Jake.

Fits in with posh and chav.

Simple.

Popular, but not over-done.

Cool name for a teenager.

Boys names are hard to choose, aren't they?

Helsbels4 · 10/01/2009 15:09

Oscar definitely

RachieB · 10/01/2009 15:00

Oscar

fizzpops · 10/01/2009 09:41

Jake - but also like Jacob

Not sure about Riley and Deacon

Like Oscar and Luke but wouldn't be right for one of my children (but you aren't having one of my children )

Jake

I would just wait until he's born. I had a list of a few names and when ds was born one just felt right.

FriendNeedsHelp · 09/01/2009 23:11

Luke.

MrsWeasley · 09/01/2009 23:10

Riley

cheesesarnie · 09/01/2009 23:08

oscar or luke.

xxhunnyxx · 09/01/2009 23:02

Do u not like Jack instead of Jake? I think Jack and Charlie go well together.
I think Jake is a bit chavy, Oscar is quite nice. Or what about Alfie? Alfie and Charlie sound lovely (IMO)

Luke

GossipMonger · 09/01/2009 19:02

5 Lukes in Reception

Jake is fab!

Charlie and Jake go well together

Deacon is vile but because it reminds me of someone with the surname of Deakin and I cannot bear them!

How can you have a normal name like Charlie and then want to go with Deacon????? Please dont do it.

tis like having John and Levi - they just dont go together!

MKG · 09/01/2009 18:59

Luke is very popular right now.

noonki · 09/01/2009 18:46

I know 2 oscars - we almost used it but am so glad we didn't I think it is going to be a real 'Oscar darling' type name

I like Jake and Luke

theowlwhowasafraidofthedark · 09/01/2009 18:42

Jake

BigHotMama · 09/01/2009 18:42

idobelieveinfairies · 09/01/2009 18:37

WorzselMummage · 09/01/2009 18:36

Is Deacon a name?

Sorry it does remind me of the name calling in the 80s (joey and all that)

Oscar is the nicest from the list I think
Jake is nice too
