Beau, Blake, Oakley, Rowan, Navy, Jasper

{if anyone knows any middle names that'll go, that'll be brilliant!}

Blake and Jasper

Covidiokilledtheradiostar · 03/09/2023 22:46

Jasper

IDontLoveTheWayYouLie · 03/09/2023 22:49

Rowan is the best on the list. I think Oakley is the worst. Jasper is okay but makes me think of Jasper Carrot and golden balls.

Beau or Rowan

Jasper is OK

Oakley a bit weird

Navy really fucking weird

Rowan Jasper
Jasper Rowan
Beau Alexander (or something similarly longish and classic)

Blake just makes me think of dynasty - showing my age obviously, but hard to pull off

DiscoBeat · 04/09/2023 01:13

None of them! Sorry, I'm not trying to be awkward but they all sound like difficult names to grow up with.

AdaColeman · 04/09/2023 01:23

Jasper is the only one I like.

Navy and Oakley (which sounds more like a brand/company name) are my least favourites.

LookatEsa · 04/09/2023 01:23

I like Rowan. I’m not as keen on the others but I’m quite conservative about names

Loopzy · 04/09/2023 01:25

Rowan and Jasper

Robotalkingrubbish · 04/09/2023 01:25

Rowan

Somanycats · 04/09/2023 01:27

Rowan is nice, but I always think of Rohan for a boy and Rowan for a girl. Jasper is okay. The rest are not okay.

What do you like in a name, OP?
I like boring names. For me, appeal from least to most

Navy, Rowan, Oakley, Beau, Jasper, Blake

Mumofgirls2017 · 04/09/2023 08:43

Jasper or rowan

jasper finn
jasper leo
jasper otis

rowan james
rowan henry
rowan daniel

OK - Blake, Rowan
Not keen - Oakley, Jasper
Dreadful - Beau, Navy

dutysuite · 04/09/2023 10:19

None are to my taste but at a push I prefer Jasper

Marsyas · 04/09/2023 10:23

I like Blake, Oakley and Jasper in that order.
I prefer Rowan for girls.
Not a fan of Beau or Navy.

With Blake and Oakley I would probably go for a more mainstream middle name. Maybe a family member?
Blake Christopher/ Oakley Christopher
Blake Michael/ Oakley Michael
Blake Edward/ Oakley Edward

Jasper James (JJ quite cool!)
Jasper Michael
Jasper Cameron

Liv999 · 04/09/2023 12:27

I love Rowan, the rest are not great, Jasper is awful

OzDownUnder · 04/09/2023 12:30

Rowan James

Rowan Jay

Rowan Beau

Rowan Isaac

PerspiringElizabeth · 04/09/2023 12:43

Navy as in Army??

I know kids with all of the other names and think they’re just boys names, just fine really. But Navy would make me pay attention (in a ‘hmm unusual!’ way). I’ve heard FAR worse though.
