I love the name Finn but probably because I pass by the river Finn in Donegal everyday.

Love them all to be honest but I could take or leave Leo.

Its getting to the stage now where it'll be deciding when we see the baby

I like them all. My only reservation would be that Hugo is a jokey stereotype of a super posh English boy (think Eton and straw boaters!)... so I’d be a bit worried he would be judged on his name if you know what I mean? But it is a lovely name.

We had a baby boy last January, and like you, really struggled with boy names (had a girl name picked). He was nameless when he was born, and then the name Liam just came from nowhere that night and that was it. I thought that, “you’ll know when you see them” was nonsense, but turned out to be true for us.

You don't want your baby named after the current Taoiseach!!

I love Finn, Jacob is ok, and I don't like the other two.

January Jacob? Cream Crackers? I wouldn't.
Shortened to Jake, it's ok.
Names ending in O are classy, in my opinion. (One of my sons has an --o name) - Hugo, Milo, Bruno, Leo....
Enjoy the game, it is a a rare privilege to name another person.
And best of luck with your new baby!

Don’t call the poor child Leo! The last thing we want is another varadkar knocking about. Jacob sounds the best.

Seem Varadkar has ruined a nice name for People, he'll be out of sight and out of mind in a year or two ,

I like Finn. We have Fionn on our list but are really struggling for boys names as well. We’re going to do the wait and see what he/she looks like before deciding anyway.

Hugo was ours last time but we’d a girl

Martina1991

When i hear Hugo I think of Bart's evil twin in the Simpsons.

Teyla Emmagan

I don't like Leo. Nothing to do with Mr Varadkar.

Finn is the best of those IMO.

shesty

Hugh instead of Hugo, if unsure?!

pwurple

Leo is the only one I’d pick, the others are a bit too dublin for me... but then again, you are in Dublin, so why not pick name that is Fashionable there.


But really, there is nothing wrong with any of them. It’s very personal. Toss them into a hat if you cannot decide.

Due in Jan.
Leo has always been my boy's name.
Teaching has spoiled a lot of good names for me and even though i have the boldest little yoke in my class called Leo i still love it! Works very well with our surname IMO

Wesser

All 4 are awful.

I hate Finn actually. Leo is not bad. Hugo is a bit pretentious for my liking. Jacob is too biblical.

I love biblical names despite being a heathen :pac:
I love Jacob as an official name and Jake for everyday use. I love Isaac too and Elijah, Zach and Eli for short.
I'd pick Jacob. Not a fan of the others. Don't like Finn at all.

I realise you didn't ask for alternatives to your 4 suggestions but just putting them out there!

Whatever you choose make sure he won’t spend his life telling people how to spell or pronounce it. Also if he is to be know by a short version use that as his official name. I’m sick of signing my full name on documents as it has never been used as my name.

Yes you will. We had a shortlist of names but when I saw my daughter they seemed far too "girly" for the 9 pound, two foot long giant that I delivered Whatever you plan, you'll possibly change your mind completely when you see the baby.

Blndbby

Jacob is nice. We considered Hugo ...but then I realised it sounds like U Go.... !!!!

borderlinemeath

Finn would be my least favourite
I like Hugo
I love Leo (was on my list, as was Theo)
I met a baby Jacob last week, think it's lovely
