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

I like Oliver the best out of the four.

They're all so popular as to be blah.

I used to really like George but now every other kid is called it. I think names should identify, rather than get lost in a sea of same.

That said:

1.George

  1. Henry
  2. Jacob
  1. Oliver (sounds like a mouthful of marbles and it's EVERYWHERE)

Jacob by miles. It's my favourite boys name of all time.

When I chose names I always thought of the inevitable nn each would produce. Ds has Oliver as a nn as I hate Ollie...
If you don't like nn /shortenings then Henry is your go to choice from above!
My dcat is Henry and I love it!!
And him!!
