[Opinions] Richard
in reply to a message by Lily8
I prefer Richard over Thomas.
One, I just don't care for Thomas...it just seems like kind of default name to me, like how some people think of John, just as oh, it's a boy, let's name him a biblical name, ok default name: Thomas. I also think it's very boring.
I know a lot of Thomas's, of all sorts of different ages, some old and middle aged, several in their 20/30's, and a few younger ones, and it's super popular around here for a middle name. One of the Thomas' I know goes by the letter T along with his last name Bell (T-Bell) and he is 60ish, two others go by Tommy (ages are around 8 and 18), one in his 40's who goes by Tom, one in his late 20's who goes by T.J., and the rest all go by Thomas.
I only know two Richard's, one who is 60ish, and one little 4 year old boy. It's really cute on him, and sometimes he goes by Ricky, but most of the time he's Richard. I think it is so handsome and dignified, and would be such a breath of fresh air! I think it's adorable.
I think Richard and Thomas make great brothers though.
I also think with Estella, Cecily, and Daisy, Richard fits much better. Thomas feels to classic and stuffy to go with such quirky sisters, it makes Daisy feel out of place. But with Richard, Daisy fits right in, because Richard is the more quirky choice out of the two.
