Final choice! Felix, Dylan, Jude, Brody, Jago

[Lolo20]

Expecting our second son next week! We've really struggled to choose a name for him but have got it down to a top 5.

Wanted something not too popular but not too out-there! He will be little brother to Jensen.

Which name should we go for? And what are your thoughts on them all?

All fine apart from Brody as it sounds down market.

Brodie would be much nicer than Brody. Very Scottish! Felix and Dylan are both very nice too

Jago is brilliant!

I actually quite like Jensen and Jago

Jude or Dylan.
Felix is a cat’s name

I like Jude and Dylan. Felix is ok. Not keen on Brody or Jago.

I like Dylan best out of those

I like Felix .

My younger son is called Felix, so I might be a bit biased!

I like them all but prefer Jude over the others. I least like Felix.

Jude - my son is called Jude so I’m biased.

Thanks everyone who's responded so far - so interesting to see the different opinions!

Jensen and Brody (Brodie perhaps a nicer spelling)

Jude by a mile.

Felix

Dylan would be my choice. I'm not keen on the other options.

I really like Dylan and Jude.

Felix is great for a cat.
Brody sounds too American.
Jago sounds made up.

Dylan

Dylan or Jude - I have a Dylan and a nephew called Jude so a bit biased! I currently pregnant and Jensen is on my list

Dylan is a lovely Welsh name

Jude or Brodie (I think the ie spelling looks
nicer).

Brody (or Brodie) works well with Jensen imo, since both have that popular/contemporary "surname" feel. I'm not keen on using the same initials for brothers, so apart from Brody it's between Dylan and Felix for me (Dylan just edges it of the two, just sounds better with Jensen).

I love Jago - I know a little boy called Jago too and he is awesome!

Brody looks to my eye like a misspelling of Brodie. I know that isn’t the case of course, but it just hits my eye all wrong. And it has kind of an “airhead surfer guy” feel to it, IMO.

So, anything but Brody gets my vote

One of my relatives was really into the idea that we should consider Jago as a name. I’d never heard it before (I’ve still never met one) and she assured me it was very, very posh, a sort of aristocrat’s name. No idea whether that’s accurate but I guess for some people it carries those connotations 🤷‍♀️

Felix is lovely.

I wouldn't go for another J, sounds too matchy.

I like all of them, which is a first on MN! I also have unusual but not out there names for mine. It's nice to be not in a class with several having the same names.

Nothing wrong with having two children with same initials, I have and it's absolutely fine. Only ever issue is sometimes post arriving and you don't know who it's for.

Felix was fairly popular a while back don't know if it still is.
Dylan and Jensen go nicely together.
Jude and Jensen also do, although might be confused with a female.
Brody I do like, yes it's American sounding but so what.
Jago and Jensen also go well.
