Expecting a DS In a few months, would love to know your favourite and least favourite from the list below. Middle name will be James (can’t be first name unfortunately). Thanks!

Joshua
Jesse
Jack
Riley

I like Jack best, but there are just so many these days, so maybe you should go with Joshua, which is a close second.

Quite like Jesse, but as pps said, there is no way you can have Jesse James!

Riley is quite different from your other choices and definitely the worst. I don't particularly like surname-type first names anyway, and Riley, sorry but it is what teachers call a 'naughty boy' name. Ryan, which has a similar sound, is better than Riley.

But overall definitely go for one of your 'J' names.

Favourite is Riley, least favourite is Jack (and I wouldn't use two one-syllable names together, it sounds a bit abrupt to me). I normally quite like Jesse but agree Jesse James isn't a great idea (although I think one of Jon Bon Jovi's sons is called that, but he's rich and famous enough to get away with it!)
