[bytheMoonlight]

Girls:

Dulcie
Tessa
Naomi

Boys:

Elijah
Harry
Ted (on birth cert. not as a nickname)

Honesty appreciated!

I like Naomi and Elijah the most :)

Tessa and Ted

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

Tessa and Elijah

I love Dulcie.

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).

Tessa and Harry.

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

Naomi and Elijah

Very old testament :)

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!

Tessa and Harry.

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

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!

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

I love Dulcie! Naomi and Tessa are also nice.

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

I love Elijah. Great name.

Really strongly dislike Dulcie sorry (Dull, see?)

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

Tessa

Elijah

Naomi
Tessa is okay (dd1 is Naomi but was almost Tess!) - don't like Dulcie.

Elijah

I like Edward with Teddy as a nn, or even Laurie with Teddy as a nn (like in Little Women) but don't like Ted on its own.

Don't like Harry.

Dulcie & Ted

Tessa and Ted

I do really love Ted but I know many people do not see it as a proper name, so I'm not sure.

Elijah is dh's favourite.

Harry is the compromise name tbh.

Dulcie is a name everyone I know loves and both dh and I really like it. The only thing that puts me off is some people may not have heard of it so may think I made it up.

Naomi is a name we both really like

Tessa is my favourite but not dh's

Tessa and Elijah.

I would pick Naomi and Elijah from your list.

Tessa and Harry.

I like Elijah best from your boys list. Harry is too Harry Potter and Ted too much like a nickname.

From your girls list I really dislike Naomi but the other two are nice. (I knew a Naomi at school who was very annoying).

Naomi
Ted
