I'm due in 6 weeks friedeggs so exciting! Grin DS names are tough!

Jasper - Love
Milo - Like
Arlo - Not keen but it's okay
Joel - Don't think it goes well with George
Isaac - Don't hate but don't really like either!

Good Luck xx

Really like Isaac

yousankmybattleship · 07/01/2011 17:36

Great names. Favourite is Isaac. I love Joel but don't think it sounds good with George.

onimolap · 07/01/2011 17:37

Joel and Jasper are my favourites.

Isaac is OK.

Milo is a Tweenie, and Arlo doesn't do it for me. You could however combine the two into Marlowe, which I think is a wonderful name.

Eglu · 07/01/2011 17:37

I like most of those but Jasper is my absolute favourite

mathanxiety · 07/01/2011 17:43

Isaac by a long shot.

ShoppingDays · 07/01/2011 17:51

Jasper - OK
Milo - quite like
Arlo - Harlow, not keen
Joel - OK
Isaac - like

I'd go for Isaac George or Milo George. I don't think the J names flow as well (Jasper George, Joel George).

How about

Oliver
Samuel
Noah
Felix
Daniel
Eli
Aaron
Benjamin
Nathaniel
Zachary
Miles
Clement
Lawrence
Leo(pold)
Theo(dore)
Edwin
Owen
Frederick

I love Joel and quite like Isaac and Arlo. Not keen on Milo at all, sorry (dog's name!).

Isaac George sounds good

I like Joel better, but Joel George just does not go.

morethanyoubargainfor · 07/01/2011 17:57

Jasper-like it on its own but not with george.

Milo-like this one

Arlo-Love this one, my favourite from your list

Joel-same as Jasper

Isaac-like this one a close second to arlo

SlightlyTubbyHali · 07/01/2011 18:03

Jasper George - 2 clothing lines (Debenhams and Asda)
Milo George - is fine
Arlo George - I like, but perhaps not if you live in Essex
Joel George - to me these seem a little incongruous. Perhaps because Joel makes me think of america in the 1980 and George is a "grandad" name, so not sure about this one
Isaac George - tbh I just loathe the name Isaac for no reason at all. I'm clearly in a serious minority here though!

Sorry, I'm never much help with boys names, but out of those I reckon Arlo would probably be my preferred one.

Or perhaps I'd use George as a first name.,..

JojoMags · 07/01/2011 18:06

I'd go for Isaac George, which is lovely, or Milo as second choice. Agree with others that Joel and Jasper don't go with George, and really not keen on Arlo (sorry) - reminds me of Aldi and Netto for some reason!

earwicga · 07/01/2011 18:07

Isaac

CupcakesHay · 07/01/2011 18:12

Love Joel - but doesn't go with george.

Then Milo then Jasper then isaac then arlo - which i hate. sorry!

MistletoeMush · 07/01/2011 18:25

I think Jasper will date as will Milo and perhaps Arlo. I love Joel but don't like the sound of it with George. Like Isaac but it is quite popular

theagedparent · 07/01/2011 18:28

Milo

Edmundo · 07/01/2011 19:45

I like Jasper and Milo best. Arlo is ok but is too much like Harlow. All very 'on the up' names mind.

Rhubarbgarden · 07/01/2011 19:48

Jasper

Jasper or Milo. I really dislike Isaac.

LittleYellowTeapot · 07/01/2011 22:05

From your list I'd choose Jasper Smile

llareggub · 07/01/2011 22:07

Just call the kid George!

anythingwithagiraffeonit · 09/01/2011 00:15

Jasper is a really lovely name! And it is perfect for baby / child / teen / adult which is rare... X

tummytickler · 09/01/2011 00:59

Isaac George is lovely.
Or George Isaac.

JiltedJohnsJulie · 09/01/2011 09:11

They are ok but much prefer George.

ThatllDoPig · 09/01/2011 11:40

I like Joel best from your list too. but agree that is doesn't go with George.
George is the best name! Use it for first!
