Those who have the name of Timothy or Tim are fiercely protective of those they love. In most situations, they will put everyone before a thought of themselves. Friendship is held in high regard, and betrayal cuts deep. Their true love will guide them.

Timothy is a name for a person who is well rounded, well balanced. A great choice in a name.

A person named Timothy will hold his family as one of the highest things in his life. It is a great name.

We have a cat named Timothy (called Timmy) so to me, a person with this name is very elegant, proud, intelligent and leader-like. I love this name!

I can't believe these people who think that a person's name indicates their character! A man who is named Timothy is named Timothy! Period!

I love the name Timothy. Just the sound of it is beautiful to me. It gives me the impression of a man who is trying his hardest to be the best person he can be. I like it!

When I hear this name I can't help but think of my old band director. He was terrible and should not be able to teach. I could never like this name after meeting him.

I know a really horrible person with this name and it has ruined this name for me. The meaning of the name is very nice though.

I like Timothy. It's just whimsical enough, without being goofy. Sounds a little bit elfin.

I have a cousin who is named Tim. He is a weirdo and dead beat, so I don't believe that names add much to someone's character. But I love the name anyway! And its meaning.

I think it is a great, strong name. Another classic name that generally stays under the "popular" radar. I may use it as a middle name for my kids.

It's a great name.

I'm not sure why, but the name Timothy makes me think of a scrawny, nerdy, shy guy who always gets picked on. Tim sounds a little more tough, but not too much. Not to offend any Timothys or Timothy fans, but I would never name my son Timothy.

"Timothy" is a song by the Australian band Jet from their debut album "Get Born".

I find the comments on the character of Timothys funny. The oldest of my brothers is named Timothy. It's hilarious that people have such strong feeling about how a person with this name should be, yet my brother doesn't fit any of them.

Tim is okay, but Timothy sounds wimpy and Timmy is just childish.
