What do you think Jesse and Jude's brother should be called? (Doesn't have to be a J!)

Not a J name. It's really not OK.

PurBal · 21/01/2023 20:27

I like the J sound. Jonah would be my pick.

I’m not a fan of alliterative kids however I think you’ve started so you have to finish, I know a family with 5 kids, 4 kids the same initial (all J coincidentally) and then the last one has a different initial and I always think it makes her seem like an afterthought or a mistake

So with that in mind I think I would go with Jasper

MrsTerryPratchett · 21/01/2023 20:41

@OnePerson it's gimmicky and cutesy. Children are people in their own right and matchy match names just sound like you wanted a set. The last name is always going to be a compromise. If you have five kids you run out and start naming them names you'd never consider otherwise. What if they don't get on, or are awkward teenagers or just want to be their own person?

Plus OP doesn't mind so might as well pick a good name.
