Oliver, definitely. Luke is all right. Jayden is hideous.

SoupDragon · 09/02/2009 17:45

Anything but Jayden.

ADealingMummy · 09/02/2009 17:44

I like Jayden, but then I quite like ''Americany'' names.
Oliver is a solid, classical name, but lots of them about.
Not into the name Luke.

MrsSeanBeanIsEmployable · 09/02/2009 17:39

Not Jayden! (sorry).

oliver

Weirdly Luke - though it used to be super-popular, it now seems the least over-used of the three - and I know a lovely grown-up Luke too which helps.

Can't stand Jayden. Don't do it! Oliver - it's OK, but there seem to be Ollies everywhere atm.

MrsBoo · 09/02/2009 17:33

Luke, not Oliver (too popular/common now)

andyrobo237 · 09/02/2009 17:29

Oliver

drlove8 · 09/02/2009 17:24

VeryAnnieMary · 09/02/2009 17:18

Oliver

dinkymum · 08/02/2009 22:59

Luke

plonker · 08/02/2009 22:59

Oliver is lovely.

Reeeeeeally don't like Jayden or Luke

magicfarawaytree · 08/02/2009 18:20

I like luke - I think jayen is fine, Oliver just a little dull, but nice. I would not worry about the 'chav' label. even in 1, 2 or even 3 years no one is going to say 'Jayden that was a real chav name in 2007/8/9'. One 'friend' made laugh with her 'that sound a bit council' comment about one of the potential names for dd2. Funny as her daughters name is Isobel - I believe a very popular in polls. Given that, I did wonder how many 'Isobels' there were on council estates that she found so offensive....

bigTillyMint · 08/02/2009 18:08

Am amazed that everyone thinks Jayden is a white chav name.

It's quite a popular black boys name round here!

Haha how funny - Jayden is my favourite and I'd never even considered it to be chavtastic - but by the overwhelming replies - I think it might be.

I wanted something a bit simple but different but I think he's gonna be Luke if I'm honest...

not Jayden.

lastboxoftampons · 08/02/2009 17:38

Luke, definitely.
I really don't like Oliver and I hate Ollie even more!
Don't really care for Jayden either - makes me think of Britney.

TrulyMadBadandDeeply · 08/02/2009 17:19

Luke is by far the nicest and goes well with Charlie. Oliver is a nice name but like David in the 1970s - bound to be at least 2 in every class at school.

tankie · 08/02/2009 17:13

Don't like Jayden at all.

Luke and Oliver are both nice, Oliver goes better with Charlie I think.

Oliver- definitely
Luke- at a push (but Lucas/Luca nicer)
Jayden- just don't go there

Frasersmum123 · 08/02/2009 17:01
