Charlie, Joseph, Jake or Oliver?

[sleepyhorse]

Please help me decide on my above shortlist!

I like Oliver and Joseph out of those the best.

Joseph.

Oliver

Joseph or Jake.

There are loads of Charlies and Olivers around here...

Are you aware that Oliver was the number one boys name for last year - thousands of them!

Joseph is my favourite of the four.
Oliver Cromwell puts me off!

I find them all too popular/dull.

Jake is my favourite but I like joseph as well, others too popular.

Charlie or Jake

Jake.

It's the least "common" (frequent) of the four.

I agree - they're all too common/overused. If I had to choose one, I'd say Joseph.

Charlie or Jake

Joseph
Jake very common around these parts.

Charlie or Oliver

Don't like Jake.

The other names are great but Oliver and Charlie are very popular. I would go for Joseph (Joe).

Joseph is the most classic,won't age.

All too common for me personally. But Oliver has the nicest sound imo.

I don't give a rat's ass how popular each name is. Both my DC have names that always seem to be in the top twenty name lists. They're popular because they are good names. I like Charlie and Jake most from your list. Good luck and best wishes.

I'm with Tidey.... They are top 20 for a reason, they're lovely names...Charlie and Oliver personally.....don't like Jake at all and Joseph is nice but do you like Joe?

in scotland jake=manky headbanger.so not jake or jakey.and not ned either as ned=plooky ne'er do well

joseph, oliver and charlie all great names.

If it were me, I would go Joseph. It is DS1s middle name but also I think there are a lot of Charlies, Jake I'm not sure about and Oliver is apparently on the up again.
I know of 2 new Olivers in the last 6 months or so.

I also just think Joseph is a nice name. :) And Joe is a lovely NN.

Joseph

I have a 14 year old Joseph - known as Joe. A good blokey name.

Our cat (now deceased) was Oliver - known as Ollie, but that shouldn't put you off.
I like all these names actually.

Charlie and Jake already sound dated to me. And they are always a bit scally IME.

Joseph all the way!
