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

Anna and Samuel

Matilda and Samuel

When does the poll close?

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

(matilda and samuel)

Anna and Sam

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

Matilda
Samuel

Matilda and Samuel

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

Anna

and

Samuel

Matilda will be the name of this baby Im carrying if it is a girl I think so Matilda and Samuel for me

Anna and Samuel

Mathilda and Rueben

errm... matilda and reuben i'd say out of those

anna
samuel

reuben sounds like a sandwich to me

anna
samuel

Reuben and Matilda

Anna
Reuben

Matilda and Samuel

Anna
Reuben

Anna

Samuel

anna and samuel ..lovely

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

Anna or Samuel.

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.

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

Matilda

Reuben
