Right, baby was born a week ago. Need a name. I keep flip flopping.

Surname begins with a T and is two syllables. Middle name begins with R and is two syllables. Not sharing as it's a massive give away if we know anyone on here.

So the options are:

Joseph
Thomas
Dylan

With Joseph, concerned that ppl might call him Joey. Fine with Joe - actually really love it for 5 years onwards and think it gets better with age. We're not big on religion and mindful that it's a biblical name so that's a con.

Love Thomas but we have a surname beginning with T so I don't want the name to be considered tacky or for baby to hate it when he gets older. Love Tommy if it's shortened but again worried it's a bit cartoonish with the T double syllable surname. Also love Thom as a shortened version but DH isn't a fan and this shortened version doesn't flow too well with surname.

Like Dylan as a third option because it's simple, whimsical and can't be shortened but not in love with it like I am Thomas or Joe.

All comments appreciated! Finding this really difficult!

I think names with the same letter sound the best tbh.

Definitely prefer Thomas and Joseph over Dylan. Like them both equally. Go for Joseph if the alliteration sounds silly but if it doesn't you're good to go
