Thomas & Emma

What do you honestly think of:
Thomas Edward
Thomas James

For a girl, I love Emma Faye so much but surname will be Finch. I know it's very rare the whole name is said together, but do you think Emma Faye Finch is ok?

Emma Isabel (or Isabelle. Not sure which I prefer)

OP posts:

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

I like Thomas Edward and Thomas James. Only slight reservation is that they're all Thomas the Tank Engine names!

Emma Isabelle is gorgeous. Not keen on Faye.

Thomas Edward is really lovely

and Emma Faye Finch is very pretty! def better than Emma Isobel

Sorry, but I find Emma and Thomas extremely boring. I love James for a first name.
Out of the two Thomas combos I prefer Thomas James.
I prefer Emma Faye to Emma Isabelle.

Thomas James would be my choice.

I agree that Emma Faye isn't a problem.

Thomas has been very popular for a very long time and your DS could still end up one of many.
My DS (15) would have been one of 3 Thomas Bs in his class if we hadn't changed our minds.

As you've asked for honest opinions, I think that Thomas/Tom is very popular and a little dull imo.

Emma, on the other hand, is quite underused these days and I like it. Emma Faye is lovely.

I love Thomas James (TJ) and Thomas Edward -they are my 3 fave boys names, but I might also be tempted by Edward James or James Edward!

Love Emma too - only one Emma in my daughter's school. (Actually only one James and no Thomas or Edwards!)
All the Emmas I know are lovely.

Good luck!

Two of the dullest names in the world.

OctaviaOstrichJollster · 15/12/2010 14:26

my nephew (28) is Thomas Edward... classic but quite safe?
Emma Faye sounds fine IMO. Prefer Isobel spelling.

Agree they are not the most daring of names, but both very nice, and the important thing is that YOU like them.

RockinRobinBird · 15/12/2010 14:35

Absolutely lovely names, a darn sight better than all the Fabians and Merediths and Willows that come up on here so often.

expectingno3 · 15/12/2010 14:59

I think either boys' suggestions are nice, but not keen on Faye. Emma Isabelle is lovely.

mathanxiety · 16/12/2010 15:19

Both nice names, classic. I like Emma Isobel and also Emma Faith instead of Fay.

ShoppingDays · 16/12/2010 16:36

Agree with mathanxiety, Emma Faith is lovely :)

DilysPrice · 16/12/2010 16:40

Nice, classic. Thomas is very popular at the mo, but not ridiculously so. No reason at all not to go for it.
