boys name that gos with surname jones

[ghostspirit]

hi im looking for a name that gos ok with jones. i dont want any 'J' sounding names and nothing to common. such as albert jones or fred jones etc. i want something to set the jones off a bit because the jones is so common. im not sure if im making any sense haha. hopefully someone can help though :)

i had thought of Isaac jones but when i actully say it im not so sure. then i though harvey jones then i thought that sounds like a department store. :/

Asher Jones
Ethan Jones
Rory Jones
Sebastian Jones
Gabriel Jones
Theo Jones
Reuben Jones
Aiden Jones
Caleb Jones
Felix Jones
Aaron Jones
Zachary Jones
Harrison Jones
Micah Jones
Tristan Jones
Archer Jones
Nathaniel Jones
Levi Jones
Robin Jones
Cary Jones
Xander Jones

Know what you mean, as I'm a Jones too! Think it does need something a bit more distinctive to avoid sounding too plain, and I think slightly longer names tend to sound better. My absolute favourite is Gabriel Jones, which I think sounds fab (like lots of Sophronia's suggestions too). Or:

Xavier Jones
Tobias Jones
Barnaby Jones
Elliot Jones
Alexander Jones
Dominic Jones
Rufus Jones
Orson Jones
Cassian Jones
Magnus Jones
Stellan Jones

Quite like Isaac Jones, but agree that Harvey Jones sounds like a department store (I'd avoid Peter Jones for the same reason! )

thank you perdu and haha i dont know how to say some of them names. how do you say xavier? orson? cassian?

and yeah im leaning towards isaac. i will probably change my mind another 40 times

Anything Welsh. Rhys? Owen?

I think you can go a bit wild with Jones. I think two syllable names sound best. Think Moses Jones, Milton Jones.

I knew an Orson Jones which I liked. Pronounced Or-son.

I knew a Xavier who pronounced it Za-vi-eh. Or Zav for short. I don't know the name Cassian.

I have a Cassian - pronounced as it looks, Cass-ee-an. In the US I think they pronounce it Cashun but no one's ever called him that here. Only ever had good feedback on the name too.
I also like:
Nathaniel
Christian
Rory
Roman

Aled

Ian

Rhodri
Thomas
Evan
Gethin
David (but does sound like the dept store)
Iestyn
Ioan
Wyn
(i'm a Jones but no sons)

Temps, you have nearly got my whole list with ds1 and my pets name in your list

I actually like Jones as a first name.

Isaac Jones sounds really good.

I think a two syllable name sounds best with Jones.

Great minds, yellow!

Definitely agree that you can go a bit wild with Jones, but personally I'd be a bit wary of choosing anything really out there as it risks sounding a bit try hard - either action hero (think Indiana) or Bond girl!

Avoid Hugh/Huw. I knew someone called Hugh Jones who was generally referred to as Huge Ones

I would avoid a common name and agree that an unusual one would be great with such a popular surname. Lots of great suggestions already but how about
Damian Jones
Quentin Jones
Reuben Jones
Nathan Jones

Am also a Jones so interested in this thread! We aren't Welsh though so I am actively avoiding anything that sounds remotely Welsh. Also, we don't know the sex so also looking for girls names.

Anyway, David Jones is an actual department store so avoid that!

We have so far:

Charlie
Harry
Henry
Zach/Zachary
Samuel
Edward
Matthew
Joshua

Jones sounds very cool with most 3/4 syllable names. Gabriel Jones is lovely. Gabriel would have been on my list but it sounds rubbish with our surname.

I also like Lysander and Orlando and think they sound good with Jones, but they might be a bit too out there?

Other more popular names which I think sound nice:

Alexander Jones
Benjamin/ Benedict Jones
Elliot Jones
Rufus Jones
Sebastian Jones
Theodore Jones

As PPs have said, avoid Peter, Harvey (and Nathan... Isn't that a song?)...

im thinking about ethan jones now? but im not so sure because my mums name is eve and i dont like her. and im thinking they sort of sound similar :/

I've got an Adam Jones, bit weird that it would be described as plain :/ he originally had a wild surname but I got married and changed it by deed poll.

My husband wants a Jack Jones! But seeing as he only seems to produce girls, I needn't worry about that :)

I think pretty much any name goes with Jones because its so popular itself.

it was my maiden name and I have a lot of Jones family I shall list the living rellies for you (one is slightly odd, can u guess which one )

When I had my first child 18 years ago, I liked a lot of Christian names beginning with J, Joshua, Jake, James, Joseph, but I avoided them as thought they sounded too much with Jones. But actually I think they sound good now.
