Hi guys,
Really like the name Libby for a girl. I love Reeco for a boy. My hubby, myself and little boy who is 4 have middle names beginning with J. Any suggestions for middle names beginning with J to go with the above choices??? xx

Thankyou for your reply. My last name is Ingham and so i'm maybe after something with 1 syllable. I do like your choices though :-) x

Is Reeco a different way of spelling Rico?

Yes it is.. it's an alternative spelling. I like it because you read it as it sounds :-)

Just so long as you know it's not an alternative spelling- it's a wrong spelling......

I bought a new baby name book (2013)from Mothercare and it was listed as an alternative spelling under Rico...

So long as you're happy with him having to correct everyone who tries to writ his name down forever.....if you say Rico that's how people will spell it. Honestly. Nobody will hear Rico and write Reeco.

Hmmmm, not sure that a two syllable name goes as well as say Libby Jane or Libby Jennifer for example. I think one of the names needs to have either less than or more than two syllables.

But that's just being nitpicky, Libby Jenna is fine if that's the one you like.

No I agree with you 'squoosh'...I'm nitpicky too! Do you like Reeco? I have taught in the past and hard to pick a name that does not relate to someone..I like Italian/Spanish sounding names although 'Henry' was a previous choice

Libby is lovely but to be honest I'm not crazy about Reeco.

What about Luca, Marco, Enzo, Nico, Leo?

Henry is a great name, miles better than Reeco too!

Libby is sweet. Juliette maybe as a mn. Not keen on Reeco. Reminds me of 'reeks' which is not good, and the name looks like a brand of cleaning product. Rico is better and most people would know how to pronounce it. I much prefer though Henry, which is gorgeous, and love Hal as a nn.

Henry James
Henry John
Henry Joe
Henry Jacob
Henry Jasper

It goes with most J middle names.
