Re: A nickname question.
It's a bit of a stretch but I suppose it would be fine. My granny's brother was named William "Skip", so I guess Bartholomew "Tom" wouldn't be too out there. I also know a guy named John Waldemar but he goes by Trey. For the longest time I was so confused as to why he went by Trey until he said he was John Waldemar III (being the the third John Waldemar he was "Trey", get it? lol). So I think people would eventually get the nickname Tom for Bartholomew.

TreyI knew a kid whose name I knew to be Homer, but I played soccer with a kid who looked just like him who went by Trey. I always thought maybe they were identical twins and I just never saw them both at the same time. Until high school when I befriended him and discovered that his name was Homer Oliver (Surname) III, and his family called him Trey. :)

Lol!My sister's boyfriend is Kenneth Ray III and goes by Trey. My brother freaked out when we told him that Trey wasn't his real name because he thought we were saying Trey wasn't a real name and he wondered what the other two Treys he knows are really named.
