Really like these three names and wondered if others would too!

Jasper has been my longtime favourite!

Jasper by a mile or two.

LargeBustedMamma · 20/03/2014 00:08

Ezra is becoming hideously popular. Its an OK name. Jasper is fantastic and uber cool; shame it is our cat's name. Silas is the name of an ancestor on my family tree. He was a farmer's son who died at the Somme.

Jasper would be my choice from your list.

007licencetospill · 18/03/2014 21:25

Jasper is fab but popular here. Casper is great too.

Dislike Ezra, its like Esme gone wrong.

Silas is my favourite.

Jasper is lovely and is our 'if we were brave enough' name.

Silas - yuk, serial killer in Hollyoaks!

AntsMarching · 17/03/2014 11:28

Ezra. Love this name.

Mintyy · 16/03/2014 22:36

Ezra, but I'm afraid I don't love it.

RufusTheReindeer · 16/03/2014 22:35

Like Ezra

Jasper is nice as well (I know a jasper and he is quite cute)

Prefer Ezra though

nooka · 16/03/2014 22:33

We were going to use Ezra, so it's Ezzie/Ezra all the way for me.

ViviPru · 16/03/2014 22:22

Love all 3. Silas Marner was my favourite literature text at school. I think Ezra just sneaks ahead for me (Vampire Weekend fan) but I do adore Jasper too only I would have to avoid as is the name of friend's dog unfortunately Sad

morehelpneeded123 · 16/03/2014 20:08

i love Ezra

Ludways · 16/03/2014 19:23

Jasper, don't like the other two.

What about Seth, I love Seth!

PunkAssMoFo · 16/03/2014 19:12

Jasper or Ezra.

Silas is awful

kimlo · 16/03/2014 16:45

Ezra or Silas.

Actually I cant decide between the two.

toobreathless · 16/03/2014 16:43

Love Jasper

Ezra is ok, not my thing but a good solid name.

Silas reminds me of Silage sorry.

SimplySara · 16/03/2014 12:39

In order of preference: Ezra, Jasper, and then lagging far behind, Silas.

Bowlersarm · 16/03/2014 12:32

Silas is the best.

Ezra is ok.

Don't like Jasper.
