I LOVE LOVE LOVE Thomas and I would use it in a heartbeat if my last name was not so similar. My nephew is Andrew Thomas (6yrs old). I know a 6yr old Peter Christopher-very cute kid. I don't know any toddlers or babies with those names.

My doctor has a 1 yr old named Thomas.
I know a Peter but he is a little older than toddler age, like maybe 5-6.

I love Thomas! If my cousin hadn't named her second boy that, I would totally put it on my list of names for one of my LO!.
My DH has a whole "series" of Peter in his family

. His Uncle is Peter Jr (he has a pHD so a lot of people call him Dr Peter!), his son is Peter III ( he is big so he is big Pete) and he has a son who is Peter IV ( Little Pete!)
I don't think it is a very common name right now and it is a good solid name. I obviously won't put it on my list of name but might have considered it otherwise!

I have a Thomas and I remember when the pediatrician came in to see us right after Thomas was born saying "Thomas, definitely a boy's name and not unusual, but we haven't had one in our practice in years!" That made me happy because it's a huge practice and for them not to have seen a Thomas was nice. We call him Thomas or TJ (middle name John) but I wasn't a big fan of Tommy/Tom etc.

There's now a Thomas on Amazing Race. But in my life I think I know 4 or 5 Thomas' total.

Peter is the same. . . not unusual but not really common either. Both are good solid boys names that could work if he's a sports star, an actor, a banker, a teacher, a musician - whatever he chooses to do. :-)

i had a kindergartner last year named Thomas. My sister named her son Thomas (he passed at 16wks gest). My cousins name is Peter (he's 8).

I like the name Thomas.

If you want a J name...John, Jona, James, Jebidiah

Well, I ran Josiah and Jesiah by my dh and he axed both of them :P. He does really like Thomas however. I noticed a pp has a ds named Quentin...that's a nice name

. I had actually considered that for one of my boys but had forgotten about it. It's now on the list, lol...until dh axes it

. Thomas Peter would be a really nice name, BUT I don't like the initals

Peter Thomas would also be good and those initals are pretty funny (PT-Petey...my last name starts with R...PTR...Peter, lol). Sorry if you didn't get it, lol. *I* thought it was funny! I also really like Shawn. It's so close to John and I love the name John, but that's WAY too common!
