Hi wanted to know if we can add adult children’s name to our existing ISA high income - ( parents) both have separate accounts . Thank you

No, the 'I' stands for 'individual', so ISAs can only be held by one person....
Perhaps worth clarifying what you're trying to achieve?1 -
You, as parents, have separate accounts because as pointed out above they are Individual accounts.1
-
The only way another person can take charge of an ISA - is by Power of Attorney.
The names on the account would not change though.1
