Please help.. We have two boys, Joshua and Jacob and are now expecting a little girl in June. We are stuck for names and can't decide between Jessica or Eden or Evie! Personal preferences?? Smile

Jessica
Eden
Evie (maybe a bit too popular for me)

But all lovely names

80sMum · 08/03/2020 12:43

How about another Old Testament name, to 'go with' your two boys?
Esther?
Rebekah?
Rachel?
Deborah?
Delilah?

Eden or Evie. There are a lot of Jessicas around, although it's a pretty name.

Interested in this thread?

I’d pick Eden or Evie. Jessica is nice but three children with the same initial might make you look like a wannabe Kardashian.

2boysandagirlontheway · 08/03/2020 13:12

Thank you ladies. I love the name Esther but it's already been taken in the family!
Lol reginageorgeous this is what I fear! We've always loved the name Jessica, even when we were expecting our first baby. We haven't purposely done the same letter thing although it may look that way lolGrin

Evie sounds ridiculous when you’re an adult imo. I like Jessica. Eden is a boys name, no? Sounds a bit like Aidan.

Mumoftwoyoungkids · 08/03/2020 13:58

I agree about the Kardashian thing with 3 J’s.

Evie is nice but what about Evelyn as then can be Evie when little but Evelyn is a bit more mature as an adult.

Eden is pretty.

Eve
Ava

Fortyquinn · 08/03/2020 14:23

Jessica is lovely.

2boysandagirlontheway · 08/03/2020 15:43

Thanks all I really appreciate the comments! I like Jessica as it can be shortened to Jessie / Jess which i think are still pretty. I just don't know if it's a name that's been and had its time?!

What do you all think about the name Freya? Better than the other 3??? Can you tell I'm completely unsure!!

What about Isola or Faye?

2boysandagirlontheway · 09/03/2020 19:01

@curlysue thanks but husband doesn't like those

Go with Jessica, it's a lovely name.

Andahelterskelterroundmylittle · 09/03/2020 19:07

I like the Old testament names suggested

Lobsterquadrille2 · 09/03/2020 19:09

Someone in my family has Joshua, Jacob and Thea - they also liked Olivia, Freya and Ella.

Leeds2 · 09/03/2020 19:10

I wouldn't choose Jessica because I wouldn't want three J's. But if you are happy with that, it is a lovely name!
I actually prefer Freya out of the four names you have mentioned.

mytypeonpaper · 09/03/2020 19:13

Joshua Jacob and Eden just all sound abit biblical together. Freya is beautiful love that

2boysandagirlontheway · 09/03/2020 20:28

Thank you, funny when you suddenly think of a name and really like it! Never considered Freya before

2boysandagirlontheway · 03/05/2020 09:21

Thoughts on the name... Freya Bethany Grace Monckton... Mouthful or pretty? Bethany Grace being middle names x

OP posts:
Dieu · 03/05/2020 09:34

That's really nice, OP. The middle names go well.

CormoranStrike · 03/05/2020 09:41

Freya is absolutely beautiful

EyeShipMiceElf · 03/05/2020 09:43

I know someone with 3 boys, 2 are Joshua and Jacob and the 3rd also has a J name and I say the wrong name a lot but people get my kids names mixed up too and never know which one is which so I don’t think it’s primarily the initial thing.
Anyway, back to the question, love Jessica. How about Juno?

LifeIsBrutal · 03/05/2020 10:44

Jessica is the best of those listed.

I like Mikayla and Amelia.

DDTW1267 · 03/05/2020 11:50

Jessica is a lovely name, I should know, I've owned it all my life Wink but I do agree with the 3 J issue. How about Francesca which sounds similar?
