Isaac all the way here for me, My ds2 is Isaac James :) I just love the name and Isaac George sounds lovely. Go for it! Good luck with the baby xx

babeinthewood · 10/01/2011 23:33

Isaac is great with George. My DS1's middle name is george but sometimes I wish Id used it as a first name!

Isaac is lovely, goes well with George and means 'laughter' which is a great meaning.

Clueless79 · 10/01/2011 19:58

Isaac and Milo are lovely and go with George. Have you thought of George as first name?

Thanks everybody, we are now leaning towards Arlo or Jasper, we will see what the little fella looks like when he comes out (smile) xx

I think Milo, Arlo and Isaac go best with George, and they're all lovely names.

Personally I'd lean towards Milo or Arlo as they're more unusual names, but I am fond of Isaac too.

George is a nice solid, friendly sounding name, but quite conservative and better as a middle name IMO.

Hello,

This may be a little late if you've already made up your mind, but for what's it's worth:

Jasper - Nice, a bit different
Milo - Not keen - not sure why
Arlo - Like this a lot
Joel - I have difficulty pronouncing this for some reason
Isaac - nice, but depends on your surname as it can sound like "I suck" - if your surname is a noun it may sound inappropriate (e.g. Sara Cox' son is called Isaac - hopefully he has his father's surname rather than hers...)

Good luck!

ThatllDoPig · 09/01/2011 11:40

I like Joel best from your list too. but agree that is doesn't go with George.
George is the best name! Use it for first!

JiltedJohnsJulie · 09/01/2011 09:11

They are ok but much prefer George.

tummytickler · 09/01/2011 00:59

Isaac George is lovely.
Or George Isaac.

anythingwithagiraffeonit · 09/01/2011 00:15

Jasper is a really lovely name! And it is perfect for baby / child / teen / adult which is rare... X

llareggub · 07/01/2011 22:07

Just call the kid George!

LittleYellowTeapot · 07/01/2011 22:05

From your list I'd choose Jasper Smile

Maternelle · 07/01/2011 21:44

Jasper or Milo. I really dislike Isaac.

Jasper

Edmundo · 07/01/2011 19:45

I like Jasper and Milo best. Arlo is ok but is too much like Harlow. All very 'on the up' names mind.

theagedparent · 07/01/2011 18:28

Milo

MistletoeMush · 07/01/2011 18:25

I think Jasper will date as will Milo and perhaps Arlo. I love Joel but don't like the sound of it with George. Like Isaac but it is quite popular

CupcakesHay · 07/01/2011 18:12

Love Joel - but doesn't go with george.

Then Milo then Jasper then isaac then arlo - which i hate. sorry!

earwicga · 07/01/2011 18:07

Isaac

JojoMags · 07/01/2011 18:06

I'd go for Isaac George, which is lovely, or Milo as second choice. Agree with others that Joel and Jasper don't go with George, and really not keen on Arlo (sorry) - reminds me of Aldi and Netto for some reason!

SlightlyTubbyHali · 07/01/2011 18:03

Jasper George - 2 clothing lines (Debenhams and Asda)
Milo George - is fine
Arlo George - I like, but perhaps not if you live in Essex
Joel George - to me these seem a little incongruous. Perhaps because Joel makes me think of america in the 1980 and George is a "grandad" name, so not sure about this one
Isaac George - tbh I just loathe the name Isaac for no reason at all. I'm clearly in a serious minority here though!

Sorry, I'm never much help with boys names, but out of those I reckon Arlo would probably be my preferred one.

Or perhaps I'd use George as a first name.,..

morethanyoubargainfor · 07/01/2011 17:57

Jasper-like it on its own but not with george.

Milo-like this one

Arlo-Love this one, my favourite from your list

Joel-same as Jasper

Isaac-like this one a close second to arlo

NewYearNewPants · 07/01/2011 17:56

I love Joel and quite like Isaac and Arlo. Not keen on Milo at all, sorry (dog's name!).

Isaac George sounds good

I like Joel better, but Joel George just does not go.
