Final 3: Joseph, Jacob or Leo. Help me decide!

[Autumnrose123]

We’ve finally got our shortlist down to 3 which wasn’t easy. I really love these 3 names now and would love to know what your favourite of these would be. I appreciate they are not the most ‘original’ of names and all appear in the most popular lists. However, strangely none appear to be very popular in our area ( yet! ) so we really don’t mind. Just really interested in honest thoughts when you hear each name and opinions on best name from these 3.

Leo!

Leo is nice but it's so common now.

Good choices op!
I have a Leo and I love, love his name. It sounds both strong yet melodious. No others in his class or at nursery (am in the SE).
I’m pregnant with DS3 and I love the nn Joe and Joey but for reasons of association only I’m not so keen on Joseph. I’m looking at other ‘Jo’ names that could give the same nn- ie Josiah but not sure if I love it enough.
I have Jacob on the short list again as I like this name too. I used to hate the potential nn ‘Jay’ but I quite like it now. It’s supposedly popular but I only know one (who is 9).
So in short my favourite is Leo then Jacob then Joseph but you can’t go wrong!

Joseph. There’s a million Leo’s and Jacobs out there.

I personally like the name Leo. It means "brave man" in German.

All lovely, but I'd go with Jacob.

Jacob, we have a Jacob not met another one yet and he is 15.

I looove Leo!

Joseph is also great, and I do agree that it’s the most timeless.

Leo Joseph. Job done

Jacob for me.

Joseph. Loads of Jacobs at DS's school. Not keen on Leo.

Leo....you can't shorten it!

Joseph. But I’m biased because I have one!

I like Leo it's one of ours too.

Joseph

Joseph. Classic and gorgeous.
