Baby boy now 2 weeks old and still has no name.
Finally got it down to a shortlist of three.
What do you think? All opinions welcome!

Austin
Jasper
Leo

(Is Leo getting quite popular?)

Austin

LittleMissBliss · 27/04/2009 12:38

I like Jasper. Congratulations on your son!

Picante · 27/04/2009 12:39

Austin.

MadBadandDangerousToKnow · 27/04/2009 12:43

For me, it would be Leo.

I know Leo is fairly popular now (although there aren't that many around here) but Jasper sounds just a bit too much like a pantomime villain for my liking (Oh Sir Jasper do not touch me). And even though I loved watching Austin Healey on Strictly, Austin Powers would be the nail in the coffin for that name for me!

Leo is lovely

Austin

Austin

llareggub · 27/04/2009 12:49

I'm really not a fan of Austin. I guess I'd say Leo by default.

Egg · 27/04/2009 12:49

Think I would choose Austin.

Do like Leo as well though.

Not keen on Jasper.

seeker · 27/04/2009 12:53

Leo is the least worst - (sorry, you did ask!)

CatchaStar · 27/04/2009 12:54

Jasper

Undercarrigetrouble · 27/04/2009 12:54

Leo nicest imo

shootfromthehip · 27/04/2009 12:56

Leo here too.

belgo · 27/04/2009 12:57

Prefer Leon to Leo.

EverySingleStar · 27/04/2009 12:58

Austin is a very outdated 90's name in the USA so it has negative connotations for me. Jasper makes me think of Jasper & Horace, the villains in 101 Dalmatians (is this what you were thinking too, MadBad?)

So it's Leo for me.

LadyPinkofPinkerton · 27/04/2009 13:03

I know an Austin, very cute. Have always always loved Jasper though

troutpout · 27/04/2009 13:06

austin

Horton · 27/04/2009 13:10

Leo is great. I don't like Austin or Jasper at all.

RachieB · 27/04/2009 13:10

only like Leo

MadameCastafiore · 27/04/2009 13:11

Jasper.

I know one Jasper and he is the cutest little thing ever.

Autin is a make of Car and Leo is just too liony!

MrsMattie · 27/04/2009 13:12

leo. Love it. The other two are not to my taste at all.

Fimbo · 27/04/2009 13:15

Of the 3, I would say Jasper, although not overly keen on any of them.

shavenhaven · 27/04/2009 13:21

leo.

really hate the other two.
