Help[Opinions] Re: Tommy
in reply to a message by Lucy Lane
Tommy, to me, is what a Thomas is called before he's about ten years old.
Kinda bizarrely, the second thing I think of is the band Styx which had (has?!) a guitarist Tommy. I remember thinking that a grown man calling himself Tommy kinda seems like he's trying to put on an air of youthful attitude. Similar to Ricky, Pauly, Janie, or Jilly. Cute on kids but I'm not a fan of them for adults. There exist many -y nicknames that don't give me that impression, but Tommy definitely does.
I like the name Thomas, and Tommy is cute for a child, and I like nn Tom for a teen/adult Thomas.
