Which do you prefer as the name of a baby brother/sister for Thomas?

Clara is lovely but it's Dr Who's assistant's name. The last one was Amelia. The one before, Rose. It's going to be very popular.

it's the other way around with TTTE, Annie and Clarabell, so you'll be fine :)

Sebastian - Arthur "old man down the pub name" but very popular at the mo and a favourite on NMConfused DHs middle name.

Both girls names but Clara just edges it - which go best with your surname?

I like Sebastian but think Arthur sounds better with Thomas. I think either girls name works well but I prefer Clara.

Arthur and Clara are both wonderful!

Arthur and Clara

Looks as though DH wins with Arthur, I'm pleased my preference of Clara seems to be popular...

I did think of the Thomas the Tank reference with Annabel/Clara but kids will always find something to tease each other about and its relatively minor in the grand scheme of things.

Arthur and Clara, although I like Annabel too.

Both boy names are lovely, but I prefer Arthur. If it's a girl, Clara, beautiful name, I haven't heard that in a long time. Congratulations x

I was going to say maybe neither of the girl's names with Thomas too! Especially is Annabel ends up being Annie at some point...

Arthur for the boy

Either for a girl, both are lovely. Annabel has more nickname potential - in a good way!

Clara and Sebastian

Clara is lovely! Sebastian is nice but Seb/Sebby/Basty aren't imo. So I vote Clara and Arthur.

Sebastian and Clara.

Are you sure about having Annabel or Clara with Thomas Grin

From the boys I think Thomas and Arthur sound better but I also like Sebastian.
