We need Unbiased Reaction to Boy Names

My husband and I continue to struggle between 3 to 6 boy-names. (We are expecting in November.) Any comments/reactions on the below? (Middle names are family-esk.) We are trying to keep the name a secret from friends & family so we need unbiased reactions--no holds bar.

1) Jason Ray (worries--is it too plain? We don't want the nickname of JR).

2) Jeremy Patrick (worries--is it too plain? We don't want the nickname of JR).

3) Quinton James (we love the nickname Quin but worry that the name is too prissy).

Love the name Quintin, I have a friend by the name and he's not at all prissy.

My first choice would be Jason Ray. Jason seems very masculine and confident. Jason Ray just flows nicely.

Second choice is Quintin James - Again, flows nicely. Quinn to me is more of a girl name but Quintin does not seem prissy at all.

Jeremy is just one of those names that doesn't do anything for me at all. And it doesn't sound masculine.

Good luck!

I absolutely LOVE the name Quinton James! I don't know about the nickname, but I love the full name Quinton...
