Eve or Martha

Jacob or Noah

Wondered what people thought. On 5 months so still have plenty of time to change my mind though!

Eve and can't choose between the boys names - both too lovely! Maybe Jacob if I really really had!

LittleMissWorryHead · 28/04/2009 12:54

I have a Jacob and Eve would have been a middle name had he been a girl...

Eve and Jacob (Noah was on my list too! Fab name)

WinkyWinkola · 28/04/2009 12:54

Eve and Noah. I prefer Eva though.

I think Eve is lovely.It's my dd's middle name.Although you will probably change your mind once you see him or her.

LittleMissWorryHead · 28/04/2009 13:04

I don't think Noah is too biblical. I love it, DH wouldn't let me have it as it made him think of the ark (for goodness sake!)

Its a great name, work on him

They're all lovely. I wanted DS to be Noah but my DP also thought it was too biblical! DS has a friend at nursery called Martha who is lovely. The only thing with one syllable names like Eve is that (IME) people like adding 'ie' on the end when they talk to babies! My friend has a Grace and lots of people call her Gracie which really annoys her!

Its the first time I've been on a baby names thread for ages and thought "actually, they're all ok"

Eve and Jacob

TwoScrambledEggs · 28/04/2009 14:56

Eve and Jacob

EverySingleStar · 28/04/2009 15:05

Eve and Jacob.

I say Jacob because my first DS will be a Noah and I don't want any more than there need to be.

Smilewearingthin · 28/04/2009 19:17

All four are very popular where I live. (But probably for a good reason!) I'd say Martha and Jacob.

pointydog · 28/04/2009 19:27

Eve.

Don't know about the other two. Either I suppose.

NotSoRampantRabbit · 28/04/2009 19:32

Martha is on my list so obviously that's the one! Like Eve too though.

Prefer Noah for a boy. Both your boys names are biblical.

lazylion · 28/04/2009 20:20

Martha and Noah.

stillenacht · 28/04/2009 20:21

oooo i like all of them

LaDiDaDi · 28/04/2009 20:38

I like all of them, really nice choices. If pushed, Martha and Noah but only just.

screamingabdab · 28/04/2009 21:41

Not Noah, but I like all the others

snice · 28/04/2009 21:44

Noah will probably get even more popular now Chris Evans has named his baby this.

Wilkiepedia · 28/04/2009 21:45

Eve and Jacob (DS1 called Jacob or J or JJ)

Although Noah and Eve are lovely too

Hassled · 28/04/2009 21:47

Martha
Noah

RachieB · 28/04/2009 21:47

Eve ( prefer Eva or Evie though ) & Noah

JulesJules · 28/04/2009 21:52

Martha and Noah.
