Jack, Joshua, Jacob

[toadstool32]

Please could you rank them! Surname is 3 syllables.

They’re pretty similar in terms of popularity and style, so hard to have a preference.

I probably prefer Jacob as I like Jake more than Jack or Josh.

I like Joshua best, then Jacob and Jack but I think that Jacob might work better with a three syllable surmame.

Jacob

But why not wait to see which one suits baby best

1. Jack - my favourite of the 3, while it's very popular (so I personally prefer underused John, nn Jack) it's simple, classic, generally nickname free and also works well with a longer surname.

1. Jacob - nice enough (don't love, don't hate).

3.Joshua - nothing wrong with it, just not especially my taste - (possibly feels a touch 90's/early 2000's when it seemed more popular.)

1. Joshua (but I have one so I'm biased)

Not sure between the other 2. I think I marginally prefer Jack. No Jake. No idea

Josh but I'm biased love the long version and short version I also have a Joseph who gets Joe.

Jack and Jacob are tied.

Joshua I'm less fond of. I used to live next door to one and got tired of hearing his parents calling 'Joshuuuaaaaaaaa'

I have a Jack so I'm biased so my order is Jack, Jacob, Joshua.

Yes, same here.

1. Jacob (although it was very popular in the early 2010s so there are a lot of Jacobs aged around 12)
2. Joshua (ditto but for the turn of the century, lots of twentysomethings)

1. Then Jack (as above but for the period 1997-2017. We are all going to spend the rest of our lives meeting a lot of men called Jack).

Jack, Jacob then Joshua. I actually prefer the name Joshua but it has negative connotations for me.

Joshua is lovely but I'm afraid the inevitable Josh isn't.

Jacob and Jack are both fine, maybe I slightly prefer Jacob.

I like them all and one of them is DS name. They are all popular.

I like Jacob best, then Jack and Joshua the least (mainly because I went to school with many a Josh and didn't really like any of them).

Jacob then Joshua. Jack is fine but there are a lot of them about.

I find all three very similar and very popular. If I had to choose, probably Jacob, but I dislike Jake

Joshua, then Jacob, then Jack.

I like Jack best. ❤️

I prefer John to Jack.
The names are all ok but I would bear in mind that Jacob will be Jake Surname and Joshua will be Josh Surname.

I'd probably put them in the order of 1. Jack, 2, Jacob and 3 Joshua.
I'm not keen on Josh/Joshua. Jack is favourite because it can't be shortened.

You have the option of abbreviating Jacob and Joshua. Jack is really a nickname for John.

Jack is #1 out of your 3 how about Jonas?...

Interchangable boys names in the classroom. Could you not find something else do that you don't get upset when his teacher mistakes him for one of 6 other J named boys.

All three are very common and he'll likely have to add his surname. Is his surname quite unusual?

Jack is the best by miles

None of them would scare the horses, but they're a bit interchangeable. I couldn't rank them for that reason.

I chose names for my DC which wouldn't mean they had to spell them out but which were uncommon enough for them not to be one of more than one in a school class. More importantly, I loved the names.
