I love Thomas.
in reply to a message by Emma Jenny
*So* much; it's currently my favorite boys' name. While it's common, I don't think it's boring; I think it has so much history and charm that prevents it from being so. (Of course, it helps for me that it was my grandfather's name.)
I mostly prefer Thomas on its own, but I like the NN Tom; it's so dashing (and, dare I say it, downright sexy), yet down-to-earth.
However, while Thomas James isn't bad, it *is* a little dull; I think Thomas needs a refreshing MN in order to give it that extra 'oomph,' if you will. (My personal favorite's Thomas Jerome, FWIW.)
