im looking for a boys name that gos ok with sir name jones. some people think anythink gos with the name jones but i dont think it does i feel it need to be a little different but not overly different. but a name that will set it of a bit because the name jones is so common.

i was thinking maybe issac/isaac... i keep spelling it wrong so maybe its not such a good idea :/

i dont want anything with the j sound so nothing starting with j. or g such as gorge

I know a young boy called Rufus Jones. I think it has a ring to it.

Also liking some of the suggestions
Elliott
Gabriel
Oliver (objectively this is nice just has bad associations for me!)

People have different ideas about 'a little bit' different
I think that names like Peter, Steven, George are too common with Jones because everyone will know someone called that (or a shoe shop)
Isaac is looking to be the latter day version of something like that
If you like biblical I met a little boy Ezra lately and I thought that was pretty cool

I think that one syllable names like Max are too short with Jones. Sounds curt and abrupt. Just my personal opinion but you did post it in AIBU Wink

I would (and have) considered
Dylan
Owain
Laurence (Laurie)
Sebastian
Alexander
Dominic

I think you should consider J names as well. I think it's really cool to have an alliterative name
Jonathan Jones
Jeremy Jones
Jacob Jones

A lot of the names suguested - Ethan, Noah, Freddie, Isaac - are very popular, not "a little bit different" at all. Especially Isaac and Noah.

If only there was a specific area of this site that deals with baby names, called something handy like 'baby name finder' it could really take off.

I'm just going to put this out there, what about something a bit zingy like Hercules? Nobody will forget Hercules.

I'm kidding, when DS1 was asked what he'd like DS2 to be called he drew up a small hugeessay list of the most ridiculous names. We had Hercules, Boris, Jeremy Piven, Kuzco, Hades (he watches too much Disney Channel, I concede) and Zelda. For the first 9 days of DS2's life he was referred to by all and sundry as Zelda and I was tempted to make DH cry when I registered him by using it as an official middle name (DH is very Tory-middle-class-proper). I chose to behave myself and now that DS2 is 4, he refers to himself as Zelda so the circle of life is complete.
