Hi,
I currently have a William Graham (Graham is DH's grandfathers name)
We are looking at Claire Louise for a girl
and Oliver Thomas or Jack Thomas for a boy. I am still not 100% convinced on boys names.
My favourite is Ewan Thomas but DH doesn't like Ewan at all.
What are peoples opinions?
Claire is my sisters middle name and Louise is my other sisters name.
Thomas is my grandmothers maiden name.

Great choices! Classic names, and the family connection is nice.
I prefer Oliver Thomas to Jack Thomas.

Claire Louise is lovely! very pretty and classic.
I'm not of fan of Oliver, but Thomas Jack or Jack Thomas is ok. I like James fro a classic boys name too.

I love Oliver Thomas and Jack Thomas.
I think they both go really well with your DS name. My preference would be Jack Thomas

I think Louise is a beautiful name...but i am biased.....however it is great as a middle name as so many names go with it.
Sorry, have to agree with your DH, not keen on Ewan Thomas.
Oliver and Jack are both lovely names though!

I prefer Evan Thomas to Ewen Thomas – the difference in pronunciation just makes it flow so much better. I also like Oliver
Claire Louise is beautiful.

You could also go with Claire Louisa

I really like Claire Louise. Claire was on one of our many lists and I still think it is a lovely name.
I

I really like Oliver Thomas, Jack Thomas and Claire Louise. Ewan is ok but I don't like it as much as your other choices.
