Still can’t decide on a boys name and he’s arriving imminently!!

Jack
Jesse
Charlie

What do you think? One syllable surname beginning with S that I think they all go with! Thanks ☺️

Like them all. Id only rule out Jack as there are approx two to three per class at my local high school! Jesse is great, but since surname starts with s, that might be what pushed me to Charlie.

Enough4me · 23/06/2021 22:52

Jack is a good strong name.
Jesse sounds like Jessie (Jessica).
Charlie is too popular.

MojoJojo71 · 23/06/2021 22:51

Jesse, I love it
Jacks and Charlies are ten a penny around here but I only know one little Jesse

kezziethegingercat · 23/06/2021 22:43

I'd go with Jesse or Jack. I find Charlie really boring but it seems to be very popular so I'm probably alone.

Tatum1234 · 23/06/2021 22:42

Jesse is lovely. Jack and Charlie are a bit boring.

wizzler · 23/06/2021 22:38

Jack or Charles

Gracie65 · 23/06/2021 22:37

Charlie, lovely name and having two syllables to go with one syllable surname sounds better.

snoopy8 · 23/06/2021 22:35

We have VERY similar taste in names!
Jack was my top choice if I'd had a boy (I didn't) but since then Jesse has pipped it to the post so if I had a boy now I'd want Jesse!

Charlie also lovely. Go with your gut Smile

I love Jesse but ‘you great Jesse’ is still used as an insult around here (not by me!).

Jack is so generic. It feels almost like calling a child, ‘Boy’.

Charlie is nice but I too would use Charles on BC.

YukoandHiro · 23/06/2021 22:27

Charlie (although maybe put Charles on the birth certificate)

Whatwouldnanado · 23/06/2021 22:26

Not Jesse. Jack Charles?

roxisolerenshaw · 23/06/2021 22:24

Jack

Mosaic123 · 23/06/2021 22:15

Not Jesse.

Bodgers · 23/06/2021 21:20

Jack

CatCup · 23/06/2021 21:18

Jack

SpeckledyHen · 23/06/2021 21:17

Charlie.

Standrewsschool · 23/06/2021 21:14

Why don’t you wait until he arrives, and then see which name suits him best?

ZingDramaQueenOfSheeba · 23/06/2021 21:10

Charlie

Livpool · 23/06/2021 21:07

Jack or Charlie

BikeRunSki · 23/06/2021 21:07

I really like Jesse, and it’s far, far less popular than the other 2.

TheVamoosh · 23/06/2021 21:04

Charlie is one of those cutesy names that sounds wrong on adults, in my opinion.

MamaWeasel · 23/06/2021 21:04

You can't go wrong with Jack

Disfordarkchocolate · 23/06/2021 21:02

Jack is the only one I like.

GeorgiaGirl52 · 23/06/2021 21:01

Not Jesse with an S surname. Sounds too "hissy"

newmumfeb21 · 23/06/2021 21:01

Charlie
