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.
