Which do you prefer for a boy and why?

Prefer Jacob/Jake although it's really popular.

barnsleybelle · 09/06/2009 11:37

Love Jacob, also love Jake.
Landon... really really don't like it.

lastboxoftampons · 09/06/2009 11:34

I really don't like Landon - reminds me of the Billy Dee Williams character in Star Wars films.

But Jacob is lovely.

Oh - Langdon, not Landon. Damn it! I thought i had spotted a reason for the weird popularity of the name in shubiedoos neices class!
Still, Jacob is better!

Hulababy · 08/06/2009 20:03

Jacob by far.

I don't like Landan, sorry.

violethill · 08/06/2009 19:58

One is a name, one isn't

MrsMerryHenry · 08/06/2009 16:38

Of course, Jasper Fforde!

I was thinking the OP was a Da Vinci Code fan but that's Langdon, isn't it?

Jacob

BlueChampagne · 08/06/2009 12:56

Jasper Fforde fan?

amazonianwoman · 08/06/2009 11:01

Not keen on Landon, but love Jacob/Jake (DS's name ) Only know one other Jacob so not that popular here, but wouldn't care if it was (was my grandad's name)

mopsyflopsy · 08/06/2009 10:58

Not that keen on either, really.

Jacob quite popular and don't like Jake...

Landon is just not my style...

tummytickler · 08/06/2009 10:55

Oh the Da Vinci Code could explain why there are 3 6 year oldsa called Landon in shubiedoos niece's class!

tummytickler · 08/06/2009 10:54

Jacob - very popular indeed, but lovely.
Is Landon not the main character fron the Da Vinci code books? may make it a bit 'of the moment' now the other book has been made into a film. either way i am noy a fan of Landon!

Landon reminds me of a Stephen King character, and Jacob is becoming very popular indeed.

BellaBear · 08/06/2009 07:53

Landon reminds me of Thursday Next's husband in the Jasper Fforde novels - Landon Parke-Laine

shubiedoo · 08/06/2009 02:20

No opinion really, but just had to share that my 6-year-old niece has THREE Landons in her class at school! Too funny!
Not to mention Caden, Jaden, Hayden and Braiden. You couldn't make it up!

Have you tried the dark choc n orange fairtrade bars from co-op?

thumbwitch · 08/06/2009 00:20

ooh, that's a good way to do it - I have just finished a bar of G&B milk and almond again - it's getting beyond a joke!

lagaanisace · 08/06/2009 00:15

Landon! I like it. But if you knew my 3 DC's names, you'd know I have no freedom of speech.

But seriously, Landon's great.

MrsMerryHenry · 08/06/2009 00:12

missed that one but have been online window-shopping for chocolate! Purse and waistline still intact.

CandleQueen · 08/06/2009 00:09

Jacob!!

(But I may be biased!)
My DS1 is the only Jacob we know around here.
