I already have two children so with first names/middle names etc feel like I’ve used my favourites.
But I do like these;
Jamie
Quinn
Jared
Archer
Jonah
Jordan
Jasper
(Lots of J names I know!)

What do you think? Or anything negative attached to these I should know about? Or are they just horrible Grin

Oh gosh - ok here goes;
Quinn seems to be a favourite (and to be honest think it’s my fave at the moment too!)
Jamie not James as I have a relative called James...
Jordan will be middle name as it’s a family name (if we don’t use a ‘J’ first name)

Jonah sounds like a fat person with small soft hands

The best opinion on a name I have ever read.

wellwishes · 22/01/2019 16:39

I like Archer best from ur list.
Also like Jonah

Suggestions- Jude, Jack (keeping the J theme)

“Jonah sounds like a fat person with small soft hands”

What? 😂😂😂

DramaAlpaca · 22/01/2019 16:36

I like all the J names, but I'm not keen on the others.

Pick a J name!

IvyandStan · 22/01/2019 16:34

Well my Jamie isn't a whiny know it all🙄

Elfinablender · 22/01/2019 16:02

Small soft hands?! 😂

MissLanesAmericanCousin · 22/01/2019 15:57

confident NOT confidant!

MissLanesAmericanCousin · 22/01/2019 15:48

Quinn sounds handsome, intelligent, confidant, and a little playful.

Jamie sounds like a whiny know it all.

Jonah sounds like a fat person with small soft hands

Archer sounds like cocky and arrogant guy who owns a very flashy but uncool motorcycle.

Jared sounds like an asshole, pretty boy type. Smarmy with girls.

Jordan sounds like a guy who's way into into himself and tweezes his eyebrows. Probably self tans too.

Jasper sounds like an old man that wears overalls who chews tobacco and spits it out in public.

Highly descriptive, I know! But these are the first impressions I get when I hear them. I don't know anyone with these names for reference. These are just the visual images I get when I hear them!

Good luck & Congratulations! Flowers

I really like Quinn and Jamie.

Notso · 22/01/2019 15:04

Jonah is fabulous. It's a name I love but couldn't use as it doesn't go with our surname.

James with nn Jamie would be my second choice. Not sure I'd just got with Jamie.

shpoot · 22/01/2019 14:51

Joseph?

IvyandStan · 22/01/2019 14:49

Jamie 🙂I have one so may be biased 😁

Butterfly84 · 22/01/2019 14:47

Jared is the nicest by far.

Phebes · 22/01/2019 14:30

I like them all except Jordan and Jared.

I vote Jasper, Quinn or Jamie. I’ve only ever known lovely Jamies.

Icklepup · 22/01/2019 14:17

I like Quinn, too

CryptoFascist · 22/01/2019 14:13

Jonah

Elfinablender · 22/01/2019 14:12

I like Quinn.

GB54 · 22/01/2019 14:09

Love Quinn! That’s my favourite.
Not too keen on the others but Jordan is nice.

ReginaPhalange89 · 22/01/2019 13:56

I like Jamie and Jonah.
Quinn is a girls name to me .
Don't like Archer , not sure why
Jared sounds like an American high school boy lol
Jasper is ok but I know a cute little beagle called Jasper so that's all I can think of

erja · 22/01/2019 13:48

Quinn and Jonah are lovely.

Calzone · 22/01/2019 13:36

Jordan and Jared - no.

Archer, Quinn, Jonas yes.

Max is another great name.

MikeUniformMike · 22/01/2019 13:33

Jordan is a boy's name - I know a Jordan who was named before KP made the headlines. I think it's nice. I doubt that the baby's peer group will know of KP or be interested. Jordy is cute as a nn. After Jamie it's my fave from your list.
