George, Henry, Oliver or Jacob? DH and I cant decide on these names for DS due in a few weeks. What are people’s preferences? Vote! Thanks

Thanks everyone for your preferences. George is getting quite popular in our area too but Henry not so much....so might be a Henry. Still got a few weeks to decide :)

I used to like George, but then got a job in a secondary school and every George was a naughty kid so could never use it now.

Henry is lovely though. Def my favourite from your list

All nice names, Oliver a bit too popular but Jacob would be my fave

DanniArthur · 28/06/2020 21:15

Henry is my favourite. George is a close second though

UnicornW · 28/06/2020 21:12

Honestly I would go back to the drawing board. They are all very average/plain names.

Logoplanter · 28/06/2020 21:06

All lovely names. My order of preference is:

  1. Jacob
  2. George
  3. Oliver
  4. Henry

I have a Jacob so I'm biased though!

rainbowbowrain · 28/06/2020 21:05

Oliver
Henry
George
Jacob

Two of my sons names are on that list Hmm

Love them all. I have a Henry and a George and they are both the only ones with those names in their school!

motherf88 · 28/06/2020 20:36

My DSs have two of those four names so I'm probably biased Grin

Sorry not helpful at all Grin

Jacob 😍

Whatsyourflava · 28/06/2020 16:04

Such lovely classics! There's two boys called Fox at my child's school. No one called Oliver. Always find that funny.

Whatsyourflava · 28/06/2020 16:04

I think my favourite is George but really love all your choices

DramaAlpaca · 28/06/2020 15:41

In order of preference:
Henry
Oliver
Jacob
George
