My first name is Mike, middle name is James, and last name is Driver. That's three names that can be related to Thomas somehow.
Some of my friends just call me Driver, and if I happen to be watching Thomas, and when the engines say "Driver says (such and such)," I think, "Darn right I did."

I had a friend at high school named Emily. She and her friends were virtually obsessed (or so it seemed) with the ticking of their own watches, and would often be seen listening to them. Emily's was by far the loudest.
In fact, I've met quite a few women named Emily, all of whom were very nice...kinda like the engine herself in S7.

Oh, Goddess. Let's see:
I knew a James in Primary School. He was a real terror. Didn't like him.
A Toby, this little kid. He was the younger brother of a classmate, loved Bob the Builder.
I've met quite a few Ducks, although I don't know if they count. =P
One of my brother's friends is called Oliver.
I've known four (FOUR!) Ben's; my brother's middle name is Benjamin, one of his friend's a Ben, I knew a Ben in Primary School, and my Dog is Ben.
My friend's friend is a Tom (Tom Rolt, Tallylyn no. 7)

After a lot of thinking here's a list of people I've known or know with "Thomas" names.
My cousin's name is Annie, and a friend of mine named her new puppy Toby. I've known several Bens, and I have a friend named Billy. There was a kid in my elementary school years named Derek, and my grandmother's name was Alice. I've also known a lot of Patricks, Jims, Tims, and Jerrys. I worked with a guy named Thomas, and I dated a Catherine for a short while. I knew a British guy named Oliver (we called him Ollie), and many other Mikes. When I was a kid, I new a kid named Frank. He was pretty weird. My neighbor's name is Molly and her dog is Rex.
That's it so far.

Well...there's me. My name is A. Douglas R. As many know, I hate my christian first name, so I use my middle name as a first whenever I can. Thus, in SIF circles, I'm either known as Fox or more relevant to this, Douglas or 'Douggie'.

Funny thing is that out of all the fairly common english names used for Thomas characters, my name "Martin" has never been used.
Tom - My girlfriend's brother Rosie - close friend (actually Rosella, but known as Rosie)

Well I know loads of Toms, a coupla James' an Oliver, some Emilys, you know, the common ones. Also when I was at primary school there was this reeeeeeeeeeeally annoying kid called George, who loved me. Literally...anyways he'll probably be coming up to my high school soon enough, hope I've left by then...

Where to start... *A classmate of mine has the middle name Emily (or was it Elizabeth?), either way she doesn't look like either, lol. *When I was 8 friend of mine was called James. *My friend in kindergarden had the name Thomas. *A tire store back in my old town had the name Mavis.

Well, I share the same name with a certain Thin Controller, but I have it as my first name rather then my last. During my Secondary School years, I had a friend which shared the same name with a certain orange tractor and when I was working as a Christmas temporary at Debenhams last year, my stock movement supervisor went the same name as Thomas.
