So after a lot of struggling with boys names and trawling through endless baby name lists, I think the name we will go for will probably one of these. Our criteria when looking for a name was nothing too popular that would age well, but we’re struggling with the not too popular part.

Which one would you choose? Surname begins with I if you’re someone who thinks about initials.

Milo Thomas
Bobby Thomas
Toby Theodore
Ezra Thomas
Levi Thomas
Jonah Theodore

Middle names can be changed so if any don’t sound right they aren’t fixed!

I love the name Joe but not keen on Joseph so would go for Jonah or (my fav) Joel. Levi, Ezra and Tobias are also lovely. Toby is a dog's name to me. Bobby has an old-fashioned feel but in a sweet way.

I know it’s not an option, but I’d pick Thomas Theodore, and use Tommy as a nickname if you like! I love both of your middle name choices. Thomas suits any age, and any background - the prefect name that doesn’t speak for the child. The other choices are all OK, but several are a bit too trendy and I feel like you hear them on babies and toddlers a lot more than Thomas!

Milo, also prefer Theodore as a first name.

I do love the name Thomas but it’s just a bit too traditional for what we would like as a first name. Toby Theodore also feels very traditional for us but we have mentioned it a few times and both go back to it (as we do with the rest of the list). Tommy was almost a contender but couldn’t settle on any middle name.

Tommy Joseph
Tommy George
Tommy Jacob
Tommy Levi

Levi is my favourite of your suggestions.

Gotta be Levi.

I voted for Jonah but I actually like Toby best as a first name, I just don't like Toby Theodore together!

Noah may be popular but there’s only one of them in my DC’s year at school. And one Jonah too!

There are far far more Oscars, Georges and Samuels at our school.

Jonah Theodore - both of those names are gorgeous!

Fontainebleau007 · 16/05/2024 12:39

Toby Theodore is cute :)

Thepowerhouseofthecell · 17/05/2024 11:20

Jonah Thomas gets my vote

The only name I really don't like is Levi from those options though.
