After much debate, me and hubby think we have come up with our final choices.
Our other children are Madeleine, Amelie and Dominic and our angel baby is Oliver.

For a girl we have
Annabelle Tabitha and
Sienna Maria.

For a boy we have
Zachary Oliver and
Elijah Oliver.

Which would you choose? Many thanks

Elijah and Annabelle, although prefer Annabel

Love Zachary, Elijah sounds quite religious to me. Love Annabelle (any spelling!) and Sienna, both very pretty names.

Thanks for the opinions. I too, am unsure of the Annabelle spelling. I don't know which way is best to spell it as the popular spelling varies from area to area.
I don't understand how Amelie and Annabelle can be seen as too similar though? Maybe that's just me.
I did really like Tabitha as a first name but I have been put off by peoples negative opinions and saying it a cats name.
I don't think Quentin would fit, as all my other babies have 3 syllable first names, it is a lovely name though.
Pinkgirlythoughts we are in Sheffield, was it near there you heard us?

I really like the names for your children so far.

I prefer Annabel, spelled that way, although Tabitha isn't a favorite of mine. Do you care about popularity? Because I have a feeling about Annabel. . . we have met at least two.

Sorry, I don't like Sienna at all. It's trendy, and sienna doesn't seem like a particularly nice thing to name someone after.

I like both Zachary and Elijah, but Elijah is a little too hard core for me. (Obviously Zachary is also a Hebrew name with biblical roots, but Elijah just screams Old Testament to me.) Oliver is lovely.

kate, i think its just my accent/pronounciation of amelie and annabelle that makes them sound similiar they'll be completely different in yours

Ah, it was in Grimsby, so probably not you then :)

I like Annabelle but I think having Amelie and Annabelle together will be a bit of a PITA. All that shouting up the stairs and getting the wrong one replying! Tabitha is really lovely, and under-used. Sienna is very pretty, don't like Maria at all.

Not wild about the boys names, but Elijah would be my choice of the two.

Annabelle Tabitha
Zachary Oliver Love Oliver, I have one.Grin

I do like Tabitha but it does remind me of cats. Hmm
