Im really struggling deciding between these names:
Oscar Alexander (last name)
Noah James (last name)
Christopher Jace (last name)

Im not dead set on the middle names, its just the first name im struggling with, any opinions are appreciated, even if its just with a different middle name

Christopher James.

FriedasCarLoad · 07/07/2020 20:45

Love Christopher. Classic and so underused at the moment. Do you mean Jace or James as a middle name? Prefer the latter unless maybe Jace is a family name?

daisypond · 07/07/2020 20:49

Christopher is my top- it’s fresh these days.
Oscar is fine.
Definitely not Noah.

Disfordarkchocolate · 07/07/2020 20:51

Love Christopher, don't like Jace. Like all the rest.

Shayisgreat · 07/07/2020 20:53

I like James Oscar or Oscar James. I really like James.

SilverOtter · 07/07/2020 20:56

I like Alexander; it's one of my sons middle names. Not keen on the rest, but Alexander is a lovely name so I'd definitely keep itSmile

DramaAlpaca · 07/07/2020 20:58

Christopher, with James as a middle name would be my preference.

ShyTown · 07/07/2020 21:03

Christoper James (I’m presuming Jace is a typo?) is my favourite but they’re all really nice names and you can’t really wrong with any of them.

yelyah22 · 07/07/2020 21:05

Noah James for me.

I like Oscar, nothing wrong with that. Christopher is classic but the nicknames are both bad - Chris is a 37 year old accountant's name and Topher is unbearably twee!

Lobsterquadrille2 · 07/07/2020 21:05

I like five of your names - less keen on Jace. I particularly like Christopher, and have a great friend who is 60 and has never been known as Chris, Kit etc.

Chattercino · 07/07/2020 21:08

Christopher too, nn Kit, if you like that. Jace is awful. James is a lovely middle name

123Dancewithme · 07/07/2020 21:09

Christopher James. Don’t like Jace.

user1493494961 · 07/07/2020 21:09

Alexander James, if not then Noah James.

yelyah22 · 07/07/2020 21:11

Oh I forgot about Kit! I like that as a nickname for Christopher (not that it matters what I think if you like them!)

JollyGiraffe12 · 07/07/2020 21:12

Christopher James

cptartapp · 07/07/2020 21:15

Christopher James or Alexander James
Strongly dislike Noah and Jace.

AdaColeman · 07/07/2020 21:16

Christopher James, by a long way.
I’m not keen on Oscar, and Noah is already hugely popular.
Don’t like Jace, but Jason is nice, if a bit dated.

Catlover77 · 07/07/2020 21:31

Definitely not Noah. James is a lovely name

emilybrontescorsett · 07/07/2020 22:43

I prefer Christopher too.

Alongcameacat · 07/07/2020 22:50

Alexander or James.

Not Noah or Jace. I'm not a fan of Christopher either not only because it will be shortened to Chris.

janetmendoza · 07/07/2020 23:57

Christopher is due a revival, Alexander is also nice. Oscar is a cats name.

Buffyanne · 08/07/2020 03:12

I like Christopher Jace. That pairing really goes nicely together!

FizzyGreenWater · 08/07/2020 17:41

Do you want a Chris, is the real question?!

Christopher is great but I would push push nn Kit.

Noah I don't like.

Oscar is great.

Oscar or Kit, but you run the risk of Chris.

17caterpillars1mouse · 08/07/2020 17:45

Love Christopher but not Jace at all. Christopher James or Christopher Oscar?

Noah is so popular in my area so I would avoid. I like Oscar Alexander

Suzeyshoes · 08/07/2020 17:46

Love Oscar and Noah. Christopher sounds old.
