Jasper and Jonah are my favourite

aliceelizaloves · 05/05/2019 15:53

My top 3:

  1. Jonah Ellis
  2. Elijah James
3.William James

Love Jonah so much, it's classic but unusual and great shortenings. Really like Elijah as well.

pearldeodorant · 05/05/2019 15:30

William James or Jasper Louis are both lovely

Sparklysunflower · 05/05/2019 15:26

The problem with using the French spelling of Louis is that many non French speakers WILL pronounce the S!

Sparklysunflower · 05/05/2019 15:25

Elliott, Jasper and Louie are lovely.

I don't like the Willi part of William and Jack and Finley are overused imo.

Jasper Noel

TheQueensCousin · 05/05/2019 14:03

William James
Jasper Louie

Finley Noel - like this
Elliott Louie - like this
Brody Ellis - don't like this. No offence intended but it sounds American and chavvy at the same time!
William James - like this
Jack Noel - like this
Jasper Louie - don't like
Elijah James - like this
Jonah Ellis - don't like

Finley, Elliot, Jack or Elijah would probably be my choices. William's nice too but I find it a bit plain :)

starkid · 27/02/2019 10:21

But I also prefer Louie spelt like Louis instead

starkid · 27/02/2019 10:20

I really like your list! My favourites are:

Elliott Louie
Jasper Louie
Elijah James

Littledidsheknow · 25/02/2019 19:54

Jasper Louis
or Elijah James

Just make sure you spell Louis properly if you do use it!

Ribbonsonabox · 24/02/2019 19:54

I love Jasper Louie

GreyGardens88 · 24/02/2019 19:52

Not a huge fan of any of them, but definitely not Finley!

17caterpillars1mouse · 24/02/2019 19:46

Jonah Ellis or William James

TheQueensCousin · 24/02/2019 14:09

William James
Jasper Louis

aliceelizaloves · 24/02/2019 13:22

Love Elijah James and Jonah Ellis

Bumblebeesmum · 24/02/2019 12:54

William James

Although there are some great combos not up there like Jonah James or Jonah Noel

ThroughThickAndThin01 · 24/02/2019 11:57

I’d shortlist it to

Finley Noel
William James
Jack Noel

SleepingStandingUp · 24/02/2019 11:53

Finley James
Elijah James
Jonah Ellis

Barbarafromblackpool · 24/02/2019 11:51

Jasper Louie

Sophronia · 24/02/2019 11:50

William James!

PunkAssMoFo · 24/02/2019 09:57

I like:
Jasper
Elijah
Jonah
(But I don’t like the middle name Louie)

Ozgirl01 · 24/02/2019 08:59

My favourites first names are Finley, Elliott, Jack and Jasper. I think Jonah Ellis and Finley Noel have the best flow of the combos, though. I also much prefer Louis to Louie.

Mixing and matching, I like Elliott Finley, Elliott James, Jack Elijah, Jasper Louis, and Jasper Ellis.

certainlymerry · 24/02/2019 07:25

Jonah but not Ellis
William James
I don’t like the others.

MercyBodle · 24/02/2019 07:23

I like:

William James ( though a bit predictable - William Jasper /Louis/ Elliot is better)
Jack Noel (though Jack Elliot is better)
Jasper Louie (though prefer Louis spelling)
