Really like these three names and wondered if others would too!

Jasper has been my longtime favourite!

Ezra is becoming hideously popular. Its an OK name. Jasper is fantastic and uber cool; shame it is our cat's name. Silas is the name of an ancestor on my family tree. He was a farmer's son who died at the Somme.

Jasper is fab but popular here. Casper is great too.

Dislike Ezra, its like Esme gone wrong.

Silas is my favourite.

Jasper is lovely and is our 'if we were brave enough' name.

Silas - yuk, serial killer in Hollyoaks!

We were going to use Ezra, so it's Ezzie/Ezra all the way for me.

Love all 3. Silas Marner was my favourite literature text at school. I think Ezra just sneaks ahead for me (Vampire Weekend fan) but I do adore Jasper too only I would have to avoid as is the name of friend's dog unfortunately Sad
