what do you think of Jared as a boys name?

[MonkeyingAroundTown]

I am struggling to think or find a boys name

I don't think I like it particularly.

I was in school with a Jared and then there was David Bowie in Labyrinth followed by Toadie in Neighbours- the only 3 I have ever heard of.

I really like the name, it's unusual without being too out-there.

I went to school with loads of Jareds! Must have been something in the water of the Pacific Northwest 40 years ago....

I know a Jared from York. Sister is Abigail. Don't love or hate either name tbh.

I dislike it, sorry.

Strongly dislike.

Naughty boy's name. It's the modern version of Darren (to me). Sorry!

Really don't like it at all.

I'm not keen, sorry. But then you might not might like my choices either .

I think I like it.

Ruby bit bitchy of you to put the boy's surname in your post, especially as it's quite an unusual one.

well he was 5. no doubt he is now someone's dh. will ask for it to be removed.

It's a Hebrew name meaning "he who descended" (from the root yud resh daled, meaning descent). I like it.

It just sounds so clunky, as if the two syllables don't match in any way.

There's one in DDs preschool who keeps scratching and hurting her. So to me it is a nasty, vicious bully name. Sorry. Probably there are some nice ones about too.

i think it has chav potential, sorry.

Jared Leto. My So Called Life.

I like it.

It's OK.

Love it.

Not my cup of tea.
