if you like these sort of names, which do you prefer...

[rachelgreen]

Todd, Troy or Jed?
If you don't like these sort of names, then please try not to be too insulting just wondering what you think when you hear these names. cheers

I love Todd love it

Jed is the only one I like, but I do really like it .
Really dislike Troy.

isn't jed short for jeremy? todd is short for toddler

When I hear these names I think High School Jock (I hope that's not insulting )

If I had to pick one it would be Jed.

Sorry really dislike troy Todd is ok

ah yes! i knew a woman called jed, was short for geraldine

Jed I think. Troy is a little American-sounding for my liking.

they're rather american, are they not?

Todd reminds me of the funny coloured character out of toddworld and is the better of the 3.

Actually you don't here todd very often do you?

hear I do apologise

Had to scan down to see if any of the MN West Wing fan club had turned out in favour of Jed (where it is short for Josiah, oddly enough).

These are not my favourite names. Troy definitely not. Todd, I quite like, and would be my favourite of the three. Jed is OK, but sounds like it's short for something, so personally I wouldn't give it as a name in its own right. But those are just my preferences. None of them is offensive (offensive would be something like Slartybartfast or Bakedbeanjuice ).

Jed... is there a character from a steinbeck novel or am I way off base? I like it. Is it short for something?

Troy .... American

Todd... very American

yes, i do think i'm tending towards american names - am not even pg yet! DS's name is one syllable(sp?) so we want something similar to go with it, thought I'd test the water with what people think before I'm all full of hormones and cry when people don't like my names. girls names are so much easier

ah, i don't watch the west wing, so would now steer clear of jed incase people think i'm an addict.
i do also like ross... - nothing to do with friends! - oh yes, but then it'll be the american thing again won't it? maybe i should go all out for Brad???

Todds do have to be blonde though, and very white healthy teeth and an even tan....

I like Troy. There was an actor in the 1960scalled Troy. I'm not keen on Todd and only like Jed if it's short for Josiah (as in The West Wing).

LOL at CrushWithEyeliner

Personally, I'm not a fan of any of them.

Todd - like someone has already mentioned, the name makes me think of a surfer type person (read: thick)

Troy - Ummm...errr...how to say this? Troy sounds like someone who would be prone to visiting the docks and meeting up with sailors.

Jed - The lesser of 3 evils although I keep reading it as Jeb (as in Beverly Hillbillies)

Just my opinion though...after incubating him for 9 months you can name him whatever you want!

Too American-I just don't like them.

btw, when I said American, I didn't mean that in a good or bad way. it was just a comment on what it makes me think of.

blane is an american name

along with bailey, corey, brent, trey, darnell etc

Jedd. It's great. Very manly.

Basketball players come to mind!
