Help[Opinions] Thomas, Peter and Rórdán
Thoughts on Rórdán, Peter and Thomas?
I enjoy both but hesitate to lock them in as my #1 fave.
1. Thomas seems relatively high on the charts, but I have to say the youngest I know, a cousin's son, is 10.
2. Peter is lower in popularity, which I like, but it was my Dad's name and sometimes I worry that having an honor name is maybe a burden?
3. Rórdán is a name we just like, my husband likes the meaning of Rórdán better than Rory although we do plan to use the nickname Rory. We like that it is familiar without being popular.
So,
1a. How many Thomas/Tom/Tommys do you know under 10? And would it bother you to have a kid with the same name as your cousin's child?
2a. Do you have an honor name of a close, deceased relative? Do you like it? Does it feel like you have to live up to said relative?
3a. Rory is also known in the US as female name after Gilmore Girls popularity. I don't see this often in real life, do you? And 2nd are the accents a problem? We have considered just Rordan. This may be a great leap into overdramatics but does Rordan look like we are hopping on the Aidan/Jayden/Cayden trend?
