I voted for [name]Oscar[/name]. It’s a personal favorite for me, though my husband would never let me use it! I think it sounds wonderful with [name]Gregory[/name]. No, I don’t think anyone will associate his initials with OJ [name]Simpson[/name].
Wow, I really don’t think you can go wrong with any of those. They’re all great names!
[name]Sebastian[/name] J__son is a bit hissy on top of rhyming just a tad, but that’s the only negative I see.
Of the other 3, you’re right that [name]Theodore[/name] is more popular, but it is very nice indeed. I don’t think it could ever be considered trendy since it’s such a classic though.
I voted for [name]Reuben[/name] because I feel like it’s handsome and seems the most obvious with [name]Dominic[/name].
[name]Oscar[/name] would be my second choice. It just has a slightly different feel than [name]Dominic[/name] imo. More old-man chic, which I don’t feel with [name]Reuben[/name].
@wahpro - I’m glad you don’t think OJ [name]Simpson[/name] will be a problem, that makes me feel better about using it. I just wasn’t sure if it was one of those things that everyone would hear of at some point.
@kala_way - Good that [name]Theodore[/name] isn’t trendy, I know it wouldn’t be to the extent that other names are but I still don’t want people being able to guess his birthdate to within five or so years when he’s an adult.
I agree, they’re all fab! I really like [name]Dominic[/name] and [name]Oscar[/name] as brothers, but I have to say, in general, I prefer [name]Theodore[/name] and [name]Sebastian[/name] ([name]LOVE[/name] [name]Teddy[/name] and [name]Seb[/name]!). I don’t find [name]Sebastian[/name] pretentious–then again, I mostly think of [name]Sebastian[/name], [name]Viola[/name]'s twin from Twelfth [name]Night[/name]! I think [name]Sebastian[/name] gets my vote, but they’re all lovely.
Of the choices, I like [name]Sebastian[/name], nn “[name]Bastian[/name]”. It reminds me of The Neverending [name]Story[/name], which I love!
You’ve got four great names so it’s a tough choice. I’m going to rate the names on how they flow with your surname J___son (as opposed to which name I love the most).
1 [name]Theodore[/name]
2 [name]Oscar[/name]
3 [name]Sebastian[/name]
4 [name]Reuben[/name]
I like [name]Sebastian[/name] with [name]Dominic[/name]. They have the same feel to me.
[name]Theodore[/name]! A guilty pleasure love of mine, DH flat out refuses it so I usually vote for it when I see it
