Stuck between 2 names...help!!

[FRowlands]

Hi,

We decided not to tell anyone names we were considering but now are stuck between two for if its a boy and 4 if it's a girl. Would just like some other people's opinions and me and DH cannot reach a decision (EDD 3/11).
Girl: Elizabeth (Lizzie), Jennifer, Zoe or Isla
Boy: Thomas (bit worried it's v common but is DH's fave) or Adam
Would love to hear what people think as I've definately been overthinking it!!

[Ebb]

I prefer Thomas for a boy even though it's very popular. For a girl I like Elizabeth ( although I prefer the nn Libby but that's just me. ) and Zoe.

Jennifer Elizabeth or Thomas Adam :)

Elizabeth - nice classic name
Jennifer - very pretty and underused
Zoe - not so keen, prefer Zara
Isla - don't like, a bit faddy ATM

Thomas - like, classic
Adam - OK, again a classic

[KatAndKit]

I would go with either Elizabeth or Jennifer.
For a boy, both your names are fine, but if it was me, I would probably pick Adam as it is not used as much these days.

Thomas and Adam, Both great strong boys names. Prefer Thomas TBH myself.I suspect neither will be as terribly common as you think depending on where you live.

Lizzie -Elizabeth( don't shorten to Beth- they are very common) and Jennifer (jenny/jen) all good too. Zoe and Isla - bit meh to me but not bad names, I understand in some regions Isla is getting well used though.

I like Elizabeth, personally I'd shorten it to Beth, but she'll almost certainly end up deciding herself dependent on peer group.
Here she would be the only Elizabeth/Lizzy, but we have Issy, Izzie, Beth(an), Beth(any) and a couple of Libbys (who's full names I don't know)
No Jennifer or Zoe

[GuillotinedMaryLacey]

Jennifer. Love it but can't use it myself.

And Adam, great name.

[pilates]

Elizabeth and Thomas both lovely classic names.

[washngo]

Elizabeth and adam. If I had an Elizabeth her nn would be betsy but I know that's considered a little cutesy.

[greenzebra]

I like all your names and if you are having problems why dont you just not decide now and wait till you meet the little one and decide then.

[NinkyNonker]

Definitely Adam for a boy, you don't see many of them and it is a lovely name.

Elizabeth is more classic and allows for more NNs, but I like Isla too.

[FromMilanToMinsk]

Elizabeth and Adam

[ellesabe]

Zoe and Adam

[BedHog]

Jennifer is a great name - I've never met a Jenny who hasn't been lovely.

Adam definitely. Thomas is a hideous, beige name and I can't understand why it is so popular.

[MelinaM]

Elizabeth is beautiful I do like Jennifer, I just prefer Elizabeth! Zoe is okay, I used to love Isla but then it became UBER popular and a tad 'trendy', definitely avoid that one!

Thomas and Adam are both perfect, but I do prefer Adam by a whisker!

[JiltedJohnsJulie]

Love Elizabeth and Thomas. Our DS has a popular name, was in the top 20 when we had him and think its in the top 10 now. I really wouldn't let it bother you, there is only one other in DS's entire school and you know that everyone will be able to spell his name, well unless you go for the Welsh spelling........

[DigOfTheStump]

First off, all of them are perfectly acceptable, so my comments below are purely my personal preference.

Elizabeth (Lizzie) - by far prefer Beth as a name,
Jennifer - love it, generational classic, got one lol.
Zoe - really not that keen
Isla - tis okay, prefer Iona.
Adam - very nice
Thomas - too popular, but Tom is nice

[mybootsaremuddy]

Elizabeth or Jennifer and Adam

[Rhubarbgarden]

Adam. Great name.

Your girls names aren't my cup of tea, sorry.

[mrsm123]

I love that Elizabeth can become Lizzie and Thomas can become Tom or Tommy.
My daughter is called Charlotte and i sometimes call her Lottie. I love it.
Good luck! You'll know when you see your baby.
It always took us at least 24hours to name our babies.

[Jezabelle]

Isla and Adam

[vividgingerchilli]

Isla Elizabeth has a lovely ring to it.

[ChippingIn]

Elizabeth - with anyone of the NN's.

Thomas - Tom.

Not keen on the others.

[ThingsThatGoFlumpInTheNight]

Jennifer and Adam
