Hello ladies,

I am torn between the following names;

Noah Shailes
Alex Shailes (or Alexander Shailes)
Henry Shailes
Jacob Shailes
Jasper Shailes

I did used to like Zachary but have gone off that now.

The mn would be either James after my oh, Robert after my dad, or Alexander after my granddad

What are your thoughts on the first names please could you help me?

Many thanks xxx

Actually Noah and Jacob is lovely for twins. There was a birthday card for a Jacob today on cbeebies and it reminded me that I just love Jacob.

I do too- and it is a variant on James which is my other half. OH doesnt like the shortened version Jake though, and whilst I prefer Jacob I'm sure I would end up shortening it from time to time!!

Does it sound ridiculously religious tho??

Henry and Alex get my vote too. Although I do like Jasper.
Henry Robert and Alexander James = my favourite combination.

Or you could go Noah and Jacob - keep the biblical ones together. Don't like them much myself but they go well together.

Lora69 · 18/03/2011 16:12

okay, so Henry James and Alexander Robert or
Henry Robert and Alexander James

or

Noah Alexander and Jacob Robert

Noah Robert and Jacob Henry

not sure which mn's work best with the 2nd set of twins.

TheSecondComing- have not actually had a sexing scan medically but my mum saw a psychic who told her one of her children would have twins and they would be boys :)

Noah and Jacob are my faves!! I have a Noah and Isaac- so you could say Im a bit biased. I have not heard of the middle name Shailes before..... or is it a surname? Congratulations on twins btw.........Good luck! xxxx

pussycatmomma · 18/03/2011 20:55

lol at it all sounding too religious Grin..... thing is if you have any more - a third old testament name may just push it over the edge lol but i think 2 is fine x

Lora69 · 18/03/2011 22:49

My friend said today why dont you have Noah and Ark. hmm... i think not!!! :P xx
