Is Thomas Thompson too much?

[glasspotato]

I’ve always loved the name Thomas but is it too much with our surname?

I think that works well 😊

😮Bobert Bobertson is my fake email contact name for marketing stuff!

Do it. It’s really distinctive.

I went to school in the early 80s, with a kid called exactly this. It still makes me laugh now and gets brought up when people are talking about odd names. Don’t do it OP.

Thomas really isn’t a nice enough name to warrant using it twice

There's a song that goes 'My name is John Johnson amd I'm from Wisconsin'.

Thomas Thompson is a comedy name, OP. Don't do it.

Yes, also too much.

There are so many other names out there...

It’s totally fine

(No it isn’t)

((you know this))

It’s not ideal

Daniel / Dan is better

Yes.
but but there is an Edward Woodward who is famous, and many others who have similar sounding names.
i personally wouldn’t got there, but his nickname will very likely be Tom-Tom or similar

Great name!

No, still too rhymey and possibly misunderstood for Tom

It's cool. Sounds like a name from a storybook.

You have Tom Thomas in fireman Sam

@LiquoriceAllsorts2 ,he's Welsh, and names like William Williams, David Davies, John Jones, and Robert Roberts are acceptable in Wales.

And don't forget Norman! At least he's matured a lot now and found a more positive and successful outlet in his life.

We are naming our little one Hywl (pronounced Howl) and Rhiannon (nickname: Nonny) of it's a girl.

Yes

Yes.

To quote one of my favourite shows "He's Bobby Bobby?"

Oh I love that episode with Dr Green 🤣

Ahem, it’s Robert Bobby.

Its memorable!

Thomas Thompson is sort of okay but most Thomases I know go by Tom, and then Tom Thompson is not a great sound with the repetition. I’d argue it’s a memorable name though, not terrible!

I really like it. I’m surprised by the negative responses here. I think it sounds charismatic, like the name of a rather dashing young man from the 40s. But I grew up in a country where men often had repeating names - think Sven Sveningsson etc.

We had a Stephen Stephenson at primary school and I always privately thought it was weird but no one else seemed to and he didn’t get teased about it.
