Help[Opinions] Re: Thomas, Peter and Rórdán
in reply to a message by LittleWolf
Thomas is #21 (I think?) in my province for boys, but I've never actually met a little Thomas. I think its a solid classic name that isn't as ubiquitous as something like William. I don't think your cousin is a problem, unless you see them frequently, and even then it wouldn't bother me.
I love the name Peter, its such a handsome underused classic. I don't think having the same name as your dad would be a burden, unless your dad is a good guy I think its nice.
Rórdán is handsome as well, I'd warn you though (I am guessing you are in the US? you mention US popularity) that no one will use the accents. I do think if you like Rory and would use that as a nickname anyways you should just use Rory, meanings aren't really that important.
1. I don't know any Thomas' under 10.
2. I have three honouring names personally, my great-grandmothers, my grandfathers and my grandmother. I ended up changing one of my middle names as an adult because I was named after another grandmother who was an awful person. I like having family names.
3. I have met one little girl named Roryee (seriously spelled that way) and most people thought it was stupid and masculine. I don't think its a problem to use Rory on a boy.
