Charlie, Joseph, Jake or Oliver?

[sleepyhorse]

Please help me decide on my above shortlist!

[WowOoo]

I like Oliver and Joseph out of those the best.

[Dando]

Joseph.

[Jojay]

Oliver

[cece]

Joseph or Jake.

There are loads of Charlies and Olivers around here...

[Greenwing]

Are you aware that Oliver was the number one boys name for last year - thousands of them!

Joseph is my favourite of the four.
Oliver Cromwell puts me off!

[sophiesmummie]

I find them all too popular/dull.

[jellybeans]

Jake is my favourite but I like joseph as well, others too popular.

[Trying2bgd]

Charlie or Jake

[SoLongAsItsHealthy]

Jake.

It's the least "common" (frequent) of the four.

[mopsyflopsy]

I agree - they're all too common/overused. If I had to choose one, I'd say Joseph.

[lilly13]

Charlie or Jake

[KenDoddsDadsDog]

Joseph
Jake very common around these parts.

[expectingno3]

Charlie or Oliver

[LouMacca]

Don't like Jake.

The other names are great but Oliver and Charlie are very popular. I would go for Joseph (Joe).

[sensiblesusannigella]

Joseph is the most classic,won't age.

[rachel1970]

All too common for me personally. But Oliver has the nicest sound imo.

[Tidey]

I don't give a rat's ass how popular each name is. Both my DC have names that always seem to be in the top twenty name lists. They're popular because they are good names. I like Charlie and Jake most from your list. Good luck and best wishes.

[CharlieBoo]

I'm with Tidey.... They are top 20 for a reason, they're lovely names...Charlie and Oliver personally.....don't like Jake at all and Joseph is nice but do you like Joe?

[scottishmummy]

in scotland jake=manky headbanger.so not jake or jakey.and not ned either as ned=plooky ne'er do well

[whoknowswhatthefutureholds]

joseph, oliver and charlie all great names.

[LadyOfTheFlowers]

If it were me, I would go Joseph. It is DS1s middle name but also I think there are a lot of Charlies, Jake I'm not sure about and Oliver is apparently on the up again.
I know of 2 new Olivers in the last 6 months or so.

I also just think Joseph is a nice name. :) And Joe is a lovely NN.

[LynetteScavo]

Joseph

[Ooopsadaisy]

I have a 14 year old Joseph - known as Joe. A good blokey name.
Our cat (now deceased) was Oliver - known as Ollie, but that shouldn't put you off.
I like all these names actually.

[harleymars]

Charlie and Jake already sound dated to me. And they are always a bit scally IME.

Joseph all the way!
