almostanotherday · 24/04/2013 09:49

One of them is my DC name lol

KittenofDoom · 24/04/2013 10:25

I like all of them, but can't put them in any kind of order without knowing the surname. Can you give some clues, eg no of syllables, starts with, rhymes with?

rundontwalk · 24/04/2013 10:57

James Alexander definitely. Then Joseph, Robert, Stephen, Paul and lastly Dennis.

TenthMuse · 24/04/2013 13:05

James Alexander definitely top. Then Robert, Joseph, Stephen, Paul (doesn't flow imo) and Dennis.

OneFingerSjupesUpTheYoni · 24/04/2013 13:08

James paul is really lovely.

TheCatInTheHairnet · 24/04/2013 13:10

I like the name, Dennis. The only Dennis I know is 30, very very cool and funny and his name really suits him.

TicketyToc · 24/04/2013 14:10

James Alexander
James Paul
James Robert
James Joseph
James Dennis
James Stephen

fussychica · 24/04/2013 16:54

Alexander by a mile, then Robert, Joseph, Stephen, Paul not Dennis.

picnicbasketcase · 24/04/2013 16:55

Exactly as above ^

OrangeFootedScrubfowl · 24/04/2013 17:33

I would want to avoid the nicknames JJ, JD, JR, ad JP.
So that leaves me with James Stephen and James Alexander. Because I've never heard of anyone known as JS or JA! Out of them, I think James Alexander flows more nicely.

MotherOfNations · 24/04/2013 17:35

James Alexander here too.
