I think that James (or Jamie/Jim/Jimmy) and Maria are very mainstream (certainly no questions would be asked) but slightly less common than Amelia or Sam, so that's what I would pick. One thing to think about is whether either 'go' with your other child's very unusual name. I don't think names should be too 'matchy' but a combination that is very different like say Blue and Tom might be a bit odd.

Samuel for a boy. And quite like both the girls names but Maria is a lot less common these days

Ameybee · 29/01/2013 19:11

Jamie and Amy of course - but then biased clearly Wink

Samuel and Maria

Rhubarbgarden · 29/01/2013 22:52

Samuel and Maria. Maria is lovely.

Startail · 29/01/2013 23:54

Sam and Amy

I'd probably just call her Amiee/Amy and not bother with Amelia or she'll just become Milly.

I might use the flowery spelling, to remember an Amiee I lost touch with long ago.

Sam and Amelia

dancingted · 31/01/2013 07:23

James nn Jamie
Amelia

blaclpurse1 · 31/01/2013 07:29

Do like Sam but very popular much prefer Jamie with full name James.
Jamie and Amelia.

Teapot13 · 31/01/2013 09:22

There is nothing to be mean about here -- they are all perfectly nice names so don't worry about that.

I like both Samuel and Jamie, although I would go for James. You never know, and it just makes more choices.

I love Amelia but it has got too popular for me. Personally, I don't really like Amy and the connection to Amelia, while not illogical, might not be clear to everyone.

Maria is such a classic you really can't go wrong. It is rare to find SUCH a classic that people aren't really using, so I think I would go with that.

Aimee and James (not Jamie)

apachepony · 31/01/2013 12:03

Samuel and Maria

DanniiH · 31/01/2013 12:41

I like Sammy for a boy, considered Samson for my son. Like Amelia. x

MrsHBaby3 · 31/01/2013 12:59

Theres a James and a Millie already in the family, which is why we thought of Jamie or Amy

Why not go James rather than Jamie? I love James.

Maria wins for me.

bunnylang · 31/01/2013 14:38

Mary is nice too

mathanxiety · 31/01/2013 15:41

Jacob

Mikethemonkey · 31/01/2013 16:19

Jamie/James really love this,like both girls names.

RubyGrace17 · 01/02/2013 17:46

I like Samuel and Amelia (but I have an Amelia of my own so I'm biased!)
