my challenge to you

[name]Baby[/name] boy coming in [name]April[/name]. My husband has essentially let me pick the name, it just has to pass through his filter. I have worked for months to convince him to name him [name]Jude[/name] [name]Thomas[/name]; he finally relented, but now I’m not sure [name]Jude[/name] is “the one.” Here is your challenge, expert namers:
Middle name has to be [name]Thomas[/name].
We like short, vintage-y, masculine names.
[name]Just[/name] to give you ideas, other names I love include: [name]Milo[/name], [name]Leo[/name], [name]Waylon[/name], [name]Emmett[/name]. HUsband not wild about any of them. He’s more traditional.

Go!

I love [name]Leo[/name] [name]Thomas[/name]. These others come to mind:

[name]Eric[/name] [name]Thomas[/name]
[name]David[/name] [name]Thomas[/name]
[name]Kent[/name] [name]Thomas[/name]
[name]Eli[/name] [name]Thomas[/name]
[name]Jack[/name] [name]Thomas[/name]
[name]Joel[/name] [name]Thomas[/name]
[name]Seth[/name] [name]Thomas[/name]

I adore [name]Milo[/name], [name]Leo[/name] & [name]Emmett[/name].

If not, what about:
[name]Ezra[/name]
[name]Finn[/name]
[name]Jasper[/name]
[name]Oscar[/name]

Oh, [name]Jude[/name] [name]Thomas[/name] is a wonderful name so I’m sorry you’re having second thoughts. I love the previous poster’s suggestions of [name]Eli[/name] [name]Thomas[/name] and [name]Joel[/name] [name]Thomas[/name]. Here are some short names to pair with [name]Thomas[/name].
[name]Hugh[/name] [name]Thomas[/name]
[name]Ivor[/name] [name]Thomas[/name]
[name]Clive[/name] [name]Thomas[/name]

I know a baby [name]Jude[/name] [name]Thomas[/name] and love the name! [name]Jude[/name] is a great “compromise” name. Not common, but not over the top. I think a boy would be very comfortable with the name, and most people will admire it. That said, Iove [name]Emmett[/name] and the suggestion of [name]Rex[/name] if you want to go a bit more afield.

[name]How[/name] about:
[name]Crew[/name] [name]Thomas[/name]
[name]Nash[/name] [name]Thomas[/name]
[name]Grant[/name] [name]Thomas[/name]
[name]Graham[/name] [name]Thomas[/name]
[name]Theo[/name] [name]Thomas[/name]
[name]Miles[/name] [name]Thomas[/name]
[name]Ezra[/name] [name]Thomas[/name]
[name]Luke[/name] [name]Thomas[/name]
[name]Ian[/name] [name]Thomas[/name]
[name]Eli[/name] [name]Thomas[/name]
[name]Asher[/name] [name]Thomas[/name]
[name]Atlas[/name] [name]Thomas[/name]
[name]Henry[/name] [name]Thomas[/name]
[name]Colin[/name] [name]Thomas[/name]

sorry for any repeats!
