Is Jackson DC1 or are you looking for a middle name?

Nousernamesleftatall · 28/11/2020 10:29

Xavier

MikeUniformMike · 28/11/2020 10:33

Alexei and Lukasz, both fine if you have a connection to the culture.

Josiah and Jasper - a bit matchy

Xavier - fine, but he'll get called ex-avier

Isaiah - a bit too long and nothingy

Carter, Ashton, Lawson, Parker, Hudson, Carson, Cooper - all surnames and with Jackson sound like two tv cops.

Austin and Oliver - both surnames but not as obviously so.

MikeUniformMike · 28/11/2020 10:34

Isiah is the spelling.

IckleBear · 28/11/2020 10:43

Only like Jasper out of those.

Enko · 28/11/2020 10:56

Xavier Parker and Carter but its not a list I personally would use

user1493494961 · 28/11/2020 11:31

Dislike most of the 'surname' names. Would choose Josiah, Xavier or Oliver.

Mommabear20 · 28/11/2020 11:35

To be clear, this is to be a first name, not middle name.

They are all spelt as we want to spell them!

and please if you don't like the names, don't comment. Everyone has different preferences but there's no need to be rude.

@Mommabear20, if you spell it Isaiah, he will be correcting people all his life. Something to consider.

Mommabear20 · 28/11/2020 12:18

@MikeUniformMike actually I know of 2 (grown) men with this spelling and have never had to spell it for people

Isaiah is the biblical and "normal" spelling. Sorry if Isiah is a regional variant but I would assume they'd made a mistake.

Chilldonaldchill · 28/11/2020 12:21

Austin, Xavier and Isaiah for me.
I actually prefer Josiah and Jasper but not with Jackson as a sibling.

Spied · 28/11/2020 12:24

I really only like Oliver.
If I had to choose from the others it would be Xavier and Austin.

MikeUniformMike · 28/11/2020 12:24

Ok.

Chilldonaldchill · 28/11/2020 13:00

Apparently Isiah and Izayah are "modern spellings" according to an American website.
I would most definitely stick to tradition Shock

Whatsyourflava · 28/11/2020 15:28

Austin and Oliver ❤️

SquigglePigs · 28/11/2020 15:29

Jasper, Oliver and Lukasz

RosesAndHellebores · 28/11/2020 15:30

Xavier or Oliver

SaffieSoph · 28/11/2020 15:51

Ashton, Hudson and Cooper are my top 3!

IamnotwhouthinkIam · 28/11/2020 18:46

Xavier is by far my favourite, it's lovely - quirky and exotic yet still well known. Jasper and Oliver are nice enough (although Jasper can still sometimes feel a bit old-fashioned, and classic Oliver is very popular here)

VenusClapTrap · 28/11/2020 19:37

Alexei

Peachbubble · 28/11/2020 20:55

Jasper, Hudson, Cooper

EbbaDay · 28/11/2020 22:02

Austin and Ashton ❤️

RoseMartha · 28/11/2020 22:52

Carter
Isaiah
Hudson
