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!

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.

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

I’ve never really found a J name I like.
Maybe Jasmine.

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!

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

jessstan2 · 24/12/2018 02:08

Jeremy and Jonathan are my favourites.

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