Tom, Dick and Harry?

We're really struggling to find a boys name for our bump.

We already have a little boy called Thomas and are considering the name Harry.....

What do you think of the combination?
Does it make you think of 'Tom, Dick and Harry'?

no - you're fine unless you do the third!

I don't automatically think of Tom, Dick adn Harry.
Don't like Harry though, prefer Richard if I had to choose between Harry and Dick!
Thomas is lovely though.

I like Richard as well. Rich or RIchie musc nicer than Harry which is,well everybody else loves it so what do I know?

Tom and Rich wouldn't make me think of Tom, Dick and Harry

Like the name Harry but am finding it quite a 'popular' name in our region.

I have a Tom too
I like Harry but there is no way.
I would immediately think of Tom, Dick and Harry.
Sorry.

don't see it as a problem unless you decide to have no3 and call it richard
tom and harry has a nice ring to it imho

sapell3 · 16/05/2010 10:51

Yes I would think of it.

Cashew · 16/05/2010 13:31

Thanks all, mixed thoughts.
I guess that if it makes me think of the 'missing Dick' then even if no-one else mentions it maybe the name wont work! I also might be tempted to start calling DH Dick!
Back to the drawing board.

I know a boy whose name is Thomas Richard Henry

I don't think Thomas and Harry would make people think of it though

pixiestix · 16/05/2010 16:11

Yep, I would be looking for the Dick iykwim!

They are both lovely names, it wouldn't occur to me but who cares anyway!
