Final decision - play safe or not?

[hw2004]

Right, i'm almost due and have finally nailed DH down to 2 name choices. I've done so many polls and i'm not saying there are names which i might prefer (i still like sebastian) but DH is just sooooooo picky that i'm left with 2 options.

Thomas Arthur/Thomas Isaac

Toby Alexander

I know a lot of people that i've told has said Thomas is a bit dull and that might niggle me a bit - DS1 is oliver and there are already 2 in his pre-school. However, i've already had millions of 'toby jug', 'my dog is called toby' etc etc so i'd have to live with that.

Any thoughts?

Thomas Isaac that is really cute. Thomas is lovely that was my choice for a boy.

Thomas is very popular, as is Oliver, no two ways about it.

But if it's a name you like then go with it. Just be prepared for Thomas S (or whatever) for his school career.

I like Thomas Arthur. What about Arthur Thomas (Arthur not nearly so popular, tho coming back (cf David Cameron))?

what's wrong with Thomas Alexander? or has that been covered and discarded elsewhere?

Not keen on Toby OR Tobias (in fact, especially Tobias as I know some PITA mum of one who gets v. arsey if anyone shortens it to Toby)

Also, if your surname is Hunt, steer WELL clear of Isaac as a middle name
