I already have two children so with first names/middle names etc feel like I’ve used my favourites.
But I do like these;
Jamie
Quinn
Jared
Archer
Jonah
Jordan
Jasper
(Lots of J names I know!)

What do you think? Or anything negative attached to these I should know about? Or are they just horrible Grin

“Jonah sounds like a fat person with small soft hands”

What? 😂😂😂

wellwishes · 22/01/2019 16:39

I like Archer best from ur list.
Also like Jonah

Suggestions- Jude, Jack (keeping the J theme)

Jonah sounds like a fat person with small soft hands

The best opinion on a name I have ever read.

@MissLanesAmericanCousin laughed so hard at your comments Grin

Oh gosh - ok here goes;
Quinn seems to be a favourite (and to be honest think it’s my fave at the moment too!)
Jamie not James as I have a relative called James...
Jordan will be middle name as it’s a family name (if we don’t use a ‘J’ first name)

I likes Archer and would use ‘Archie’ I think...
Jared was a bit ‘out there’ I know but I kinda liked it for an older child it’s not really for a baby..

I’d be tempted to use Jasper (unless is it too much of a dogs name?) unless he was a red head as I wouldn’t want him to be called Jasper Carrot (possibly overthinking!) Grin

I read somewhere that Jonah was bad luck???
Now I’m more lost!
But I really appreciate the comments!

Sorry had to keep pressing send as the youngest was trying to snatch my phone!

Re Jude/Jack suggestions; I love both but a friends baby called Jude and a good friend called Jack! Sad

I think Quinn with Jordan as middle name would be lovely!

WFTisgoingoninmyhead · 22/01/2019 19:48

Love Jonah but my DD has chosen that for her impending son so you can’t have that 😂😂. I love the name Eric it is so nice and my SoniL was not having any of it!!

tammytoby · 22/01/2019 20:02

Jonah is indeed the bringer of bad luck.

Quinn is great and Q a cool initial! Jordan would work well as middle name.

Good luck!

I love Jasper, my easy favourite from your list.

Quinn, Jared and Archer are okay. I don't like the others but I do like James nn Jamie.

Chocolatecake12 · 23/01/2019 22:31

Joel
Jacob
Joshua
Jenson
Johnathon
Just for a few more j names to add!

Namedrama · 23/01/2019 22:35

Warning on Jared - it’s very likely that President Trump’s son in law, Jared, will be central to his downfall due to his links with Russia. So the name Jared will likely be in the news an awful lot and for all the worst reasons. I would avoid.

I like Jamie and Jasper.

villamariavintrapp · 23/01/2019 22:54

Quinn is too close to Quim

lilyblue5 · 24/01/2019 08:17

@Chocolatecake12 thanks! I like all but Jacob (already taken in this family!) oh dear the list is getting longer Confused
@Namedrama very good point!
@villamariavintrapp what’s a Quim!?? GrinConfused

Love Quinn and Jamie!

Milasmummy · 24/01/2019 10:08

Sorry I don’t like any. Just being honest.

lilyblue5 · 24/01/2019 10:33

@Milasmummy that’s allowed too! Grin

Jamie - only if short for James.
Quinn - truly awful
Jared - bit American and dated.
Archer - quite like.
Jonah - no (means jinx - it's a word in the dictionary)
Jordan - OK-ish, but still seemed dated to me.
Jasper - probably the classiest, but I don't like it. I find it a bit wet.

tammytoby · 24/01/2019 10:53

Jamie, Quinn and Jasper are lovely.

babypsmum · 24/01/2019 10:57

Love Archer.
