ANOTHER baby names thread - DH says he will abide by majority view

[MrsTulkinghorn]

DH and I both have our fav names chosen. We like each other's choices but like our own more. We cannot decide whose choice to go with. If there is a clear majority for one of the names below DH says we should go with the majority.

So which do you prefer:

For a girl:
Anna
Matilda

For a boy:
Reuben
Samuel

[CorrieDale]

Anna and Samuel

[kimi]

Matilda and Samuel

[BrothelSprouts]

When does the poll close?

[InternationalMouseOfMystery]

are you mad? you'd let a bunch of strangers decide for you??!

(matilda and samuel)

[fillyjonk]

Anna and Sam

I do like the others but round here Matilda is quite well used and Reuben more so.

[gegs73]

Matilda
Samuel

[ScummyMummy]

Like Samuel too. Not quite as keen on Matilda but it's pretty inoffensive.

anna and samuel ..lovely

matilda .. all i can think of is Roald Dahl!
Reuben.. sorry its a bit "poncey" for me !

[notadmittedthistomyselfbefore]

Anna or Samuel.

[StinkyPete]

for a girl definitely anna
matilda is just to much that film with danny devito for me.
for a boy, i love reuben, but it is a bit more bold (fine if you can cope with that); I wanted it for ds but dh wouldn't go for it. samuel is lovely too.

[funnypeculiar]

I prefere Anna and Samuel - partly becuase I know a couple Reubens and three matilda's - think they aren't usual enough to be interesting any more iykwim.

But agree with others - wait and see the baby - my first choice of name for our daughter was over-ruled when DH pointed out she didn't look like an Amelie - he was quite right

[scorpio1]

Matilda

Reuben
