Joel?

[Cuppasoupmonster]

What do we think? Too 1990s?

Other names I would like views on please:
Jenson
Leo

Thanks!

Joel is ok but will get said as Jole, Jo-ul and Jo-elle.
Jenson will get called Jens, and I think it's too linked to an age-group.
Leo is nice but popular.

I know a gorgeous 2 year old Joel and I think it's a great name.

I like it too. I forgot to say that some people will think he's Joe.

Look at darkgreener and ONS for the stats, if popularity is an issue.

Try the name with the surname, without a middle name.
Leo Owens, Joel Cole and Jenson Benson might not be the best combinations.

I really like Joel and Leo. Not keen on Jenson.

Love it - but that’s probably because it’s the name of one of my favourite people 😊

Love it. There were a couple in my DS’ class, now early 20’s.

Joel is a nice name.

Leo is good but popular. Maybe Leon?

Not sure about Jensen.

I like Joel. I like Leo, but too many people have this name now

I like Joel, I know a 9 year old one. Can’t stand Jenson it’s like some bad 80s name. Like Leo a lot, it’s quite popular.

I like Joel. Leo is too popular atm and Jenson a bit chavvy.

I think theres going to be a rise in babies named joel in the next year due to the tv show the last of us starting in a week starring pedro pascal, just so you know.

Popularity doesn’t bother me at all, just needs to be the right name!

Joel is a great name! ☺️

Joel is lovely- but I’m biased as my ds is a Joel 😊 he’s in his late 20s though.

Joel is great, I don't understand why boring names such as Joshua can be more popular than Joel!

Jenson - or Jensen?
Leo - way too common.

Ooh! Does he like it?

Yes I’m not too keen on most names than end in a vowel for boys for some reason, bar Leo!

Joel is nice. I know a couple - one mid teens, one late 20's.
Leo is ok. Not keen on Jensen - but I don't really like surname type first names but lots of people do.

Yes he has always loved his name and he only knows one other.

I know a Joel but they say it Jo-el.

I like it though

I love Joel.

Really nice name.

I love Joel! I know Joels in their 60's, 50's snd 20's, American, French & British do for me it's not linked to a particular demographic at all. It's a great name and not very used in the U.K. currently.

Really stands out as the best in your shortlist!

What other way would there be then? As one syllable? Only ever heard of Jo-el

@timoteigirl , as I pp, people say it as Jole, Jo-ul and others say it as Jo-elle.
There was a thread recently and the general consensus IIRC was that most posters said it as Joe-ul

My husband is Joel and my eldest son 💙💙 We love it!
