What are your thoughts please?

I'm due next week, and I would love to hear other people's thoughts on our short list. It's fine to be totally honest We have favourites but no one to bounce ideas off of. I'd also be interested in other ideas for names.

We don't know the sex, and our DD is called Leila.

Jackson
Connor
Patrick
Harris

Zoe
Orla
Maia
Thea
Ramona (that's my wild card!)

Thanks!

Thanks everyone! We're leaning towards Patrick (Paddy) - it's not even in the top 100 any more. I was shocked!
But we're more stuck for a girl. We loved Zoe, but I'm worried about the popularity (especially in the US). But it's still a strong contender. Possibly Zoe Orla, as I do think Leila and Orla are just a little too matchy I also love Thea but that hasn't received much enthusiasm here

Husband is Irish, and we have an Irish surname. We debated the spelling of Connor v Conor but both prefer nn as we have nn in our surname, and we will probably move to the US (where I'm from) and Connor is more recognised.

And I loved the Ramona books when I was little! I don't mind Ramona the Pest!

Another vote for Patrick and Zoe! Both cool, underused names.

Thea is my favourite How would your Irish DH and family pronounce it in an Irish accent? My DH says it more like Tia and it's a struggle for him to say THea so he's vetoed any names with TH in them. I do love it though.
my second favourite is Zoe.

I like all the boys names apart from Connor. Jackson would probably end up being Jack. I think I like Patrick best followed by Harris.

DH and family are from NI so th's are okay for us!

And his dad is a Jack, so we thought Jackson would be a nice nod. But I'm not sure about nicknames, I don't think we'd use Jack.
