On just seeing the thread title I thought "Jennifer Joy" or "Jessica Jane".

NonaGrey · 23/11/2018 10:43

Choose the name where you also like all the alternative nicknames.

So if you don’t like Jess, or Jules or Jenny avoid those. Or choose the one you like best.

My DD uses a different nickname to the one we started using when she was a baby and my DS doesn’t like the short form of his name and prefers the full name.

Your child and to a certain extent their friends will choose their nickname so make sure you are happy with all the alternatives. Grin

I also thought Jessica Jane

Jessica Joan

Julia Jane or Jennifer Joy

But seems a very backward way to name a child. Shouldn't nicknames evolve from the name rather than vice versa?

Jessica joy

spacefighter · 23/11/2018 11:01

I like the suggestion of Jessica Jayne or Jennifer Joy.

Sophronia · 23/11/2018 11:04

Julia Joy or Jennifer Joy

What NonaGrey said.

I have 3 grown dc. Not one of them is known by what we thought we liked, when giving them their names.

AlliKaneErikson · 23/11/2018 19:48

Another who instantly thought Jessica Jane!

SoupDragon · 23/11/2018 19:53

Jennifer Jane

ReginaPhalange89 · 23/11/2018 20:10

I love the name Joy as a nn!

Jessica Joy or Jennifer Joy are my favs. I have a Jessica and she mostly gets called Jess

OneTwistedAngel · 23/11/2018 20:14

Jessica Juliet. I like Juliet best out of all your names so throwing out there;
Juliet Joy
Juliet Jane
Juliet Jade

RiaOverTheRainbow · 23/11/2018 20:43

I like Julia a lot.

Jessica Joan immediately makes me think of the superhero Jessica Jones, up to you whether that's a plus or a minus.

Reggie24 · 23/11/2018 21:20

My daughters initials are JJ, her middle name is Jaye.
She gets called J or JJ more than her actual first name !
My favourite from your list would be Jennifer Joy.

LizFi · 23/11/2018 21:26

I prefer your middle name suggestions to first names. Jasmine Joy/Juliet is nice. Jane is a lovely first name too.

namechange5575 · 23/11/2018 21:32

I've got a Juliet Jean Smile

SherlockHolmes · 23/11/2018 21:35

I always think giving someone the name Joy is asking for trouble. I'd avoid that one, but the others are all nice.

Very pleased that you weren't suggesting JJ as a name Grin

Polkasq · 23/11/2018 22:18

Julia Josephine

Azure83 · 23/11/2018 22:24

All the Julia options!

Goostacean · 23/11/2018 22:41

The options with a one-syllable second name (Joy, Jane) sound best to me!
