Brother or sister for Thomas

[Saloondoorcatflap]

We're thinking of possible boy and girl names to go with Thomas. We like traditional, particularly biblical, names. We like soft sounds. I love the name Noah but looking for something that's less popular at the moment as we know 3 young Noahs already.

Matthew was my first thought for a boy, or maybe Joseph or Luke?

Or Thomas and...

James
Benjamin
William
Alexander
Samuel
Daniel
Elliot

Grace
Lucy
Emily
Abigail
Hannah
Chloe
Bethany
Jessica

Daniel and Emma were my first thoughts

We love Samuel and Joseph. Girls names I'm finding harder- nothing stands out yet.

Thomas is just so classic- Noah is pretty but feels a bit trendy in comparison imo.
I know a couple of Thomas and Joseph sibsets - Tom and Joe just work great together.

As would James - Thomas and James are the 2 boys names (along with William) that are perennially popular in the UK.

Otherwise for boys I think Thomas and Daniel, Samuel, Gabriel or Nathaniel work well too (and I think the “L” ending fits your softness criteria?) Matthew is nice too.

Girls are a bit tougher - Elizabeth, Hannah, Abigail, Rachel, Mary, Rebecca or Sarah are the obvious classic choices. But maybe consider Anna, Lydia or Julia too - they are only briefly mentioned in the Bible but are also classic names that pair well with Thomas imo.

What about Rosie for a girl?

Sophie
Amy
Kate/Catherine

Thomases often have brothers called Samuel in my experience.

Thomas goes well with:

Henry
Percy
James
Toby
Edward
Gordon

or for girls:
Annie
Clarabel

Joseph is high on our list. James I like. Completely agree with Noah being too trendy. Which is a shame as I love it so much. This is the problem I have with girls' names. Love Ava for example but know so many Avas.

Really struggle with girls names. Martha and Ava are lovely names.

Martha isn’t too overused, that would be a great choice!

Joseph is lovely with Thomas.

Thomas goes well with:

Henry
Percy
James
Toby
Edward
Gordon

Trying to avoid any train connotations 😂

How about Noa for a girl?

Had toyed with it but it just sounds "boy" to my ears

I have a Thomas William

I would pick Ben or Joe or Josh

If Tom had been a girl he was going to be called Laura

If you like Ava, then maybe consider classic Eva? I know it was Eve in the Bible but Eva, though popular at moment again, is at least a very classic name - not as trendy as Ava (which is gorgeous but has suddenly become popular in the last 25 years, where as I know of Great - Grandma Eva’s 😁). Plus just like Thomas, Eva is so well used internationally.
