Re: Julian and Thomas
I dislike Julian...I think it sounds wimpy and creepy. There are far worse names out there though- at least Julian has history and it ages just fine. It is one of those names I personally don't like but I never think 'eww' when I meet one. I adore Thomas. It is strong and handsome and Tom is such a 'nice guy' name (I put it in the same category as Joe and Sam...I can't imagine an awful Joe, Sam or Tom haha). Julian fits with all the other names just fine. Miriam and Thomas would be a lovely brother and sister pair.

And if they were called Mim and Tom on occasion... *swoon* They would sound like little adventurers from an Enid Blyton novel!

lol.No, Alexander's family has a tradition of using full names, that's why I go for one or two syllable names. They will be Miriam and Thomas, although I find Thomas a bit too formal. Tom is adorable, I wonder if I could swing that with Alexander. (Mim is also a wee bit close to Mimi, which is what the grandkids call my mom)

That's fair enough. My family is a really big nickname family, no child of mine called Miriam or Thomas would ever stay that for long even if I insisted on it. That's why my mind always goes to potential nicknames whenever I'm looking at a new name :)

Mine is, too. It will be interesting to see how the two family dynamics work out - my pro-nickname family and his anti-nickname family. I'm 30 years old and my family still refers to me as Fave and Favey.
