I like Jasper least.

milkytwilightt · 06/10/2021 11:34

I like Drew

BlueChampagne · 06/10/2021 11:35

Experience suggests that Aidan will regularly be mis-spelt Aiden, if that bothers you.

Funny you should say that @BlueChampagne the spelling is up for debate atm

I like Aidan and Drew, other two are a bit 'twee' for me

alpinerain · 06/10/2021 20:08

I really like Jasper! Drew is also nice but I'm not a fan of Aidan or Robin.

I like all these! In order - Jasper, Aidan, Robin, Drew.

DramaAlpaca · 06/10/2021 21:29

I like Aidan (that spelling) and Jasper.

Drew is fine as a diminutive for Andrew.

I don't like Robin.

lgfh07 · 06/10/2021 21:32

I like Jasper best.

Anycolourwilldo · 06/10/2021 22:01

They're lovely names. I think Jasper is my favourite

89redballoons · 07/10/2021 17:17

I like them all.

My least favourite is Drew but it's nice as a nickname for Andrew, and you don't hear of many baby Andrews.

BeKindBeYou · 10/10/2021 07:18

I love Jasper!

daisypond · 10/10/2021 07:30

Aidan, then Jasper. I would like Drew if it was short for Andrew and might even put it first, but not as a stand-alone name. I don’t like Robin.

TenThousandSpoons · 10/10/2021 07:33

I like Robin and Aidan best.
Jasper is too posh.
Drew is drippy.

bloominglovelyorange · 10/10/2021 12:54

love all your names except Robin as there's so many top 100 trendy Ro+++ names about, I think they get a bit same-y and muddled. would have liked Robin a few years ago but not now
love Jasper the most

IamnotwhouthinkIam · 10/10/2021 15:53

Aidan's gorgeous if you have any Irish links - but if you live elsewhere, I think it unfortunately might have gone a bit downmarket (thanks to it's similar sound to the US fad for "en" ending names like Jayden etc). Definitely use the traditional Aidan spelling though!

Jasper is a really interesting one - sort of slightly hippy/bohemian, yet retro/vintage cool too so I can see it getting more popular. I can't decide if I like it or not!

I like Robin but personally prefer it as a classic nn for Robert on the BC (gives him more options too).

Equally Drew is cool sounding but it's definitely a nn for me (even more so than Robin).

Samzzz · 13/10/2021 22:27

Absolutely love Robin! A classic, underused, gorgeous name. Jasper is quite popular (not sure if that bothers you) but It's also a nice name :).

Kanaloa · 13/10/2021 22:29

I like Jasper and Aidan, really dislike Robin and Drew.

Derbee · 18/10/2021 01:45

I love Jasper. I think Robin is a really wet, weedy sounding name. Sorry
