Jermajesty 😂😂 Brilliant.

I am not in to 'out there' names, especially for boys. I'm not cool enough and certainly prefer the classics.

As pp have asked, it is just boys names 🙂

Jamie for a girl or boy

I love Joseph but I also like Jos and Jonathan.

We named our second son Joseph - love it, so pleased we chose it

I’m not suggesting for one moment that you will call your child this, but the indisputable best name ever in the world starting with J is Jermajesty - curtesy of Jermaine Jackson Grin

Joseph

Jobi or Jared

James!

I have one and despite being in top 10 (in Scotland certainly) we rarely come across others of the same age. He was the only one at his primary school. He doesn't know everyone at his high school but if there's any there he hasn't come acoss him yet!

You forgot Jubilee! I think she passed away. I was thinking about the Jubilee Duggar just today!

D0do · 01/08/2018 21:24

Jon, John, Jonathan, Johnnie haven't been mentioned. I like all of them.

James is one of my favourite boys' names. Jared is one that's a bit off the wall but I think it's a biblical name.

Jane is rather nice and not much used now. I quite like Judith, Juliet and Jennie.

I do love James, but I'm aware that it's just too popular for some people's taste..

I have one son named James and the other is Joshua with Joseph as a middle name, so we could call him JJ!

Buffythevampireslayerr · 01/08/2018 21:17

Jesse

ThroughThickAndThin01 · 01/08/2018 21:17

Joseph because I love Joe

Didn't even think about Joel! It's also nice.
We have a Jude in the family & he is a little cutie!

My DD is Erin, so I thought a softer sounding name would compliment it? Or I might just be totally overthinking that as I sit boiling to death in my bubble bath 🙈😂

I do like James, but I wondered if it was too popular x

Joel is the best J name.

Ticcinalong · 01/08/2018 21:16

I like all your list.
Joshua James is a great name if you like J names.

Laska5772 · 01/08/2018 21:14

If you want a boys name:

Jem

RJnomore1 · 01/08/2018 21:14

Jude

Boy or girl
