Harry and a brother named Thomas, or...?

We already have a little boy named Harry and have just had another baby boy! We're thinking of naming the baby Thomas, but I'm second guessing slightly because we've never had any other serious name contenders for us to 'try on for size' this time around...

Do Harry and Thomas/Tom seem like a natural sibling combination?
Any suggestions?

The sort of names we like are:

Harry
Thomas
Theo
Tobias (Toby)
Benjamin or Benedict (Ben)
Charles (Charlie)
Thomas (Tom)
Leo
Rowan

Thomas is nice

Thomas sounds perfect.

I know of siblings called Harry & Thomas

Thomas goes beautifully with Harry.

You put Thomas on the list twice - think you chosen already!

Thomas is my all time favourite boys name.

Haha, cluster feeding and sleep deprivation will do that to you! 🤣

I think you might be right, though... Little one seems to suit Thomas!

From your list, I would pick Rowan. Whilst Harry and Thomas go really nicely together, it's a very traditional combination and in my opinion a bit meh. Harry and Rowan is more modern , but I guess it depends whether you want modern or traditional.

I like Oscar or Oliver, though Thomas is nice too.

Thanks all, you've helped to reassure me! Baby Thomas it is. 🥰

Harry and Thomas sound perfect together. Thomas is such a classic, it's maybe even nicer name than Harry (though I like both!).
Rowan is my baby girls name so is a name I like for a girl, but just to warn you that Rowan does always get misheard for Roman (and other similar sounding names) and I'll be the first to admit it's going to date in a way that Thomas won't. Your list is really nice though, a great selection but I'd stick with Thomas, it's perfect. @Poppins2016
