[Opinions] Timothy...
A name I've started to like recently.I know it's over used in some English speaking countries, but doing a quick statistic data base search, I learned that there's only 162 persons named Timothy here in Denmark. That astonished me quite a bit, since I thought that there would many more.Wdyto it?

I actually quite like it. Tim is a name that you hear a bit here in Australia, but not for babies. It's still not an ultra common name. It's strong and masculine and has a great meaning too.

I like the name, its classic. However, it is too over used for me, not to mention its my dads name and I dont get along with him. Not fond of Tim as a nn though.

This is one of those names that I like as a full name, but I dislike its nn's (Tim, Timmy). So I'd probably never use it for a fn. But I like that it's recognizable, classic, non-trendy and not overused (for the most part).

It's my little brother's name. I like it a lot, but I've noticed that every single Timothy goes by Tim after age 10. My brother won't even acknowledge his full name.They will see us waving from such great heights,

I've noticed that too. I don't think I've ever met or heard of a Timothy who went by his full name.

I agree, and it's a shame. :(

I like it a lot. It's a beautiful name.
In Germany the name Timothy isn't common too. The reason could be the 'th' in the name which is quite difficult to pronounce for most Germans. We use names like Tim, Timo (Tee-moh) or Timon (Tee-mon) instead. But I like Timothy the most.

Timo...I have a cousin named Timo! My brother is named Timothy and he's only 2 months older than Timo, and I always found it a little odd that my aunt used Timo right after Timothy was born.I've always thought Timo sounds much cooler than Timothy. I don't know if it's because I love names ending in "o" (Milo, Hugo, Dino, Philo, etc) or if it's because my cousin is significantly cooler than my dorky little brother.

Maybe your aunt already decided on the name Timo when your brother was born and didn't want to change it. I would understand it if the name was one of her absolutely favourites.Well, about Timo and Timothy. I like the pronounciation of Timothy. It flows so well. But I don't care about Timo on the other side. Maybe because I know a Timo who is a little bit weird.I also like names ending in "o" but I prefer names like Leandro and Fabio.
