I have always loved the name Cameron for a boy - its very strong and smart- IMO!
The others don't do much for me - especially Jack, as its been the most common boy name in Aus for the past couple of years.
For girls I like Lauren, but prefer Laura (so pretty - IMO!). I also think Laura would go better with your last name as it starts with an 'n'.
Georgia and Charlotte are sweet - especially Charlotte.
Emma and Erin are plain jane names to me (sorry!).
Cameron - personally, i'd leave this one for the boys. I think the trend to give girls a name that is traditionally used for boys is just making the poor boys harder and harder to name!!
Goodluck deciding. Remember, at the end of the day, its only your & DH's opinion that counts!
if you're looking for something less common you may want to avoid charlotte (very popular atm), harrison/harry and jack.
out of your girls' names i like emma and georgia; for boys i think cameron jacob is nice. but as jellybean said, these things are entirely a matter of taste.
Thanks for your thoughts, I know it's our choice, but it's nice to hear input (we say/hear these names a lot so it's nice to get an outside opinion). I love Laura, but DH's cousin has a Laura, and we used to be friends with a Laura but that ended badly, and I don't think DH will agree. DH's mum and his cousin's mum are sisters and quite close, so just don't think I can pull Laura.
I'm going off Jack, and was obsessed with Harrison, but you're right, it's a bit common at the moment (and there's a Harry in the class next door who is becoming trouble - I try to block my ears whenever the teacher says his name). Funny - Cameron and Henry are high on our list, as is Lauren. Interesting that so many of you agree.
i also like Hernry and Harry for a boy, and i love Cameron for a girl! and think it would sound really good with your surname... but what about Emilia or Emily instead of Emma?
good luck deciding! isn't it fun!
