[Opinions] Re: Thomas or Richard?
in reply to a message by Lily8
Richard is currently me favorite male name; I don't consider it dated. I suspect it will continue to decline in popularity, but remain fairly common in the long run.
I don't know anyone who bears the name.
I think Thomas will stay reasonably steady as far as the statistics go. It's common, yes, but not nearly as much as it once was. Classic names are not going to become unusual. My eight-year-old cousin and elderly grandfather are both named Thomas. I'm also acquainted with a Thomas who is seventeen.
My cousin goes by Tommy and the acquaintance by T.D.
Richard, Thomas, and Cecily would make a charming set, but Estella and Daisy seem out of place.
