Jake

kaliope · 10/01/2009 20:09

I really like Oscar.

CrackopentheBaileys · 10/01/2009 20:21

How about Luca?

Leo9 · 10/01/2009 20:59

Oscar.

melpomene · 10/01/2009 21:04

jake

lastboxoftampons · 10/01/2009 21:12

Jake or Luke

Haribolicious · 10/01/2009 21:25

Jake or Luke too but I don't like Jacob!

ScottishMummy · 10/01/2009 21:29

just a word of warning Jake/Jakie glaswegian derogatory for wino/tramp/dishevelled.

"aye he is a right ole jake" not complimentary

Dottoressa · 10/01/2009 21:31

Oscar

lunamoon2 · 10/01/2009 22:51

Another vote for Luke.

Lovesdogsandcats · 10/01/2009 23:19

Luke, or Luke short for Lucas

fiestabelle · 11/01/2009 20:19

Jake would be my choice.

Clarissimo · 11/01/2009 20:21

I like Riley and Oscar but know Riley sadly isn't very mn friendly. I do like it a lot though.

Clarissimo · 11/01/2009 20:22

Oh and Jake very common here- boys have 4 friends called it, bloody confusing.

spottyshoes · 11/01/2009 20:26

Oscar

CrackopentheBaileys · 11/01/2009 20:27

I have a Jake and there is only one other in the whole school, no friends out of school with the same name, and there were none in his nursery either. I guess it may depend on area.... or I may have just been a bit flukey

McDreamy · 11/01/2009 20:28

Jake

Clarissimo · 11/01/2009 21:02

crackopen I think it's geographical- there's not a single Chloe in our school, or Bethany- yet loads of Lewis / Jake.

ScottishMummy · 11/01/2009 21:04

Clarissimo · 11/01/2009 21:07

Marthasmama · 11/01/2009 21:07

Oscar, definately the best. I really like the name, good for a small boy, good for an adult. All round winner!
