Tomas...no H

mrs.vanderwall

Is that a legit name? My SIL used it for a MN for her DS.  She said she didn't like the way it looked with the H so she just didn't use it. It's my impression that without the H it's not pronounced the same was as Thomas.  Am I wrong here?  I think it looks weird.

There's an accent mark in there somewhere but Tomas is how to spell Thomas in Spanish (it's pronounced Toe-mas)

In Italian it's Tomasso (pronounced the same with the "oh" sound at the end)

So yeah, it's legit.

I thought it was legit...but not pronounced Thomas...She's pronouncing it Thomas, but spelling it Tomas (Toe-mahs)

I think it's legit for sure, but pronounced differently like PP said.

It is legit and I like how it sounds but not how it looks.

It's definitely legit, but not in a "I like Thomas but didn't like the h, so I took it out" way.

I think little Tomas is going to have to pronounce his name for a lot of people.

For the rest of his life.

My BIL and his son both have the MN of Tomas. I always thought MIL was too drugged up after delivery to remember the 'H' in Thomas but apparently it is legit and German! Who knew?

Tomas is pronounced toe-mahs auf Deutch too.

This.  Tomas=Thomas in Spanish so yes, it is legit (though as PP said, the pronunciation is different).

Yep, it's a legit name. My spanish grandfather's name is Tomas. Although it has an accent over the a, and it's pronounced toh-MAHS. This is a very popular name in Spain and a lot of european countries.

I can NOT say this Thomas if it is spelt Tomas. I would definitely say Toe-mas EVERY time.

Even though it is a legit name, by saying it is Thomas with no H but said the same way makes it made up and butchered.

This. At least it's his MN so hopefully it won't cause him too much headache down the road.
