Alfred or Edward ? Emma or Elizabeth ?

[tomsmom2003]

A bit ahead of myself as only just found out third kiddie expected Jan 2010 but given how hard it was picking a name with first two have already given it a lot of thought!

DH a teacher and so dismisses names of basis of knowing kids and is also really good at coming up with evil nicknames that kids will work out!

Help!!

Elizabeth.

Edward.

Yup, Elizabetha dn Edward.

Edward / Emma

Like them all,

Have a think about nicknames too!

Elizabeth and Edward.
They were our final 2 names for our 2nd one.

Elizabeth

Edward

elizabeth and edward

I like Elizabeth and Emma but don't like either of the boys names.

These are all great names

not so much Emma though simply because a girl at my school gave 12 blow jobs at a party and she was named ...Emma

Edward and Elizabeth. I like Emma too but NOT Alfred.

Edward and emma.

elizabeth fine.

Lot of alfies about at the mo.

Elizabeth will never be Elizabeth - Liz, Lizzie, Beth etc even if you're introduced as Elizabeth. Drives me mad!!!

I love the nicknames for Elizabthe and Edward (don't actually like Edward too much)

alfred

elizabeth

Edward and Elizabeth (although I do prefer Edwin to Edward).

EVERYONE is called Emma. It's like the Sophie of a few years ago. I like Edward, both it's meaning, and also it's my Grandads name. Elizabth is better than Emma by far, though it's not my top 10 anyway.

Edward and Elizabeth

I like Emma but prefer Freddie or Ted for boys rather than Edward and Alfred.

I prefer Emma and Edward (prefer nn Ned or Teddy to Eddie though)

Elizabeth and Edward. Lovely names.

I think loads of people are called Emma, it's really really boring. Elizabeth and Edward get my vote.

Edward and Elizabeth

Emma is very pretty, but you can extract many pretty nns from Elizabeth. Eli, Beth, Libby.

I prefer Jemma short for Jemima or Gemma to Emma. Emma is a bit .... lacking imo. Pretty though.

ps My cousin Elizabeth has never been anything other than Elizabeth, and I went to school with an Elizabeth who's also just Elizabeth. My friend's younger sister is Libby. So, 66.66% of the Elizabeths Iknow are Elizabeth!!!!

Love them all except Alfred.

Edward (Ted)

Emma & Elizabeth are both lovely. I would probably go for Ellizabeth and shorten to Betsy.
