I really like boys names starting with john (John-Paul, John-Joseph,etc). All my work colleagues hated them when we were talking about it last week Sad. What does everyone else think?

Disambiguate is a word but that's not really a correct use of it is it? Or maybe it is? I enjoy an unusual word choice.

I love John-Paul. I know an 18yo John-Henry who goes by 'JH' to some people. John-Jacob, Jacob-Paul, I've heard Elliot-James before. Jonathan-James?

There is a John-Joe in my child's nursery class. It is one of those names that has the same effect on me as nails down a blackboard,

I know a Jonjo. I'm not a fan, tbh.

I think we'd go for John-Paul if we did go with the hyphen (getting a bit ahead of myself-not even pregnant yet!)

That's interesting about the computer thing sweetkitty, I hadn't considered that. Maybe JohnPaul without a hyphen would eliminate that problem?
Not too concerned about the Waltons. I'm not young and I barely remember it, so doubt kids in 10 years time will have even heard of it.

I knew what you meant by disambiguate Smile
