[Opinions] Re: Jason (edited)
in reply to a message by Agata
A number of posters are dating Jasons, including myself. He absolutely loves his name. He says that it's well-known but not too popular like Michael, you can't mispronounce it, it's got a great history, it's not too long or short. Of course like any name there are multiple ways to screw around with it: Jayson, Jasen, Jaysen, Jaysin. Let's not go there, though...
I've only known two Jasons in my life and they're both the same age as me (20). Edit: So I guess I get that it's a bit dated now, but since I've only even known the two, the thought never crossed my mind. Oops.So I guess it's all a matter of personal preference. There's nothing really wrong with it at all, and all his points are true: it's popular without being oh-god-if-I-hear-that-name-ONE-MORE-TIME popular, it's easy to say and hasn't got anything frivolous about it, it's got a cool story behind it AND it's biblical so nice and "wholesome". But still, I can't really bring myself to love it, or even like it much. And it's my boyfriend's name.

I felt the same way dating a Benjamin/Ben.

My *husband*has an unlikely Arabic name that I can't really love, though I do love him, of course!
and in spite of that, it's our older son's middle name.
