Noah or Jasper from that last.

I think Barny is spelt Barney.

VinegarTits · 10/11/2008 12:42

i like Noah

belgo · 10/11/2008 12:42

I like Noah and Jacob. Jaspar is ok. Don't like Barny and Kaleb.

overbuurvrouw · 10/11/2008 12:42

I like Barney and Jasper best from the names you've listed.

SoupDragon · 10/11/2008 12:43

Noah - Like it althou that's how BabyDragon says "NO!" so it's kind of put me off

Jacob - Like it

Jasper - Not keen

Barny - Dear god no! Think of the satanic purple dinosaur!

Kaleb - No. unless it's spelt properly with a C.

MrsSanta · 10/11/2008 12:43

Barney
love it love it, its fab

MrsHappy · 10/11/2008 12:44

I like Noah and Jasper the best from your list.
I do not like Kaleb at all, but probably would if it began with a 'C'.

WhereTheWildThingsWere · 10/11/2008 12:44

Love 1 3 and 2 in that order. My nephew is a Noah, lovely gentle sounding name.

Don't like Barney purely because it makes me think of the purple dinosaur or a labrador puppy.

I wouldn't know how to pronounce Kaleb, and that puts me off.

suwoo · 10/11/2008 12:45

DS is Noah. I like Caleb better, and don't think I could go for Barney due to the popular purple dinosaur

Flumpybumpy · 10/11/2008 12:47

Noah

thumbwitch · 10/11/2008 12:47

i like jasper, was on my long-term names list but DH vetoed it..

Annthecat · 10/11/2008 12:48

I like Jacob and Jasper.

Noah is just too children's biblish for me to fully comes to terms with.

I do know a couple of lovely little Noah's though so obviously this problem is mine.

stirfry · 10/11/2008 12:56

Definately not barney then, i will have that purple dinosaur in my head too now

Noah is still my favorite

Love Noah - don't much like the others. There are tons and tons of Jacobs about if you mind about that. But if you do use one of the others, please don't be offended if I point out that it's Barney and Caleb.

Nancy66 · 10/11/2008 13:05

Really like Noah. the only one I really don't like is Kaleb.

BabyBaby123 · 10/11/2008 13:36

i only like Caleb - but spelt with a C

lilibet · 10/11/2008 15:11

Sorry - I don't like any of them

annasmami · 10/11/2008 15:16

I like Jasper most, then Jacob.

CharleeInChains · 10/11/2008 15:20

I like Jacob (although it will be shortened to Jake)

I also like Noah (but be prepared for Arc jokes)

MrsMattie · 10/11/2008 15:21

Love Jacob - don 't much like the rest.

Caleb is better than Kaleb.

Miyazaki · 10/11/2008 15:23

I like them all, altho I would go for Barney or Caleb in terms of spelling.

Tortington · 10/11/2008 15:24

Noah - like

Jacob - love

Jasper - is a cats name

Barny - is a dogs name

Kaleb - is a try hard chav name

MmeLindt · 10/11/2008 15:25

I like Noah, Jacob and Jasper.

Barny (Barney?) reminds me of the big purple dinosaur

Kaleb, if it was spelt Caleb. It looks quite harsh with a kicking-K

stirfry · 10/11/2008 16:20

seeker, not offended at all, my typing ablitity is nearly as crap as my ability to spell!

dinkymum · 10/11/2008 17:39
