Jacob Zachary is my favourite from your list

Leo or Oliver. I like Oliver better but it is very common.

Jacob feels tired, it was so popular 10-20 years ago. I dislike the sound. It also still makes me think of "Twilight" even though that was ages ago and I was a child back then and there are lots of other namesakes. Never cared for Zachary.

Oliver Jacob. Or Oliver Leo, if that is a possibility.

Thank you for your reply that has been my number 1 for a while. I like Jacob and my partner likes Zac so think it's a nice compromise and flows well Smile

Thanks for your reply... I have struggled with boys names so much I feel like I don't "love" any name at all.

I don't personally know a Jacob so don't have the same opinion as you as it being a tired name... I like Oliver and Leo... but don't love them. Why is it so hard Confused

It's similar for me. I do like some boys names but I don't love them. Anyway, the names you listed are all decent names, they won't cause any problems and I do love Oliver I just don't like how common it is.

Maybe you like Finn or Finlay? They are my current favourites and I also like Cormac, Otto, Edward, Edmund, Henry, Dylan.

They are all nice
I’d go for Zachary as least used now
Or Jacob

The other two are way overused
