I like them all. I am slightly biased as DS is Harry so I obviously love that but other than that my favourites are Jacob and James

RickGhastley · 25/05/2012 20:09

Lovely list!

Jacob is my fave, then Elliott.

survivingspring · 25/05/2012 20:10

Harry or Benjamin - they are very popular but classic nonetheless!

Psammead · 25/05/2012 20:14

In order

Jacob
James
Benjamin
Elliot
Harry

All very nice!

LuvileeJubilee · 25/05/2012 20:14

Well James is clearly the best Wink

Like them all except Harry - you just don't get barristers or doctors called Harry.

Elliot is lovely. Benjamin quite common now but also lovely, Jacob nn Jake lovely too, was on our shortlist.

DairyNips · 25/05/2012 20:18

Elliot and Jacob are my favouritesSmile

WowOoo · 25/05/2012 20:20

Jacob, James and Benjamin in that order. Perhaps. Like them all in fact.

AWomanCalledHorse · 25/05/2012 20:22

In order of likey-ness
James (hate Jim/Jimmy, would've been on our list if there wasn't 4 in our families)
Jacob (love)
Benjamin (love, but hate Ben!)
Harry (dislike nicknames as names, personal thing).
Elliot (ET, all I think of when I hear it).

Pinkcate · 25/05/2012 20:23

James
Harry
Jacob
Elliot
Benjamin
In that order all nice but love James .

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 26/05/2012 23:28

Not over fond of Elliot and really dislike Harry. The others are lovely but James is my favourite.

xTonixxx · 26/05/2012 23:36

Like Harry & James

Just not fond of Benjamin, Elliot & Jacob, I couldn't imagine calling a child or a grown man by these names.

shoobidoo · 27/05/2012 07:56

There are 4 Harry's in ds's class, two of which have the same surname! Very annoying for everyone involved.

StepOutOfSpring · 27/05/2012 09:31

Harry - like, but only as nickname for Henry
Elliot - quite like
Jacob - OK, and Jake is nice nickname
James - like
Benjamin - OK, prefer Benedict though

xTonixxx · 27/05/2012 11:10

I know Prince Harry's real name is Henry so it obviously is used as a nickname and sorry If I'm being thick but how is Harry a nickname for Henry? They are equal in length and entirely different names Confused

fi51 · 28/05/2012 16:09

I love the name jacob best but they are all lovely even if james is a little bit used it is still a classic

MagdalenaAlec · 28/05/2012 16:15

I love James! Probably would have put it on our own list if it was not labelled as "US TV series addict" in France (which I am... :o)

Mama1980 · 28/05/2012 16:18

Love Jacob the best but all are nice

Stellan · 28/05/2012 16:31

My preference is:

James and Benjamin
Jacob
Harry
Elliot

I wouldn't want to be called Elliot in a class full of Ellies and I am sure there will be at least one in your son's class (be she an Ellie or Eleanor or whatever).

HalleB · 30/05/2012 05:04

Harry is cute. :)

jaggythistle · 30/05/2012 05:53

Jacob and Elliot are my favorites too.
