ANOTHER baby names thread - DH says he will abide by majority view

DH and I both have our fav names chosen. We like each other's choices but like our own more. We cannot decide whose choice to go with. If there is a clear majority for one of the names below DH says we should go with the majority.

So which do you prefer:

For a girl:
Anna
Matilda

For a boy:
Reuben
Samuel

I think all 4 names are lovely but I would go for Matilda and Samuel.

Thank you everyone. I am not ignoring you and really appreciate everyone's opinions - its just work is suddenly very busy. I will do a count up later and present DH with the results!

Samuel.

Can't choose between Anna and Matilda. It would depend on your surname and which flowed better, I think.

Nightynight · 07/06/2007 15:40

Anna and Matilda both nice.

Reuben - no
Samuel - yes

devonsmummy · 07/06/2007 15:22

matilda and samuel

Twiglett · 07/06/2007 15:18

Matilda and Reuben

bumperlicious · 07/06/2007 15:18

Matilda and Reuben - I want Reuben on my list but DH vetoed it!

Pruuni · 07/06/2007 15:17

I like all of them.
I am no help.
I think Matilda is becoming very popular in the way that Max or Oscar were a couple of years ago - seems to be the name of the moment.

kslatts · 07/06/2007 15:14

Matilda and Reuben

secondtime · 07/06/2007 15:14

Another one for Anna and Samuel (which would be quite fair, too, as you'd each have a chance of one of your choices)

katz · 07/06/2007 15:13

how strange!

DD2 is Called Annalise (Anna for short) and if she'd been a boy she'd have been Reuben!

so thats the way my votes goes

HonorMatopoeia · 07/06/2007 15:11

Matilda
Samuel

haarpsichordcarrier · 07/06/2007 15:11

Matilda though Anna is lovely too but people will keep saying "Hannah?" which will annoy
Samuel
