The results are in...

So "Nathan" seems to be the majority favourite, currently with 39.7% of the vote. Which fits in with its being #20 on the Most Popular Names list this year, I guess -- everything old is new again. "Paul" comes in with 33.8%, and "Joel" is running last at 26.5%.

However, I note with fascination that of the six males to vote on this poll, every single one voted for "Paul". Is it a Guy Thing?

Anyway, we still haven't made a firm decision yet, but it was fun doing the poll, and thanks to everyone who participated.
