Battle of the boy names!

Please help us decide!

[name_m]Jack[/name_m]
[name_u]Dexter[/name_u]
[name_m]Milo[/name_m]

These are the names we love. We have a hard time invisioning a grown man named [name_u]Dexter[/name_u] but otherwise we love all of them.

I love [name_u]Dexter[/name_u]. I might also suggest [name_u]Denver[/name_u] which can get the nickname [name_u]Denny[/name_u] :slight_smile:

I like [name_m]Jack[/name_m] and [name_m]Milo[/name_m].

I adore/love all three. My vote would go to [name_m]Jack[/name_m]. I go back and fourth whether I prefer [name_m]Milo[/name_m] or [name_m]Miles[/name_m], either would be my second choice.

I can definitely see a man named [name_u]Dexter[/name_u]. Names age because people age and people wear all different types of names. Most people do not consider the names I feel odd for an adult, but those would also be odd for a child…actually more odd on a child.

I love all of them haha
[name_m]Milo[/name_m] is sweet and adorable but I dont know if it would age as well as the other names or [name_m]Miles[/name_m]
[name_m]Jack[/name_m] is a little too harsh imo
And [name_u]Dexter[/name_u] is kind of a grandpa name unless youre gonna call him [name_m]Dex[/name_m] or something
I would probably go with [name_m]Milo[/name_m]

I love them all! Seconding lovemysweeties about [name_u]Dexter[/name_u]. I actually am rooting for [name_u]Dexter[/name_u] here if only because it’s so rare that I hear it used! [name_m]Dex[/name_m]/Dext is a cute nickname.

Like all 3 names but if I had to choose it would be [name_m]Jack[/name_m]

I’d go with [name_m]Milo[/name_m] for sure! [name_m]Jack[/name_m] is soo over used and [name_u]Dexter[/name_u] seems to me like one of those silly hipster names.

I think they’re all great names, and you really can’t go wrong whichever you choose.

However, my personal favorite is [name_m]Jack[/name_m], a name built to stand the test of time.

If you want a well known name then pick [name_m]Jack[/name_m]. If you want a tv series then go [name_u]Dexter[/name_u]. If you want a yummy flavoured milk then go [name_m]Milo[/name_m], which seems unusual as well as reminds me of the movie [name_m]Milo[/name_m] and Oats, about a cat and dog.

I adore [name_m]Milo[/name_m]. Would love to use it for a future son, but it doesn’t go with our last name. If you’re worried about the names ageing well, I would go with [name_m]Miles[/name_m] nn [name_m]Milo[/name_m] for that one. I also love [name_m]Jack[/name_m]. [name_m]Jack[/name_m] is so simple and classic. It works well for a young boy and a man. [name_m]Just[/name_m] not a fan of [name_u]Dexter[/name_u]. I can’t help but think of the old cartoon [name_u]Dexter[/name_u]'s Laboratory. lol

My favourite is [name_m]Jack[/name_m]!

[name_m]Jack[/name_m] is my fav!

I’d go with [name_m]Jack[/name_m]

My first pick would be [name_m]Jack[/name_m], but I also like [name_m]Milo[/name_m], so that would be my second choice!

Good luck.

Honestly [name_u]Dexter[/name_u] reminds me so much of the cartoon show [name_u]Dexter[/name_u]'s Laboratory that I have a hard time imagining it on a real person. Feels kinda stuffy/nerdy to me, but I do see the appeal.

I vote [name_m]Jack[/name_m] or [name_m]Milo[/name_m]. [name_m]Jack[/name_m] is short and strong, so it’s a good choice. But I have a soft spot for [name_m]Milo[/name_m], I think it’s a lovely, interesting name (and reminds me of the Phantom Tollbooth, which is an excellent association). Australians will associate [name_m]Milo[/name_m] with a popular milk drink, but as an American I don’t have that association.

So I’d say: Short and strong? Go with [name_m]Jack[/name_m]. Artistic and sweet? Go with [name_m]Milo[/name_m]. Nerdy and retro? Go with [name_u]Dexter[/name_u].
