So think we have it down to two, I have a preference as does my husband.

Tommy Douglas. (The name Tommy Douglas goes back the last 5 generation of men on my side, and Tommy the last two in my husbands) skipping only our parents. My fear is it's a bit "overdone"

Stanley Thomas, ( this was our boy name of our DD had been a girl, and always the name I imagined our son)

Stanley Thomas is nice. He could be anything.

Tommy Douglas is also nice. I imagine a sportsman, a dare devil pilot or singer in a band. The name is casual and suits a youngster at heart.

Thomas Douglas has the two 's' endings but I still prefer the full name Thomas. I like the option of a formal name, Thomas.

First names are used the most.
Of all the names I prefer Thomas as the first name..
Of the names remaining I prefer Douglas.

I like Stanley and Thomas but not Tommy unless it's a nickname.

Thank you for opinions, it wouldn't be Thomas. It would be Tommy, which is the family name x

I would choose Stanley because it sounds like that's what you prefer. I wouldn't choose a name I was less keen on for family reasons.

How about Stanley Tommy Douglas?

@Whydoitry I'm so conflicted! I'm hoping when he comes out he will look like one of them!

Definitely Tommy. Stanley is quite try-hard, but any variety of Thomas/ Tommy/ Tom are lovely and solid names.

I prefer Tommy Douglas but it sounds like based on your own thoughts that Stanley Thomas is the name you should go for! (Also nice!)

Agree with PP - Tommy Douglas is much nicer to me, but I can tell you'd like Stanley Thomas more!

Tommy Douglas isn’t good. Thomas Douglas doesn’t go. Stanley Thomas is the infinitely better option.

Out of all Douglas, but with your options, Stanley Thomas definitely. All Tommys I’ve met have been absolute 💩s

Tommy isn’t great as a full name.

So Stanley

Don't like Tommy, although I have a Thomas, known as Tom, which I do love.
Don't like Stanley at all. Stans wear flat caps and drink pints of mild.
