Name ideas J

[Geminii]

Double barrell J names.. Good idea? If so any ideas?

Double barrel first names like Jessica-Jane or Jonathan-James?

Bad idea.

Sometimes I think it sounds okay having JJ but I'm always stuck on what JJ can be shorten from

I think JJ would work with a first and middle name beginning with J. For some reason that seems less cheesy to me than a double barreled first name.

Didn't think of that, thank you!

John Joseph becomes JohnJoe or JJ
Jeremiah John becomes Jerry then JJ (great song - )

Josephine Jane could become JoJo or JJ

First of all, the term 'double barrelled' refers to surnames, not to first names. First names joined by a hyphen are known as 'hyphenated'.

Personally, I don't like hyphenated first names much so I don't think it's a good idea.

However calling a child Jessica Jane or Joseph John, for example, to get the nickname JJ is quite sweet.

I think JJ could just be short for a single name starting with J. That said some combos -

Juniper Jane
Jemima Jean
Josephine Julia
Juliet Jocasta

Jeremy James
Jordan Joseph

Okay thank you and yes my idea is to have JJ as a nickname. I'm also look at uncommon names or names that will more than likely become uncommon in the future. So far I have Joey and Jackson but recently Jackson/jax has become popular

Love these ! :)

My son is James, middle name is with an R, still call him JJ. Nobody questions me on it though.

Joel Jackson
Jacobi John
Jarred Joseph
Josiah Johnathan

Jocelyn Jade
Jennifer Jasmine

I agree that going for a J first name and a J middle would be nicest imo (rather than hyphenating). You've had some lovely suggestions - my personal fave's are James, John, Jonathan, Jared, Jane, Julia, Juliet, Jocelyn and Josephine. If you like more unusual names I'd also add the elegant Jessamine for a girl and Irish Jarlath for a boy.

Also Cornish Jago and Spanish Jacinta have nice sounds to me.

Jayden James

That's the name of one of Britney's sons

Jemima Joy 😏

Any J name can have the nn JJ. Doesn’t need to be hyphenated or even a middle name.

I know someone who's just called Jay...and nn JJ

I’m once worked with a girl called Josephine Joan
(First and middle names), known as Jojo, but could just as easily been JJ. I also know a child called Jacob John (after his grandfathers), known as JJ.

Jolyon Jack

Joseph James
Joseph Jake
Jeremy James
Jacob John
Jameson Jack
Jeremiah John
Jude Jack
Jimmy Joe
Jasper Jake
Jasper Jude

Jessamyn Jane
Jasmine Jay
Josephine Jean
Jacqueline Joan

They're not quite working for me, though I like the nickname JJ

My ds is Thomas Joshua xxxxx and has been called TJ for years!

We recently met another TJ who is actually Thomas J

So I think if you want JJ you can go for first and middle name which would leave you more availability on names as they sound different non double barrelled in a lot of cases.

Examples

Jessica Jane
Johnathan James
Jessie Jay

Jessica Jamelia
Jamie Jessica
Joshua Joseph

Etc
