I know a Jackson who's 13.

And one called Pollock.

And that's it.

collision · 31/07/2007 22:57

I have a Joshua (and I love the name) but I did also like

Jude

Jake

and I do quite like

Jackson but think it is a trendy name which will be out of fashion soon.

nappyaddict · 31/07/2007 22:57

jesse, jake, jack

nappyaddict · 31/07/2007 22:56

joshua, james, jackson, jasper, jude

puppydavies · 31/07/2007 22:55

although thinking about it he started abbreviating it to zeb fairly soon after he started

puppydavies · 31/07/2007 22:54

there's an ever so well spoken (natch) radio 4 continuity announcer called zebedee.

collision · 31/07/2007 22:52

i do the same Hunker!

And also I say

'This is Jack Maynard, News at ten, in the Gulf!'

and

'this is your Captain Jack Maynard speaking...'

It just doesnt work when you say

'This is Jayden Jarooney JaJaBinks Maynard, News at ten, in the Gulf!!!'

Never done that before HM. Interesting.

dd is Lucy and ds is Tom. Neither sound quite right to me in the "promotion" bit. Love and play, yes. Career, alas no.
Damnit - the die are cast. We'll be supporting them for EVER

KalunaLoveGood · 31/07/2007 22:36

Lauren and Holly sound like Christmas names (lauren / laurel) maybe Ivy or Jasmine to keep the theme

hunkermunker · 31/07/2007 22:30

I do the play, love, promote test with names.

Can X come out to play?

I love you, X.

Let's promote X.

pooka · 31/07/2007 22:28

I know no Laurens and no Hollies, so while they're not far out names, they're in no way common or boring. Like them both. Know 5 Olivias, and like the name despite that.

Think that HM right - a more trad name might fit better with the sister's names.

pooka · 31/07/2007 22:25

from Sunday Times on names for babies

Though this was really interesting.

Hate to sound like a prude, but I really think that different isn't necessarily best when it comes to names. There are thousands to choose from, and a name used before doesn't have to be boring.

I'm personally not keen on several of the more traditional names in the article, and prefer the much more commonly-found names I chose for dd and ds.

hunkermunker · 31/07/2007 22:24

I did say don't call it that.

Because you already have children called that.

Not because they're awful names - they're not!

But I think a more traditional name would both sound nicer with Lauren and Holly and be a better thing for your son to grow up with. Lauren, Holly and Jack is nice. Lauren, Holly and Jarooney (or similar) is shite, imo.
