What does everybody think of the name Jason? Our middle name for a boy is going to be Orlando.

Too many broken hearts in the world.....

I put it in the same bracket as Kevin, Brian and Gary.

I like it. DS has a similar name from the same sort of generation. He’s the only one in school.

I love it. It's a nice sound It's biblical and mythical.
I also love Paul.

I like it. It's unusual now! However I do think of Jason and Uncle Bryn and that fishing trip off Gavin and Stacey!

I think it's quite sweet but very dated. The youngest one I know is in his early 20s.

I like the meaning and the Jason and the Argonaughts stories.

I don't like it on a personal, but it's not the worse name in the world, and It'll be a refreshing changes from all the Charlies Noah Harrys and Alfies

It’s from Greek mythology at the end of the day!

I really like it but probably wouldn’t use it for the ‘common’ connotations Brendasumbrella alludes to. But I think it’s a lovely name and would like those connotations to change.

I think Jason is a middle aged man with a sister called Sharon - however I'm old enough to have laughed my arse off the first time I saw a newborn baby called Alfie and now grandma/grandpa names have been everywhere for nearly a decade. So the Jasons, Garys, Sharons and Carols will be coming back. You might be a trend setter!
