Hi,

We decided not to tell anyone names we were considering but now are stuck between two for if its a boy and 4 if it's a girl. Would just like some other people's opinions and me and DH cannot reach a decision (EDD 3/11).
Girl: Elizabeth (Lizzie), Jennifer, Zoe or Isla
Boy: Thomas (bit worried it's v common but is DH's fave) or Adam
Would love to hear what people think as I've definately been overthinking it!!

Agree - all fine and acceptable. Like Elizabeth and Jennifer. Isla nice but a bit "now".

But am going to buck the trend and say Zoe! Still classic (has been used for thousands of years - empresses etc) but got a bit more zest than the other names on your list (a bit less girly I think).

Like Tom. Adam ok but not mad on it.

I like Thomas and Elizabeth.

Elizabeth - like but prefer not to shorten it to nn. Like it as it is.
Jennifer - nice
Zoe - it is a nice name but I must say I have never been that keen on it for some unexplained reason
Isla - always liked it but now it is too trendy to be used imo.

Thomas - love Wink but prefer just Tom
Adam - also like

Isla and Adam - gorgeous!

The others are all fine (not so keen on Jennifer though as quite dated, 70s and 80s name IMO) but those 2 are lush

Elizabeth and Thomas both lovely. Personally wouldn't worry about popularity of Thomas - it's a nice, solid, classic name for a boy and won't age.

Isla and Adam!

Jenny and Adam or Tom.

Love Elizabeth (classic and also versatile), Jennifer and Zoe.

Both boys' names are nice but Adam is a little less used atm.

Adam and Jennifer (I have one, She is awesome)

I like Isla for a girl and Thomas for a boy. These are probably the most popular choices at the moment though!

Elizabeth is very nice as well, and a real timeless classic name, you can't go wrong with that.

Jennifer (Jenny) and Adam

My sister is Jenny and it's such a lovely name. My DC3 has it as her middle name.
