Any nice ‘J’ names?

Making a list of names for baby due in May. Sex unknown. Working through the alphabet but can’t find any I like beginning with J.

Can’t use Josephine or Joseph.

Please spam me with ideas!

goodtimesxd 😆

I quite like Jocelyn though. It sounds gentle and academic, but would be dissed as ‘wet’ on the names board.

jessstan2 · 24/12/2018 02:08

Jeremy and Jonathan are my favourites.

goodtimesxd · 24/12/2018 02:07

@Harebellmeadow wouldn't matter because Jocelyn is a terrible name.

Jerbil

Jasper was our boys name but husbands cousin has just had a baby Casper!! Our current choice is Jarvis.. maybe if you're not a pulp fan this isn't an option!

Love Juliet but surname prevents it (also John, and ‘daniel day’)

James is ok but want to avoid ‘Thomas the tank’ names (ds is obsessed and I’m fed up😫)

Is Joshua a bit 1990s? Always reminds me of Rachel from friends saying ‘joshhh-waaah’ but I do like the sound of it when pronounced correctly.

I like james and joss for a boy or a girl.

Ladymargarethall · 22/12/2018 07:52

I would have said Joni like Joni Mitchell until I came across Joni Erekson-Tada who pronounces it Jonny.

Maraschino · 20/12/2018 19:43

I have a Joni OP, never had any trouble with pronunciation really.

Jolonglegs · 20/12/2018 19:38

My DD is called Jacinta!
