mrspaddy · 28/04/2013 22:01

jellybeans · 28/04/2013 21:53

James Alexander then James Joseph.

cheekbyjowl · 28/04/2013 19:26

James alexander. Or james joseph/joseph james if you like jj as a nickname_which I think is quite sweet

GwendolineMaryLacey · 28/04/2013 19:07

James Paul.

notwellboy · 25/04/2013 08:11

James Alexander is lovely

KittenofDoom · 24/04/2013 20:52

With the vital surname information then :)

James Paul and James Robert have a clear lead for me.

James Dennis is ruled out because of the clashing S's

The others end up with rather too many sibilants, and James Alexander is also a bit of a mouthful with a 3 syllable surname.

LynetteScavo · 24/04/2013 20:28

James Joseph.

By far.

themilkmonster · 24/04/2013 20:27

James Alexander

exoticfruits · 24/04/2013 19:32

James Alexander seems to be the favourite then-you don't generally get such agreement!

We have a three syllable surname that begins with s!

James Alexander
(but does it spell anything with surname?)

In order after that:
Robert, Stephen, Joseph, Paul but definitely not Dennis.

MotherOfNations · 24/04/2013 17:35

James Alexander here too.

OrangeFootedScrubfowl · 24/04/2013 17:33

I would want to avoid the nicknames JJ, JD, JR, ad JP.
So that leaves me with James Stephen and James Alexander. Because I've never heard of anyone known as JS or JA! Out of them, I think James Alexander flows more nicely.

picnicbasketcase · 24/04/2013 16:55

Exactly as above ^

fussychica · 24/04/2013 16:54

Alexander by a mile, then Robert, Joseph, Stephen, Paul not Dennis.

TicketyToc · 24/04/2013 14:10

James Alexander
James Paul
James Robert
James Joseph
James Dennis
James Stephen

TheCatInTheHairnet · 24/04/2013 13:10

I like the name, Dennis. The only Dennis I know is 30, very very cool and funny and his name really suits him.

OneFingerSjupesUpTheYoni · 24/04/2013 13:08

James paul is really lovely.

TenthMuse · 24/04/2013 13:05

James Alexander definitely top. Then Robert, Joseph, Stephen, Paul (doesn't flow imo) and Dennis.

rundontwalk · 24/04/2013 10:57

James Alexander definitely. Then Joseph, Robert, Stephen, Paul and lastly Dennis.
