I really don't like Landon - reminds me of the Billy Dee Williams character in Star Wars films.

But Jacob is lovely.

Oh - Langdon, not Landon. Damn it! I thought i had spotted a reason for the weird popularity of the name in shubiedoos neices class!
Still, Jacob is better!

Of course, Jasper Fforde!

I was thinking the OP was a Da Vinci Code fan but that's Langdon, isn't it?

Not keen on Landon, but love Jacob/Jake (DS's name ) Only know one other Jacob so not that popular here, but wouldn't care if it was (was my grandad's name)

Not that keen on either, really.

Jacob quite popular and don't like Jake...

Landon is just not my style...

Jacob - very popular indeed, but lovely.
Is Landon not the main character fron the Da Vinci code books? may make it a bit 'of the moment' now the other book has been made into a film. either way i am noy a fan of Landon!

Landon reminds me of a Stephen King character, and Jacob is becoming very popular indeed.

Landon reminds me of Thursday Next's husband in the Jasper Fforde novels - Landon Parke-Laine

No opinion really, but just had to share that my 6-year-old niece has THREE Landons in her class at school! Too funny!
Not to mention Caden, Jaden, Hayden and Braiden. You couldn't make it up!

ooh, that's a good way to do it - I have just finished a bar of G&B milk and almond again - it's getting beyond a joke!

Landon! I like it. But if you knew my 3 DC's names, you'd know I have no freedom of speech.

But seriously, Landon's great.
