Right so if you've narrowed it Jesse or Ethan I'd have to go with Ethan although I agree with the PO who said everyone they knew names Ethan was annoying, unfortunately, that's my experience as well.

There was a largish man in our village called Jesse when I was growing up, I'd regularly hear people making unkind comments, just never to his face though. I can imagine it was quite a rough ride when he was younger and in school.

Jesse ❤️

Thanks everyone. Results are in and maybe OTT but I have totted them up

most to least popular were

  • Ethan
  • Jesse
  • Douglas
  • Seth
  • Ace

A few people mentioned girliness of Jesse/insult but I think it's a strong name I've always liked so not made these associations.
Ethan maybe tooooo popular?! I am liking the name more but it's a bit nothingy to me which I don't think is good when it's your baby! Prob only one in the top 30
Douglas I really like
Seth I have been saying out loud and agree it's not quite right for me
Less said about Ace the better (maybe good for film stars kids 🤣🤣🤣)

Thanks for your help... I guess generally everyone has different preferences and the child will grow with their name anyway but interesting to hear anonymous thoughts

I’m not sure about film stars but Ace for me is this…

To me it sounds like the noise of the wind under the door.

Love Douglas.

I love the name Seth

Tavannach · 21/07/2021 04:03

Ethan. I like Jesse too, but I think Ethan goes better with your surname.

alexdgr8 · 21/07/2021 04:08

Douglas.

Figgyboa · 21/07/2021 07:14

Ethan

Tiddleztheelephant · 21/07/2021 07:27

Jesse or Douglas

Ethan is ok but a bit bland and over used.

Please don't call him Ace Grin

Seth (was on our boy list - we have 2 girls!)
