I love both names - actually Timothy is one of my favourite names in general, but granted, I'm not from the UK, so I don't have the associations tybalt_quin mentioned (I have read Famous Five though, but would never have thought to make that connection).
My problem with Thomas is that "a doubting Thomas" is pretty much a stereotype in some circles. I like the name though, so *shrug*.
But then, I may not be the right person to ask. Names generally won't make or break a book for me. If I like the book, I don't care about the names :-D
