Which of these boys names?

[paddlepie]

Aaron
Samuel
Jack
Sebastian
Adam

Adam
Well known but will be uncommon in this generation. All the Adams I know are 25+

Jack

I know, I know, it's very popular but just love the name.

Should add, we have a very unusual surname which we always have to spell out so would like a recognisable, easy to spell first name. Don't want the poor boy to have to spell out his whole name all the time!

I love Jack too, my only niggle is the popularity. Think a popular first name with a weird unusual surname would be ok though?

Yes I think so, but I'm sure someone will come along and say you cannot possibly think of calling your child such a popular name.

Sebastian

Really don't like Aaron or Adam, and Jack and Samuel are far too popular at the moment.

wow, didn't think it would be that quick

Jack

Adam.

How long is your surname? If its short, Sebastian, if long, Adam :)

You could call him John and have Jack as a pet name. That's how it started out.

Then you have Johnny and Jonty as alternatives as well.

By the way, I know thousands of little boys, and I only know 3 Jacks.

I know Jack was the most popular boys name for about 10 years on the trot but I only know one Jack and I know a lot of children. I wouldn't worry about popularity of names. When ds1 started nursery there were about 5 boys called Louis in his class and yet Louis wasn't even that high in the top 100.

I know loads of Adams, so I wouldn't say it was unpopular with this generation.

I love Sebastian. I like Samuel and Jack, though they are very popular too.

Not keen on Aaron.

I love all of them,other than Jack.It's ok,but every second boy seems to be called Jack.

If your surname is as described then I'd go with Adam.

Adam is very nice, classic, and easy with difficult surname.

Jack

Sam is lovely! And not as common as Adam

I have an Adam and he is the only one of his age group that I know of round these parts! He loves his name- occasional nn 'Ads'

If your surname is really difficult, I'd rule out Aaron and Sebastian. Choose either Samuel (Sam), Jack or Adam - all of which are nice but have the bonus of being quite short and easy to say/spell.

Adam and Samuel lovely
Aaron like
Jack -just know too many
Sebastian- really dislike this sorry

Samuel.

Aaron is very 60s/70s, same with Adam
Jack - too popular
Sebastian - nn Seb very offputting to me

Samuel - but then I would ;)
