We have a Charlie and are most probably going for Jack for this one.
I adore Oscar but DP hates it.
DP likes Jake but it reminds me of the Tweenie and I can't say "Jake" without saying it in his voice.
I like Luke but it sounds like Puke

Deacon reminds me of Donnie Deacon

Posey - I started singing as soon as I read it!

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

zebraa, what is YOUR favourite???

Posey · 09/01/2009 18:10

Am I the only one who thought Deacon Blue?

horsemadgal · 09/01/2009 18:10

Jake or Oscar, can't make up my mind.

sunnygirl1412 · 09/01/2009 18:10

I have a Luke - so may I say it's a darned fine name!

Posey · 09/01/2009 18:08

Jake

StripeyKnickersSpottySocks · 09/01/2009 18:07

Luke.

Deacon maes me think of arch-deacons, bishops, etc.

Don't like Riley (sorry to any mothers of Riley).

Also like Oscar but not as much as Luke.

ComeWhineWithMe · 09/01/2009 17:59

Oscar ,have not read everyone else's answers yet so have not been swayed .

janeite · 09/01/2009 17:59

Jake - tis okay but doesn't excite me much
Oscar - love it
Riley - hate it
Deacon - hate it
Luke - love it

I meant Paul Newman

2pt4kids · 09/01/2009 17:58

Jake goes lovely with Charlie

MadamAnt · 09/01/2009 17:55

Luke

As in Cool Hand

As in Steve McQueen

FiveGoMadInDorset · 09/01/2009 17:40

Oscar

backalleysally · 09/01/2009 17:40

I wanted Ds to be called Oscar but DP didnt like it.....I was gutted! But he now has an equally lovely name

Luke

Divineintervention · 09/01/2009 17:23

Oscar.
Not Deacon as it reminds me of joey.

MarchNowFebMum · 09/01/2009 17:22

Oscar, Oskar or Jake

Really don't like Riley or Deacon, don't seem masculine enough (although I do like the Irish 'Declan')

LoveMyLapTop · 09/01/2009 17:18

Oscar
