Also like Lilah and Luna for a girl but not too sure I like them enough to make the shortlist.

I like Zachary and Elizabeth best. Know so many of the others. Not that that's bad.

Matilda I don't like at all. Matt or Mattie for short? I suppose Tilly is prettier but way too cutesy. Daisy and HOlly are nice but just prefer Elizabeth.

I like Matilda (nn Tilda) and Zachary the best.

They are all very popular though,if that bothers you.

I like Lucas and Elizabeth best.

I like Theo and Matilda best.

bugsybill · 19/06/2013 15:21

They are all very nice but my favs are Zachary and Matilda.

Amazinggg · 19/06/2013 15:27

Lovely shortlist! The only one I don't like is Lucas. Although Luke is nice. I prefer all your boys names shortened actually, Zack, Jake.

Love the girls' names, all of them are lovely strong but pretty names.

ImaginaryHat · 19/06/2013 18:49

I concur, excellent shortlist!

Zachary and Lucas are my favourites from your boys list, and Elizabeth and Luna from the girls names you mentioned. Tilly and Daisy are a bit cutesy for my taste but to be honest you can't really go wrong with any of your choices I don't think.

Littlecherublegs · 19/06/2013 20:36

Love all your boys name, what a great list!
Zachary is my fav.

From your girls I like Daisy and Matilda though not keen on the others.

BreakfastInTheMed · 19/06/2013 21:05

I love Theo and Elizabeth!

BartBaby · 19/06/2013 21:13

I love Jacob and Lucas. Just got a baby nephew Jacob so thats out for me.

For the girls i love Holly. Its a strong possibility when/if our next one comes along. I like Daisy aswell. But wouldnt use it. Not sure why...

Rosehassometoes · 19/06/2013 21:23

Holly Elizabeth
Jacob Lucas

Wishfulmakeupping · 19/06/2013 21:27

Love Elizabeth
Not drawn to any of the boys names possible Lucas but quite popular

Rtfairy · 19/06/2013 22:54

Thanks for all the comments. Popularity doesn't bother me too much but there do seem to be an awful lot of little Jacobs about, this was previously favourite but the twilight connection puts me off slightly. Still, cannot bear to cross it off my list!

I didnt know there was a Jacob in twilight, had forgotten! I only associate Bella and edward, and even then I dont think the association is a bad thing.

BlueStarsAtNight · 20/06/2013 05:31

I like all your names! I like Zachary best for a boy, though def don't let the twilight thing put you off Jacob as the hype is already pretty much gone now! From the girls I like Holly best. Not so fussed on Elizabeth as I can't help but think it's a bit boring - I know there are lots of shortenings, I'm just not that fussed on any of them!

Redblackcar2 · 20/06/2013 12:49

Holly is my favourite love it then Elizabeth
Theo from the boys list

RaRaZ · 21/06/2013 09:19

Zachary is my dp's name so personally I love it. I think Zach/Zak is sounds pretty cool for a teenage lad too, so I'm sure your son would appreciate it lol. I prefer Jake to Jacob myself, and I'm not a big fan of Theo or Lucas (but if I had to choose between the two, Theo would win hands down).

Of the girls' names, I like all of them except Matilda. Elizabeth is more of a middle name imho - a bit too long/classic/formal for a first name perhaps? But I think Holly is lovely, and Daisy too :-)
