We’re on the trail for the perfect boy name and it’s time for T. The 20th letter of the alphabet has plenty of popular options (think Theodore and Thomas), but also more unique names as well. We’ll betcha Terca and Thorley aren’t rampant in the playground.
Perhaps you’re interested in T because there are Timothy’s or Trent’s in the family line and you want to pay homage to the letter. Or because you already have a little Tilly and you’d like to keep siblings with the same initials. Whatever your reason, you’re in luck. We list over 500 options that range from common in the classroom to ‘can you spell his name please?’
We asked our huge online community of half a million mums who shared the baby names that they felt were totally darling.
