My husband and I can't agree please help us! Ultimately we like all the following names but are going round in circles.....I could be persuaded either way! in need of second opinions!

For boys

Jake
Max
Theo

I think I like Jake best, husband likes Max
Which name would you go for?

For girls

Olivia
Georgia

Jemima

I probably like Olivia best, husband likes Georgia, tho i keep being distracted by jemima, tho maybe short-term distraction (don't know)

Any thoughts on the above, much appreciated!

Agree with you - Jake and Olivia

pointydog · 23/07/2008 17:16

Jake - tweenies, farmboy
Theo - too brideshead
Olivia - bit twee
Jemima - have never liked this, can't understand recent revival

Your dh is absolutely right. Max and Georgia the best of those options.

I like Theo and Georgia. (Actually, they're all lovely, but those two are my favourites.)

Prefer Jake for a boy - although I'd call him Jacob and shorten it to Jake.

Not keen on Olivia or Georgia tbh, so would have to go for Jemima.
