to Tom, with the middle name Joseph, surname Alwyn. He has an older brother called Edward Charles (Ted for short) and me and DH thought Ted and Tom sound like a cool combination for brothers names. What do people think? Thanks Smile

I have a Thomas (though we don't shorten it as my Dad is Tom). It's a great name Grin to me, it's one of those names that never goes out of fashion and suits every age from small boys to old men!

Yes. It’s great.

Great name

Yes, really good. Go for it!

NatashaAlianovaRomanova · 21/06/2020 21:29

Love it but I'm biased as it's DS's middle name after my stepfather.

Love Joseph too - this is my favourite boys name but didn't use it as it's also my brothers name & I have 6 brothers so it felt unfair to use one of their names.

Good name. Very popular in the 50s. Now it is less popular lately.

Masc. proper name, from Greek Thomas, of Aramaic origin and said to mean "a twin" (John's gospel refers to Thomas as ho legomenos didymos "called the twin;" compare Syriac toma "twin," Arabic tau'am "twin").

I have an 18 year old Thomas , he is Tom and has been since starting school. Thomas when he is annoying or TomTom but not Tommy 😊

Skybooks · 21/06/2020 21:55

Fabulous name, I have a Thomas Joseph too.

mrs87 · 21/06/2020 22:04

Love it! The combination with the middle and surnames is lovely too.

Oxfordnono12 · 21/06/2020 22:06

Love the name Thomas, we have a Thomas Joseph. He gets TJ or Tommy.

SmiledWithTheRisingSun · 21/06/2020 22:09

Meh

Spidey66 · 21/06/2020 22:09

Love the name. It was my dad's name. Agree it's timeless and suits everyone from a baby to an old man, and fits in with all kinds of social groups.

NotNowPlzz · 21/06/2020 22:10

I find it boring. Edward Ted much nicer.

finallychangedmyusername · 21/06/2020 22:11

Great name, you can't go wrong with Thomas/Tom.

TildaTurnip · 21/06/2020 22:14

I too love it. I think it is a great name and in no way boring. The middle name is lovely too.

123Dancewithme · 21/06/2020 22:22

Lovely!

POP7777777 · 21/06/2020 22:24

Yes! 👍👍

Pippilangstrumpfi · 21/06/2020 22:28

Very popular and a little dull imo.
