I wanted Joel if we had a boy ( we had 3 girls so never got to use it)

huggybear · 22/09/2018 20:03

Justin Rose? You must be on the wind up.

Cheeseplantandpickle · 22/09/2018 20:03

Jasper

@huggybear I’m not sure I’m with you?!

I love Jordie or Jordan. If I'd had my way ds would be Jordie but husband wasn't keen. I like Justin though and I think JT is not a big enough star anymore for anyone to think you'd named your baby after him. Jesse is nice but very American which isn't a bad thing but it might not always translate as being a boys name. Congratulations BTW x

I love Jed but DH vetoed it.

Also Jackson and Jacob.

LikeARedBalloon · 22/09/2018 20:09

At school the boy called justin was always teased and called Just In 🍆. It would be a no for me!!

LikeARedBalloon · 22/09/2018 20:09

@huggybear...I get it! No no no!

huggybear · 22/09/2018 20:10

Justin Rose is a pretty famous golfer.

littlemisssunshine81 · 22/09/2018 20:11

Ahhhhh! I had no idea as I have zero interest in golf! Would that be a bad association (for someone into golf)? Good famous or bad famous?

@huggybear Oops! I'm not a golf fan, I just thought it sounded a bit dodgy....too many years at school with a Just In! 😂😂

I think the name Justin is a little dated now but that's just my opinionSmile

I like
Jesse
Josef
Joel
Julian/Julius
Jude
Jonah
Jorge
Joey
Jacob

huggybear · 22/09/2018 20:13

Ha no he's a good golfer.

To be honest I know nothing about golf but he's pretty well known in general.

huggybear · 22/09/2018 20:14

But I will add my favourite J names which are Jesse, Jacob and Joss.

littlemisssunshine81 · 22/09/2018 20:14

Well a better association I guess than Mr Tumble Grin

I forgot Jude! Jude is a lovely name is think.

Motorcyclemptiness · 22/09/2018 20:14

I actually really like Julian and it's not much used at the mo...if I wasn't 102 years old now and was expecting ano DS, I would consider it....

wouldHAVEshouldHAVEcouldHAVE · 22/09/2018 20:15

threesenoughthanks Joel was also on my list for boys but have 3 girls Grin

Love Jamie, Jake and Jace.

Don’t like Jay (doesn’t sound like a name), Justin (willy jokes), Julian (Famous Five, wet sounding)

huggybear · 22/09/2018 20:15

I don't know who Mr Tumble is so can't comment 😂

Sungura · 22/09/2018 20:18

Nothing wrong with Justin. It's okay.

Jayvyn
Jaeger

Jude is lovely. Also Joel. I hate the name Jacob and Jake, so ugly sounding. DS was hospitalised as a baby in a ward with 7 Jacks so I was very glad I'd overruled H on that one.
