I like Thomas and Tom. I think Thomas with the nn Tom is the best option.

I dislike Tom as a nn but I like Tommy, Thomas and Tomas. All very nice imo.

I like Tom, Thomas, Tomas, Toomas. I know people who go by all of these names (Tom is always a nn). Even though I like it, I wouldn't use it because it is over-used here.

Ditto everything.I have a rule: if you don't remember a guy's name, go for Tom if under twenty, David if over thirty ;)And for the record, I do like David and Tom / Thomas / Tomas.

I like Thomas as a full name. I'm not a huge fan of Tom, but if it is to be used, I would spell it Thom. That's more logical. If you're spelling it Tom, then use use Tomas, but I don't like that spelling at all. Mostly, it's a nice enough name, but I probably wouldn't use it. Seems kind of tired.

I like it.I like Thomas. It reminds me of one of my very favorites, William: classic and comfortable but still attractive and not boring. I like Tom well enough as a nickname, though I'm not a huge fan of Tommy. I think Tomek is kind of cute, though until I searched the database for names related to Thomas I had no idea it was even a name. There aren't many variants of Thomas that I just outright dislike, with the exception of Thomasina. Bleh. I like Tomasa or Thomasa and would probably get used to Thomasine, but I hardly ever like -ina endings.

It's OK but way, way too common. I must have met at least twenty Toms/Thomases in my life.

Isn't Tomas prn Toe-moss? It is in Spain and other latin countries. Not like Tahm-us.

Thomas because to me this name is the classic spelling and pronunciation.

I like Tom! It's friendly-seeming.
I like it to be short for Thomas or Tomas though. I don't think it's "enough" on its own - there are contexts where it'd seem too casual.Tommy is okay only on boys under 15 or so. After that it starts to get a little creepy.

Well, one of my uncles is Tom, so I kind of like it, because I like him. :) But without him I am not sure I would care for it all that much. I know i don't like Thomas, but I don't know why. It's just one of those names that doesn't do anything for me one way or another.

Thomas!
One of my best childhood's friends is named this and he is so nice and so on so I love this name.
Tomas looks really plain..
Tom makes me think of Harry Potter and I don't like it as a NN..
