After much debate, me and hubby think we have come up with our final choices.
Our other children are Madeleine, Amelie and Dominic and our angel baby is Oliver.

For a girl we have
Annabelle Tabitha and
Sienna Maria.

For a boy we have
Zachary Oliver and
Elijah Oliver.

Which would you choose? Many thanks

Annabelle for a girl. Not too sure about a boy. On balance Zachary.

Annabelle Tabitha is really nice, I think the spelling of Annabelle is too frilly though and like Annabel a lot more.

For a boy I prefer Zachary Oliver.

I really like Elijah Oliver.

If I had to choose the girls name from what's listed I would say Sienna Maria. If I was allowed to mix them up I would have Maria Annabel :).

Annabelle and Elijah (DS1 is Elijah though, so am biased).

I like Annabelle and Zachary. Although I think if I was Annabelle I'd be frustrated at constantly having to spell out whether it was Anabel/Annabel/Annabell/Annabelle. Tabitha is fab!

Annabelle Tabitha - love Annabelle, dislike Tabitha
Sienna Maria - both lovely names, although it's quite a sing-songy combination

From the two options I'd go for Sienna Maria. I prefer Annabelle to Sienna but really don't like Tabitha. Even nicer IMHO would be Annabelle Sienna or Annabelle Maria :)

I like both your boys' choices, and Oliver as middle name. I would pick Elijah as it's just a little bit more unusual.

I'd go with Tabitha Maria. I don't like Zachary or Elijah, sorry.

I think Elijah Oliver is lovely.

I don't really like your two girls' first names, sorry, but would probably go with Sienna out of the two. I much prefer Tabitha as a first name, and I would put it with Maria as a second name.

Bizarrely, our top choices for DS were Annabelle (this spelling) and Zachary! So obviously I think they're both gorgeous names, but I actually think that Sienna and Elijah sound better with your other children's names.

Can I ask roughly what area of the country you're in? I only ask because I was feeding DS in the Mothercare feeding room recently, and a man came in with his children, Amelie and Dominic. I'm sure mentioned 'Madeleine' being in another shop with mummy, too. I remembered it because I thought what lovely names they were!

Love Elijah Oliver. Prefer Annabelle to Sienna.

Sienna Maria, I don't like that spelling of Annabel, and it's just too twee a name, anyway. Your other children's names are not twee, and go better with Sienna.

Both boy names are nice, I slightly prefer Zachary.

We have an Annabel so love that. But I also really like Sianna.

I much prefer Elijah from your boys' names - Elijah is a classic, strong but not overused name. I really dislike all the Zac/Zak/Zach names, sorry.

Sorry, Sienna.

As it is your fifth child, how about Quentin (Quinn), meaning fifth in latin?

Anabelle definitely.

Like Oliver the best out of all the boys' names.

Elijah Oliver is lovely. Beautiful to give him Oliver as a mn.

Love Tabitha & Maria but less keen on Annabelle & Sienna, sorry. My DH loves Annabelle though.

Annabele and Amelie are too close. How about Tabitha Annabelle? I really like Zachary Oliver.

Both of your choices for boys are lovely. I liked Elijah for DC3 but DH dismissed it with a "hurrumph" & I couldn't have a Zac because I already have a Jack Smile.

I think of your girls names I prefer Sienna - although it's always been a bit close to Senna for me & makes me think of laxatives Blush. Annabelle is OK, just not a name I'm crazy about IYKWIM.

zackery is too modern compared to dominic and annabele is too close to amelie imo.
