I had my son yesterday and still can’t commit to the name. The 2 finalists are
[name_m]Thomas[/name_m] [name_m]Henry[/name_m]
[name_m]Henry[/name_m] [name_m]Thomas[/name_m]
Our daughter’s name is [name_u]Evelyn[/name_u] and we call her [name_f]Evie[/name_f] (pronounced eh-vee)
Our last name is Qu!nn. [name_m]Thomas[/name_m] is the name of my husband’s father, grandfather and brother. [name_f]My[/name_f] son was also born on the day of the feast of st. [name_m]Thomas[/name_m]. There seem to be a lot more reasons to name him [name_m]Thomas[/name_m], but I think I like henry better with evie. I would hold onto [name_m]Henry[/name_m] for another boy, but this could be our last boy and maybe our last child. Help!
[name_m]Thomas[/name_m] [name_m]Henry[/name_m]. I have an intense love for this combination. No idea why. I love [name_m]Henry[/name_m] in the middle spot when it’s paired with a classic.
[name_m]Thomas[/name_m] all the way. Honestly I am just so sick of [name_m]Henry[/name_m] lately, it seems to be everywhere! [name_m]Thomas[/name_m] [name_m]Henry[/name_m] is so handsome. You could name him either combo and if he doesn’t seem to fit the first name just call him by his middle.
I’d have to say [name_m]Henry[/name_m] [name_m]Thomas[/name_m]. I love the name [name_m]Thomas[/name_m] as a first name, but something about the flow isn’t quite right, but then again, you can always call him [name_m]Tom[/name_m]. I’m not a huge fan of [name_m]Henry[/name_m]'s nicknames. Good luck and happy naming!
I think [name_m]Thomas[/name_m] [name_m]Henry[/name_m] is a very handsome name! [name_m]Thomas[/name_m] [name_m]Henry[/name_m] [name_u]Quinn[/name_u] has a very nice ring to it! I don’t think that [name_m]Henry[/name_m] [name_m]Thomas[/name_m] flows as smoothly.
I love [name_m]Henry[/name_m], so my vote goes to [name_m]Henry[/name_m] [name_m]Thomas[/name_m]. I think [name_u]Evelyn[/name_u] and [name_m]Henry[/name_m] make a wonderful set.
[name_m]Henry[/name_m] [name_m]Thomas[/name_m], definitely. It flows better and [name_m]Henry[/name_m] works much better with [name_f]Evie[/name_f]. [name_m]Thomas[/name_m] is still part of the name, though.
[name_m]Both[/name_m] are so great you really can’t go wrong either way! [name_m]Thomas[/name_m] will almost definitely get shortened to [name_m]Tom[/name_m] or [name_m]Tommy[/name_m] at some point, do you like those nn’s? (I do). Where as [name_m]Henry[/name_m] is less likely to have a nn. I think both pair beautifully with [name_f]Evie[/name_f]/[name_u]Evelyn[/name_u], perhaps [name_m]Thomas[/name_m] a little more (if I go by the book) as [name_m]Henry[/name_m] & [name_f]Evie[/name_f] would share the same -ee ending but I feel that’s neither here nor there. As you say - there’s a lot of signs pointing to [name_m]Thomas[/name_m] but if you are not having anymore children and will regret not using [name_m]Henry[/name_m] then that is an important consideration. Look at it this way, you could always call him [name_m]Thomas[/name_m] [name_m]Henry[/name_m] as that is the strongest honour, but if you find in due course you want to call him [name_m]Henry[/name_m] you can use his mn. I’m no help really as I love both names. I perhaps feel that [name_m]Thomas[/name_m] [name_m]Henry[/name_m] Q has the slightly better flow.
We ended up choosing [name_m]Thomas[/name_m] [name_m]Henry[/name_m] and are calling him [name_m]Thomas[/name_m]. I’m generally happy with the choice- and I know my husband’s father and family are very happy. Although I do have moments when I wish we went with [name_m]Henry[/name_m] or at least saved it for a potential third child.
