When I chose names I always thought of the inevitable nn each would produce. Ds has Oliver as a nn as I hate Ollie...
If you don't like nn /shortenings then Henry is your go to choice from above!
My dcat is Henry and I love it!!
And him!!

I work with young children and it seems most of them are called Henry, George, Oliver or Jacob

LotusClover · 28/06/2020 14:18

Jacob by miles. It's my favourite boys name of all time.

LividLaughLovely · 28/06/2020 14:18

They're all so popular as to be blah.

I used to really like George but now every other kid is called it. I think names should identify, rather than get lost in a sea of same.

That said:

1.George

  1. Henry
  2. Jacob
  1. Oliver (sounds like a mouthful of marbles and it's EVERYWHERE)

I like Oliver the best out of the four.

hiredandsqueak · 28/06/2020 14:27

I like Henry best and then George, Jacob, Oliver.

DramaAlpaca · 28/06/2020 15:41

In order of preference:
Henry
Oliver
Jacob
George

Whatsyourflava · 28/06/2020 16:04

I think my favourite is George but really love all your choices

Whatsyourflava · 28/06/2020 16:04

Such lovely classics! There's two boys called Fox at my child's school. No one called Oliver. Always find that funny.

Jacob 😍

Fiddlersgreen · 28/06/2020 17:00

I love them all and two of your choices are my two DS’ names.
Sorry not helpful at all Grin

I don't think you can go wrong with any of them!

whenwillthemadnessend · 28/06/2020 20:35

George or Jacob.

motherf88 · 28/06/2020 20:36

My DSs have two of those four names so I'm probably biased Grin

tanqueray10 · 28/06/2020 20:36

Love them all. I have a Henry and a George and they are both the only ones with those names in their school!
