TAM Boys (part 1: Where to Start?)

So… T.A.M. is on my mind for a boy, too, despite having so many non-TAM boy combos I would be sad to leave on the table.

Two T names already existed high on my boys’ list: [name_u]Taliesin[/name_u] and [name_m]Thelonious[/name_m].

I also considered [name_m]Tybalt[/name_m] many years ago as a potential brother for Hor@tio.

We love “[name_u]Toby[/name_u]” as a nickname, too, based on fond memories of The [name_u]West[/name_u] [name_m]Wing[/name_m]. I like it for [name_m]Tybalt[/name_m] and [name_m]Tobias[/name_m] alike. Or potentially [name_m]Tobit[/name_m]?

Others I’m looking at:
Thélio
[name_m]Thibault[/name_m]
Troilus
[name_m]Templeton[/name_m]
[name_m]Thierry[/name_m]
[name_m]Thiago[/name_m]
[name_m]Titus[/name_m]
[name_m]Teague[/name_m]

  1. Thoughts on [name_m]Tobit[/name_m]?
  2. What T names do you immediately like for me? Clear frontrunners?
  3. What names would you add/suggest to me?

Any other thoughts and feedback welcome! Thanks, Berries!

Not sure on [name_m]Tobit[/name_m]… I strongly associate it with Catholicism/Orthodoxy/Book of [name_m]Tobit[/name_m], so I’m not sure if that would bother your or not, or maybe that’s the reason you like it? So that’s what I think of, not sure whether I like it or would recommend it. (Fwiw, though, it feels a little short next to your sons’ names.)

Tobias would definitely have been my first recommendation for you! And I definitely like [name_m]Thiago[/name_m] and [name_m]Titus[/name_m] for you.
Maybe…

[name_u]Tristan[/name_u]

For you, I love Taliesen, Tybalt, Thierry, Thelonious, Templeton ( :heart:), and Tobias!

suggestions (I commented at the same time as pp, so any repeat is a second vote!):

Tarquin
Thackery/Thackaray
Thaddeus
Theseus
Tolliver
Torquil
Toulouse
Triton
Troy
Tullius

I’ve never heard of Tobit before. It’s nice, but not one of my favorites for you!

Also, I think any name starting with T that contains a B could work for [name_u]Toby[/name_u]

Not a fan of [name_m]Tobit[/name_m] to be honest. To similar to toe for me. I like [name_m]Tobias[/name_m]/Tobiah and [name_m]Tycho[/name_m] for you, as well as [name_u]Taliesin[/name_u], but people outside of [name_m]Wales[/name_m] often struggle with that one! If you were willing to not use the initials, you could always use [name_m]Thomas[/name_m]. It’s really common in [name_f]Scotland[/name_f] for a [name_m]Thomas[/name_m] to go by [name_m]Tam[/name_m]

I really like [name_m]Tobit[/name_m] actually. It sounds wierd but it’s what i used to call by guinea pig [name_u]Toby[/name_u].

Taliesin or [name_m]Thiago[/name_m] sound great for you - I really like them. [name_m]Thierry[/name_m] and [name_m]Teague[/name_m] too.

I’ll throw in the suggestions of
[name_m]Timon[/name_m]
[name_m]Theodoros[/name_m]
Theodosius
[name_m]Tolliver[/name_m]
[name_m]Tadhg[/name_m]
[name_u]Tobin[/name_u]
[name_m]Truman[/name_m]
[name_u]Thaddeus[/name_u]
[name_m]Torin[/name_m]
[name_m]Taddeo[/name_m]
[name_m]Tertius[/name_m]
Tertio
[name_m]Tancred[/name_m]
[name_m]Tallis[/name_m]
[name_m]Thorfin[/name_m]
[name_u]Tiernan[/name_u]

I’m not liking the sound of [name_m]Tobit[/name_m]. However, I love [name_u]Toby[/name_u] as a nn! I’m loving [name_m]Tobias[/name_m] and [name_m]Theobald[/name_m] to get [name_u]Toby[/name_u].
I also love these for you:
[name_m]Thiago[/name_m]
[name_m]Troy[/name_m] (!!!)
[name_m]Todd[/name_m]
[name_u]Thaddeus[/name_u]

Liking many of the options here:

Theseus
[name_m]Tancred[/name_m]
[name_m]Torquil[/name_m]
[name_m]Tibor[/name_m]
[name_m]Tolliver[/name_m]
[name_m]Tycho[/name_m]
[name_m]Tertius[/name_m]

I like the romanticism of [name_u]Tristan[/name_u] but I worry it is far too normal/bougie/popular/mainstream (take your pick).

I also have always liked the name [name_m]Todd[/name_m], but could you really see that working with the sibset? I love [name_u]Tully[/name_u], but as a nickname for some of the T names with L.

I love Taliesen!! I don’t love [name_m]Tobit[/name_m], I prefer [name_m]Tobias[/name_m].
