"O" boy middle name

Hi!
This is hard...we are naming our baby Thomas (if he's a boy) and that means he will have the unfortunate initials of TP. Do you think kids will make fun of him?

My fix is to give him a middle name that starts with an O, so his full initials will spell out TOP and negate the TP!

Any suggestions for cute boy names that begin with O?

Owen?

(My brother in law's first and last initials are TP, and we actually call him that because he and my fiance are both Tom's. TP's middle name is Richard though.)

LOL I was just gonna put Owen and you beat me to it. It was the first name that popped in my head that started with "O". Hehehe.

This is the way my fiancee thinks of it when people ask about a kid getting teased...he always tells them you can't beat a third grader's mind...the kid will be teased regardless of his/her name. We were goin' to name our little girl (I was due on the 8th and have yet to have her) Madysun and call her Mady, but we've decided on Clover instead. My parents are like she'll get teased with a name like Clover and my fiancee said his little two-sense and said I'm sure a third grader would love to say, hey fatty Mady anyways. So it just goes to show ya that no matter what, you should name your child what you want!:) I have a friend whose initials are TP and that is what we call him, no big deal!:)

What about Thomas Oliver or Thomas Orion?

My fiance wanted to name our son Oliver, and I detested it. No. Ugh. When I think Oliver, I think "Please Sir, May I have some more."

My husband LOVES the name Otto.

Orville and Oliver are the only other ones I can think of. I do like Owen a lot too.

I like Oliver, Otto, Octavious, and Oscar. I can't think of any more off the top of my head.

My best friend of like 13 years name is valerie.....her middle name is Denise. So her initials are VD. LOL No one really made fun of her but it was funny when she would date long term wise and to see if the guys caught on to the name and to see their reactions.
