[fishym2b]

Me and DP have this as our shortlist. which is best, last name is trad scottish but not a mac' name. middle name would be John. Thanks

Jacob/ Jake
Adam
Matthew
Theo/dore
Joel
Zachary
Dexter

[Elsa123]

I wouldn't go with Jacob or Jake with John- Jake John sounds a bit waltons.

I actually like Adam and Matthew best and think they go well with John, but overall I think Adam John sounds great.

[4sophia]

In order:
Joel John (fab name!)
Jacob John
Zachary John
Theo John
Matthew John
Adam John
Dexter John

[Fandango]

Matthew John is too biblical.
I like Dexter John. Nearly called our DS Dexter.

[janeite]

Theodore John is the best imho.

Jacob/Jake/Joel John = not good at all methinks and I dislike Zachary, sorry.

Adam and Matthew both nice names and sound fine with John.

[jellybeans]

Jacob/ Jake LOVE BOTH
Adam LIKE IT
Matthew LOVE IT
Theo/dore LIKE JUST THEO
Joel LOVE IT
Zachary LOVE IT AND ZAC NICE TOO
Dexter DISLIKE

[Heated]

Adam or Matthew imo, although rather taken with John!

[liliputlady]

All good, but I really like Joel and Adam.

[EightiesChick]

Like Adam and Matthew.

[KAEKAE]

I think I would go for Theo/dore or Zachary...I think the others are so popular and a little dull! But then don't take advice from someone who has an Oliver! A very popular name I am told!

[humpdebump]

I don't like the J names (just because I think it sounds better to have a middle name that's not same initial as first name).

Purely from the way it sounds I like ring of 'Dexter John" 3 syllables (but then I suppose he won't be using his middle name very often)

I'm a big fan of unusual names so I prefer the less common: Theodore, Dexter & Zachary (I think Zach as a shortened version is a very cool name for a little boy!)

[Doozie]

Matthew

[momofnearly2]

Jacob is my favourite but then I am biased.

I really like Adam John. My bro is Adam James and does get AJ from his friends so that's something to think about.

Wouldn't bother me though.

[kslatts]

Theo is my favourite

[RachieB]

Love Theo the best

[seeker]

Adam John
Theo John

I have a Patrick John and I think that sounds lovely.

Don't do Dexter - why would you name a child after a fictional serial killer?

[serinBrightside]

Totally agree with seeker
Adam or Theo

I too have a Patrick and think Patrick John sounds lovely!!

Don't do Dexter - why would you name your child after a cow?

[birdofthenorth]

My faves in order:

Jacob
Zachery
Joel
Dexter

But I love your whole list! Matthew is the only one I think doesn't go with John -might get people asking when Luke Mark is coming along!!

[mathanxiety]

Jacob/ Jake -- not with John
Adam -- ok
Matthew -- ok
Theo/dore -- love
Joel -- no
Zachary -- like a lot
Dexter -- like a lot

So, Theodore, Zachary, Dexter, Adam and Matthew, in that order. No J names, and Joel out for other reasons too.

[Jamieandhismagictorch]

Matthew is best

I like Adam as well

[heQet]

I think matthew goes best with John

[Rhuidean]

Matthew and Dexter both sound good to me, also have you considered Daniel?

[pointydog]

Adam
