It feels like we're going around in circles and we have resigned ourselves to the fact that we won't have chosen for certain before the birth.
We do however have our final shortlist of five names and so I thought I'd see what all of you lovely people think :)

Fergus
Jasper
Ezekiel
Sidney
Titus

The middle name will probably be Henry, William, George or James, depending on which goes best with the first name we choose.

So, which is best??

Love Ezekiel with nn Zeke. Fergus and Sidney are fab names too. Not a fan of Titus and know a realy unpleasant 10yr old Jasper that puts me off the name.

I like Fergus, Jasper and Titus the best. Titus is quite common in Germany (pronounced Tee-tus). All great names that aren't overused.

Fergus -- Fabulous
Jasper -- lovely, but also a popular name for dogs
Ezekiel -- Fabulous
Sidney -- lovely, but it's heading into girls' name territory fast
Titus -- 'tights'

So Fergus and Ezekiel, and possibly Sidney.

I like Titus best but worry about popularity. I love Jasper and don't think it will ever get too popular as it's considered a posh name which is fine in my book!

I like Fergus. I know Sidney is definitely a boy's name but I suspect it is going to be used more as a girl's name due to US TV and that might bother your DS.

Jasper for sure.

Hassled · 07/11/2010 19:59

See who he looks like when he arrives - he'll match one of them. DS2 was going to be a Patrick - but when he arrived he just didn't look like a Patrick.

I think I like Sidney best from your list.

I love Jasper and Fergus, and like Sidney. Not so keen on Ezekiel, and I think Titus is a tease-me name (tight arse).

Skyrg · 07/11/2010 19:58

Out of all of them I'd say Jasper is the best. I think Ezekiel is becoming more common though...
I like Titus but I don't think giving a child a name containing the word 'tit' is a good idea, sadly.

Fergus and Jasper are ok.....the others are too wacky.
