Please could you rank them! Surname is 3 syllables.

  1. Jack - my favourite of the 3, while it's very popular (so I personally prefer underused John, nn Jack) it's simple, classic, generally nickname free and also works well with a longer surname.
  1. Jacob - nice enough (don't love, don't hate).

3.Joshua - nothing wrong with it, just not especially my taste - (possibly feels a touch 90's/early 2000's when it seemed more popular.)

Jacob

But why not wait to see which one suits baby best

I like Joshua best, then Jacob and Jack but I think that Jacob might work better with a three syllable surmame.

They’re pretty similar in terms of popularity and style, so hard to have a preference.

I probably prefer Jacob as I like Jake more than Jack or Josh.
