Hope (surname Jones) with either Jessica Dawn both or one or the other as a middle name?
Just think it's fitting as I lost my sister (Jessica) last year, I've had a tough pregnancy and just a lot of negative things have happened these past few years. Nice or naff?

Lovely.

Hope is a lovely name, it was on our list too 💕
Sorry to hear about your sister, I just wanted to make you aware that there is a marvel character called Jessica Jones and a Netflix show of that name. Obviously, it's in honour of her so you might not care and it probably won't be well known when she is older but I think a fair amount of people might make the assumption for now. I was surprised no one pointed it out before me....
So maybe another middle name after Jessica and before Jones might be best if this does concern you

I love Hope. It's beautiful.
Hope Jessica Jones is perfect.
Sorry about your sister. Pp is right - she'll be with you in spirit.

And I'm so sorry about your sister Flowers she will always be with you in spirit.

Hope was on my girl's shortlist Smile (we had a boy so it wouldn't have worked..!)

I like Dawn Jessica Jones
Or Hope Jessica Jones
Or Hope Jessica Dawn Jones

But Hope Dawn Jessica Jones doesn't sit right when I say it. I think it's the Hope and the Dawn being next to each other.

Sorry to hear about your sister, it's lovely of you to honour her by using her name for your baby Flowers

Hope Jessica Jones is beautiful 😍 😍 😍 😍
It’s stunning - and makes her sound like a marvel heroine! (Don’t think you need Dawn.)

(Ignore the idiot suggesting she’ll be known as Hopeless - she will not - virtue names are becoming popular and I think Hope will become more so.)

So sorry about your sister.

Chachachawoo · 04/09/2021 22:48

Sorry for the loss of your sister.
Hope Jessica would be my choice.

Seashor · 04/09/2021 22:22

Hope will do something and will be forever known as Hopeless.

Yespresh · 04/09/2021 19:13

I like it. She sounds like a classy actress.

Really lovely 😊

RoseMartha · 04/09/2021 19:06

Lovely name Smile

Balonzette · 04/09/2021 19:05

Hope Dawn Jessica Jones 😍 100%

Balonzette · 04/09/2021 19:04

Hope is BEAUTIFUL.

Simple but not boring. Very pretty but not frilly. Just generally lovely in every way. 💜

NewNameADayKeepsSpiesAtBay · 04/09/2021 18:43

Lovely and I’d use both middle names but possibly the other way around - Hope Dawn Jessica Jones

linerforlife · 04/09/2021 18:39

My DD's middle name, so I may be biased but I think it's lovely!

Enko · 04/09/2021 18:36

lovely name

Whenigrowupiwanttobea · 04/09/2021 17:42

My baby granddaughter is called Hope! She was born after her daddy had been to a dark place and we nearly lost him. She suits her name!

LiveSimply · 04/09/2021 17:37

Beautiful 💙

Noshowwithoutpunch · 04/09/2021 17:34

Hope Jessica

Classica · 04/09/2021 17:32

Hope Jones has a lovely warm sound. And the middle name in honour of your sister is perfect.

I'm sorry you've had such a tough time of it. Wishing you all the best for the coming months Flowers

Jeschara · 04/09/2021 16:58

Like it very much.

FASDE1517 · 04/09/2021 13:52

I like it. I'd definitely include Jessica as it's a lovely tribute but also Hope Dawn Jones is a bit seems a bit snappy to me with three one syllable words.
