boys names which is best?

[fishym2b]

Me and DP have this as our shortlist. which is best, last name is trad scottish but not a mac' name. middle name would be John. Thanks

Jacob/ Jake
Adam
Matthew
Theo/dore
Joel
Zachary
Dexter

I wouldn't go with Jacob or Jake with John- Jake John sounds a bit waltons.

I actually like Adam and Matthew best and think they go well with John, but overall I think Adam John sounds great.

In order:
Joel John (fab name!)
Jacob John
Zachary John
Theo John
Matthew John
Adam John
Dexter John

Matthew John is too biblical.
I like Dexter John. Nearly called our DS Dexter.

Theodore John is the best imho.

Jacob/Jake/Joel John = not good at all methinks and I dislike Zachary, sorry.

Adam and Matthew both nice names and sound fine with John.

Jacob/ Jake LOVE BOTH
Adam LIKE IT
Matthew LOVE IT
Theo/dore LIKE JUST THEO
Joel LOVE IT
Zachary LOVE IT AND ZAC NICE TOO
Dexter DISLIKE

Adam or Matthew imo, although rather taken with John!

All good, but I really like Joel and Adam.

Like Adam and Matthew.

I think I would go for Theo/dore or Zachary...I think the others are so popular and a little dull! But then don't take advice from someone who has an Oliver! A very popular name I am told!

I don't like the J names (just because I think it sounds better to have a middle name that's not same initial as first name).

Purely from the way it sounds I like ring of 'Dexter John" 3 syllables (but then I suppose he won't be using his middle name very often)

I'm a big fan of unusual names so I prefer the less common: Theodore, Dexter & Zachary (I think Zach as a shortened version is a very cool name for a little boy!)

Matthew

Jacob is my favourite but then I am biased.

I really like Adam John. My bro is Adam James and does get AJ from his friends so that's something to think about.

Wouldn't bother me though.

Theo is my favourite

Love Theo the best

Adam John
Theo John

I have a Patrick John and I think that sounds lovely.

Don't do Dexter - why would you name a child after a fictional serial killer?

Totally agree with seeker
Adam or Theo

I too have a Patrick and think Patrick John sounds lovely!!

Don't do Dexter - why would you name your child after a cow?

My faves in order:

Jacob
Zachery
Joel
Dexter

But I love your whole list! Matthew is the only one I think doesn't go with John -might get people asking when Luke Mark is coming along!!

Jacob/ Jake -- not with John
Adam -- ok
Matthew -- ok
Theo/dore -- love
Joel -- no
Zachary -- like a lot
Dexter -- like a lot

So, Theodore, Zachary, Dexter, Adam and Matthew, in that order. No J names, and Joel out for other reasons too.

Matthew is best

I like Adam as well

I think matthew goes best with John

Matthew and Dexter both sound good to me, also have you considered Daniel?

Adam
