Baby number 3 due in a week and totally can't agree on boys names.
What do you think about Jasper or Jarvis?
Other half not too keen on either but they are my current favourites.
Other contenders:
Lucas
Joel
Nathan
Many thanks!
By the way, first two are girls so doesn't really need to 'go' with another name.

i like all your names with joel being a fave!

have you thought about jonas? my list was similar to yours and i loved jonas also, but dh vetoed it...

tummytickler · 28/03/2009 20:44

I love Jasper, then Joel, then Nathan.
Really dislike Lucas, i am afraid.

Jarvis . . . is fine, but i just think of Jarvis Cocker, which is fine also, but i would assume you are a fan. There is also an area near me called Jarvis Brook, so i think of that also.

My vote is for Jasper!

i like jasper but does remind me of a ghost. others i like nathan. nice but not that popular

Mung · 28/03/2009 20:45

I like Jasper a lot. I also really like Joel. I suppose the latter is a little more 'safe'.

janeite · 28/03/2009 20:46

Lucas

Thanks for your opinions. Sorry ja9, really don't like Jonas.
Lilyloo, i know what you mean about Jasper Carrot and Jarvis Cocker. I think that's my husbands argument against them.
Forgot to mention the name Toby as well.

no offence

i like toby too!

still prefer Joel. But I have one so am clearly biased!

Lilyloo · 28/03/2009 20:58

IMO Toby the nicest!

Thunderduck · 28/03/2009 21:12

I love Jasper but not Jarvis.

I like Nathan but prefer Nathaniel, not that you mentioned it. And I like Joel.

webby12345 · 28/03/2009 21:19

janeite · 28/03/2009 21:22

tulip27 · 28/03/2009 21:40

Jasper

twentysixseven · 28/03/2009 21:57

Lucas!

dinkymum · 29/03/2009 13:31

Jarvis or Joel

mloo · 29/03/2009 13:56

I don't like Jarvis, Lucas or Nathan. Joel, Toby and Jasper are good.

Bumbleybee · 29/03/2009 13:59

Toby gets my vote.

Servalan · 29/03/2009 14:54

I like the names Nathan and Toby

Personally not at all keen on the names Jasper or Lucas.

Jarvis - only thing I like is the positive association with Jarvis Cocker, but otherwise no

Joel - OK I suppose

jellybeans · 29/03/2009 15:25

I like Lucas, Joel and Nathan. Not keen on Jasper or Jarvis.

Niecie · 29/03/2009 15:29

Not keen on Jasper or Jarvis but love Joel and quite like Lucas and Nathan.

Toby is OK but I think it works better as a child's name than a grown-up
