Posted another thread for some more suggestions, but please could we some thoughts on our two front runner names for DD1?

Joy
Jean

Also any middle name pairings would be helpful.

I love them both but I think Jean has the edge in terms of “coolness”.

Jean Imogen

Like both but Jean has the edge. Love Jeanie and Joanie.
Jean Frances is lovely.

I like both but agree Jean is cooler

Jean Frances is great

Jean. It's strong and, well, bold. I think short names like this are due a revival. So refreshing against all the pink, fluffy girls' names of recent years.

And when it comes to spelling stick with 'Jean' .'Jeanne' is French, that doesn't make it more classy. Jeane is as bad as using a 'y' in Jane, I'm my opinion.

Ooh difficult. My parents chose Jean as my middle name, after both my grandmas, but I changed it to Jane when I turned 18 as I hated it so much growing up. Looking back now I wish I'd kept it as I really quite like it, so I'd probably pick Jean out of the two Smile

@ReginaGeorgee Thankyou - you too ☺️ Whichever you choose it will be a winner X
