Annie is lovely as is Fred they are both great - I hated talking to friends/family about our favorite baby names because of the faces you'd get if they personally for whatever reason didn't like one, I think its best to try and decide on your own then you aren't influenced.

I like Fred and Sam, with Frederick or Samuel/Samson as full name :)

Also like Annie as a nickname (how about Anneliese as full name?)

I love Fearne for a girl - that's a fab name :)

Of the boys names Sam is my favourite but Fred is also really nice.

Personally, not so keen on Jude.

I love Fred but our surname is really really short so don't think we could get away with it

And Annie for a girl is classic

Fred - it's a little flat cap for me. Why don't you put Frederick on the BC and use Freddie or Fritz. MUCH nicer.

Annie - I really like it. Sweet but not weak if that makes sense.

Fearn - I like it, but I don't love it. HOwever, if YOU love it, it's a good choice because it's unusual but recognisable iykwim.

Not keen on Jude really. Sam is a great name, like Max or Jack, but there are a good few out there.

I like Annie Smile was on my shortlist also think Fearn is lovely- it isn't a name you can grow out of IYSWIM.

Love Jude for a boy. But I'm a massive Beatles fan Grin

Don't like Jude (patron saint of lost causes). Don't like Fearn (Fearne Cotton ).

Love the others. We called ds2 Fred, but I spent 3 days trying to call him Fred in hospital and it just wasn't right, so we changed it. But I still like it very much. We were going to use Alfred on the birth cert so that he could choose Alf or Alfie too if he didn't like Fred. Hey ho.

Fred - okay, but personally I like full names on birth certificates rather than nn's

annie - I think it is a pretty name, and not much used in recent years (but may be wrong!)

Fearn - too Fearn Cotton. Not keen.

I'd say go with what you like, but just to say I really like both Jude (knew very cool one at school) and Sam (again, by choice I'd use Samual on the birth certificate)
