Polls confused me the first time I tried to make one too...you have to fill in every section with information. Under the compose tab (the one that automatically opens when you click write a new post) you have to fill in the subject and a message. Then under the poll tab, you have to check the include a poll box, fill in the question & description sections, and give answer choices. Basically just fill in info everywhere you can
I'm not sure whether I prefer Conrad or Reuben. I really dislike Jasper. It seems like a little boy name to me. Plus I know someone whose dog is named Jasper.
I actually love all of them! Reuben is probably my favorite, but I like the other two a lot as well. My only misgiving with Conrad (despite really liking it) is that I've heard it shortened to "Connie" as a NN before, and I don't like that for a boy.
Thanks. I know Reuben is also the name of a sandwich, but it's a really good sandwich! No need for critical comments, just give your favorite, please.
People on this board usually elaborate as to why they do/don't like particular names, because most posters find it more helpful. I don't think anyone had malicious intentions.

I like them all well enough for their own reasons.
Jasper is turning modern...a favorite amoung Name Berries I think. (currently in the 300s)
Conrad - a good C name...easy to say, spell and isn't all that popular (in the 700s on SSA Names).
Reuben - I was just thinking about this name over the weekend. I hardly hear this name anymore, and it's a good biblical name. Definitely refreshing from all the E and Z biblical names heating up the charts right now. I like this one. (in the 800s)
Reuben and Conrad are tied for first and Jasper is second.
ETA: Jasper and Twilight...ugh, okay that probably explains its popularity. Conrad has a great nick name - Rad.

Bless your heart, and thanks for all the great info! You could write a book!
I like them all! I've always loved Jasper, but the whole Twilight thing would probably keep me from using it, though. But they are all really great names!

Definitely Jasper. Conrad sounds really pretentious, and Reuben just makes me think of a sandwich.
This.
IMO Reuben doesn't go with the other two choices at all. They seem completely different. In all honestly, I just really don't like the name Reuben/Ruben.

Reuben is the only one I like. Great name.
I actually like them all!
My fave is Jasper.
Definitely Conrad! I actually kind of like that name.
The other two are horrible, IMO.

Jasper is going to become really popular I have a feeling b/c of Twilight.
I like Conrad, and Reuben doesn't move me either way

Aw, you're welcome! Have you seen the website, Appellation Mountain? Abby, the author, has a name of the day. Here's the one she did on Jasper.

I looked for Reuben and Conrad, but no dice. Also, Behind the Name is another of my favorite resources.

I love Jasper, and it is on my list. My husband needs some convincing though.

I love Conrad!!! Of course I'm a little bias because it's my son's middle name
1. Conrad
2. Reuben
-- Jasper- nms
I really like Jasper, probably because of a good association. Conrad is a close second.
I don't think either of these names are "funky" because I know men with both these names.
Reuben is nms
This.
