[Opinions] Re: Thomas
in reply to a message by Mareasi
I love the name Thomas - I don't think of it as bland. It's a good sturdy name, so what if it's familiar. It's classic and timeless and ages well.
As for nicknames, they are totally avoidable. I've known several Thomases, and plenty of them (from all age groups, too) went by Thomas only and never Tom or Tommy, etc. To me, Thomas is preferable but Tom isn't bad.
I think Thomas Samuel George is a great name - traditional, yes, but classy in a "British Royalty" sort of way, if you know what I mean. :) I like all three names separately, and they flow very well together.
