We are struggling to choose between these three names for our baby boy! Any preferences and if so, why?

Samuel for me. I'm a sucker for a biblical name.

IamnotwhouthinkIam · 05/11/2020 22:48

Samuel, no contest for me. The others are pleasant classics too, but Sam just sounds so nice and friendly. Jack and Freddie are also a lot more popular currently, where as Samuel is decreasing year on year.

Jack or Samuel.

Jack for me.

I like Sam, but Samuel not so much.

I'm not keen on Frederick at all, and I hate Freddie.

Samuel for me.

Kanaloa · 05/11/2020 23:48

All nice but Samuel is the nicest.

I have a Samuel and a jack so I may be too biased ! Samuel initials are SAM - Samuel Aaron Matthew which he still thinks is rather cool now he's 30 !

HouseOfHearts · 05/11/2020 23:52

Samuel - great name

Lozz22 · 05/11/2020 23:54

Samuel

Don't hear many samuels nowadays - lovely

PersicariaBistortaSuperba · 06/11/2020 06:15

I've got a Sam and he's the sunniest little baby, definitely Samuel if you ask me! Didn't know it's declining in popularity.

ThroughThickAndThin01 · 06/11/2020 06:23

Jack or Samuel (as long as you like Sam)

Flymetothestars · 06/11/2020 09:24

@Soozikinzii that is cool!!

I love all the names. Favourite Jack or Samuel

MercyBodle · 06/11/2020 12:52

I like them all, in this order:

  1. Jack
  2. Frederick
  3. Samuel
Dashwood2000 · 07/11/2020 11:27

Thanks for all the responses - looks like Samuel is the preferred choice!

I love all the names but Frederick, Jack & Samuel in that order!

YoniAndGuy · 09/11/2020 10:38

I dislike all of them and I'd still go for Samuel.

unchienandalusia · 09/11/2020 12:39
