I love Elijah. Great name.

Really strongly dislike Dulcie sorry (Dull, see?) Grin

Your other girls names are lovely. I particularly like Tessa / Tess.

I love Dulcie! Naomi and Tessa are also nice.

Like Elijah. IMO Harry and Ted are nicknames and Harry is far too popular.

I have a Dulcie, lovely lovely name. Like Ted best for a boy .

I love both Tessa and Naomi, and like Elijah. Harry and Ted seem a bit too casual but not sure why I don't like Dulcie.

T and N are my tops picks for my DD due in 4 weeks actually, but struggling because Tessa is a diminutive of my father's new wife's name which I feel rules it out completely (feel it would be a terrible slight to my mum), and Naomi my DH dislikes because he went out with a "silly" girl called that once and also I fear it would bug me if everyone pronounced it 'Niomi' instead of 'Nayomi'.

SO hard to decide!

Tessa and Harry.

In fact Tessa is very nice, not heard the name used in a long time!

Love Tessa and Naomi for a girl! I wouldn't thank you for a name with the word Dull at the beginning - asking for cruel nicknames imo!

Elijah is cute and so is Ted - too many Harry's imo atm.

Know a friend who has a Naomi and a Elijah and only had good comments - they are very religious though!

Naomi and Elijah

Very old testament :)

Tessa is lovely. Like Ted but not as a full name. Naomi is ok, don't like Harry, Elijah or Dulcie.

Psychommead · 28/10/2010 13:08

Tessa and Harry.

RockinSockBunnies · 28/10/2010 13:04

Tessa and Elijah. There are loads of Harrys around, so it depends if you want a slightly more unique name. Not keen on Ted (as an official name, though I like Edward, nn Ted).

DuelingFanjo · 28/10/2010 13:04

I love Dulcie.

brittan76 · 28/10/2010 13:03

Tessa and Elijah

CuppaMouldyBatBallsBrothJanice · 28/10/2010 12:59

Naomi and Elijah are the best. They aren't too popular, or too wierd, they sound good and don't have any unpleasant connotations.

PirateScaredyCat · 28/10/2010 12:56

Tessa and Ted

ellesabe · 28/10/2010 12:55

I like Naomi and Elijah the most :)
