I'm not sure what I think of it? Have only known one Jared, about 10 years older than me. V nice man. Where does it appear in the bible?

I don't think I love it...but could grow it. It's non-offensive in how it sounds..(!)

I love it.

It's one of my favorite boys names.

chattychattyboomba · 27/04/2013 19:29

Really hate it.

ChasingStaplers · 27/04/2013 19:27

I like it.

Also know a little boy called Jaren.

Never watched Neighbours, so I don't know who or what Toadie is, nor what it has to do with Jared.

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 27/04/2013 19:21

Hate it, sorry - but I used to teach an evil one.

BNmum · 27/04/2013 16:35

I'm with you AnneEyhtMeyer, it makes me think of Toadie from neighbours

Awful. No no no no no.

I think of Toadie from Neighbours.

I like it and know one, known as Jed.

The goblin king is Jareth. DP would not let me use it. Angry

I love it!

KittenofDoom · 27/04/2013 10:59

I like it. One of the less common Biblical names, although I suspect it may be on the up.

bridgetsmum · 27/04/2013 10:48

Hate it! Sorry.

My fave boys name is Declan xx
