Erin or Jessica for a girl, Freddy or Joel for a boy?

What do you think?

Erin and joel

I like Eddie but not Jessica. I still think of sweet valley high lol

Yes, I think Erin and Joel are my favourite too. Do you think is well enough known? I'd like to choose something that people will be able to spell.

I love Joel. Not so sure on others i'm afraid.

Erin maybe - not the rest - sorry

Hmm. Mixed responses now.

I suppose whatever I chose would get mixed responses though.

Do you know any little ones called Erin, Jessica, Joel or Freddy?

I think both Erin and Joel are easy to spell. They way you have aptly Eddie is slightly less common IMO.

I love Joel though, it remains my absolute favourite x

Just realised it's Freddy not Eddie! Reading fail! Apologies. I dont like Freddy as much lol

I hate Erin.
But a the end of the day, choose what name you like.
It is your child =].

metal Out of interest, what about Erin don't you like?

Jessica and Freddy :)

All four names are nice.

Jessica remains v v popular, I know 5 Jessica's ranging from 25 down to birth...
Erin is a lovely Irish name. Very simple and elegant.
Freddy - would you be using Frederick on BC? I think I prefer it spelled Freddie. It has a charming feel to it.
Joel, nothing not to like...good, strong biblical name, I think Joel was a prophet :)

Erin and Joel. Lovely names :)

Yes, if we went for Freddy it would be Frederick on the birth certificate. I hadn't thought of spelling it Freddie, I'll ask DH what he thinks about Freddy/Freddie.

Prefer Joel to Freddy, for me Freddy is only a nn.
Jessica for a girl.

Love Erin, hate Jessica.

Erin and Joel.
Jessica is too sickly sweet for me. Freddy is not a name I am keen on.
Have you considered Erica for a girl if you like Erin?

Only know an adult Joel and a colleague has an Erin but that's it. Not very common I'd say.

Erin and Joe

Freddy was a character in a horror film, I think. Both the girls names are lovely. Joel or Joe is a good one too.

Erin is in the top 50 I think, but you don't meet many. I like it.

Erin and Freddy would be my choice.

Freddy is a really cool name IMO!

I can't say that I love the name Erin but prefer it to Jessica. Another poster suggested Erica which I love and which is much more underused if that is important to you? I know at least 5 baby Erin's at the moment!

I have a 4 year old Jessica. Don't know any others younger than 9. Obviously I love it.

I like Erin too. I only know one, also aged 4.

Not keen on Joel really. I know an adult one but no kids.

Freddy has grown on me but is very popular around here at least.

I'd go for Freddy and Jessica

Love Joel.

Biased on Jessica as it's my best friend's name plus the name of a lovely little girl I'm close to, so for me it has good connotations.

I want to like Erin - but I think it's a bit harsh and can't put my finger on why.

Erin and Joel. My Ds is Joel so i'm very biased, but despite being top 100 I still don't hear his name that often! He's 2 next month.

I don't think Jessica is sickly at all. Jessica Ennis is a fab role model too.

Sorry Bertha I disappeared from yesterday.
I knew an Erin who I hated xD, maybe that influences my choice.

But I still don't like it anyway, even with that put aside.
I think it is very harsh, and just generally don't like the sound of it =].
