Finally found a boys and a girls name that DH and I agree on - what do you think?

[Chocolocolate]

Hello,

Thanks for all the help so far. We've finally come up with two. Please can I have your honest thoughts:

Henry Jacob Holmes

or

Evelyn Charlotte Holmes

[emmyloo2]

Love both!!!

[BibiBelle]

both lovely

[Kayzr]

I love both of them

[coccyx]

Made me laugh, my DH's grandparents were called Henry and Evelyn!
If you both agree then I wouldn't worry about other peoples opinions

[LittleOne76]

i really like both of them. Henry's a great name - works for a kid and as a adult and I really like the nickname Evie for Evelyn. Again works for a little girl or adult. Good luck!

[bloombloombell]

love both names!! Henry was going to be our name if it was a boy, however im having a girl, both the names Evelyn and Charlotte are on my short list, along with Clara and Ellen! Wish my husband and i could come to a decision like you!!

[pinkgirlythoughts]

Both gorgeous :)

[RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie]

Love Evelyn Charlotte and love Jacob - not find of Henry but if you like it, it's none of my business!

[Noleen]

Not fond of Henry either but like the other names

[acsec]

Lovely names :)

[ragged]

Innoffensive (read that as "boring" if you like).
You could do so much worse.
DC have boring names.

I like Henry as for a child he may be Harry which is equally as sweet. How will Evelyn be pronounced?

[Clarabumps]

I love henry!!LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE IT! and evelyn is lovely too but Henry was my boys name.

[LetLoveRule]

Gorgeous names.

[proudfoot]

Ooh I love both of them - very good choices

[manicinsomniac]

Like them Both.

Personally would probably prefer Jacob Henry and Charlotte Evelyn but your choice or name order is lovely and you both agree (not always easy from what I see here - one of the few reasons I'm glad I was on my own!) so stuff anybody else!

[pilates]

Love Henry Jacob but prefer Charlotte Evelyn.

I love both names, however, do you want Henry Holmes? really?

Shame, as Henry is a truly fine name, but personally I think that sounds not so great. He'll go through life with people calling him his name with either completely dropped "H's" ('Enry 'Olmes) or over emphasised "H's" (Hhhhenry Hhholmes), it probably wouldn't happen with any other initial letter, but H's just attract that kind of attention and diction......

And Evelyn Holmes.... all I can think of is Eamon Holmes. Bonkers I know, as it is a girl's name and everything, but that was the first thing that came into my head!

Oh, and please avoid the initials E.C. for obvious reasons, especially for a girl. My PIL has the initials R.C. and it has haunted him all his days..... he is 65 and people still call him "arsey" much to his UNamusement!
