I don’t like ANY names

[Chocolate1992]

First was really easy, named after a family member.

Now due my second boy in 10 weeks and I can’t find ANY names that I really really like.

My “best of a bad bunch” names are Joshua or Joseph.

Joseph sounds a bit too religious and its massively put me off, but bf doesn’t like Joshua either.

Any other normal sounding J names for boys!?

Josiah?

Jonah, Joel, Jude, Jay? James is a classic though

Joshua is as religious as Joseph.
John.

Have you considered the potential logistical difficulties for them both being Mr J 59?

Jonathan
Jolyon
Justin
Jonah
Jared
Jessemy
Jim
Jasper

Jesse?

James is lovely and has some nice nicknames ,- I teach a Jamey, Jay and Jimmy who are all James on their birth certificates.

I love James, we used it as a middle name in the end but would have also been happy with it as a first name. I like Jamie too.

Jack, Joshua and Joseph are all lovely.

Ah, OP, same letter never sounds better together. It's a bit twee really. I'd open up to new names - though James is nice enough.

Jack and Oscar

Jack and Otis

Jack and Finn

Jack and Toby

Jack and Rory

Lots of 4-letter ones there - maybe that could be the link?

Jack and James have the same meaning.

Julius
Julian
Jonas
Jeremiah
Joel
Jason
Jerome

Joshua is more religious than Joseph, in a similar category to Jedidiah, Jeremiah, Josiah, Jacob etc.

Joseph is one of my favourite names, ever. But I am religious and that’s partly why.

I would have suggested Jacob but it’s too close to Jack.

James is lovely. Jude is good as is Jesse. I think you are limiting yourself by insisting on a J name.

Jesus (for the time of year), John, Jeremy, Jerome

But what I like is Jack and Rory

Jace? Not sure it goes too well with Jack though.

These are the top three names I have on my list too.
James
Jack
Jude

Jasper
Jonathan (could be Jonty as a nickname)
James (could be Jamie for nickname)
Justin
Jacob (Jake nickname)

James
Jamie
Jimmy
Jacob
Jonah
John
Jonny
Jonathan
Jordan
Jackson
Jaxon
Jeremy
Julian
Julius
Jenson
Jameson
Jared
Jonty
Jay
Jason
Justin

I love Johnny - reminds me of dirty dancing lol I think it’s so cute but also strong and masculine.
I also like:
Jasper,
Jude,
Jonah,
Josiah,
Jameson.

O and Jesse!

Jaz or Jerome?

Joshua

Jingle Bells

James is a great name - also Jude or Joss.

I like James.

Many good suggestions above. Also Jerome

Just not Jordan or Jaxon!

Jesse
Jeremiah
Jordan
Julian
Jonah
