I have a son called Joshua. I love J names for boys. I'm not having anymore but if I did I would like Jesse or Jared. I also have a nephew named Jude x

wishingstaar12 · 15/02/2025 17:33

I also like the names Elijah and Zachary (not j 😄)

"Josh & Jesse" sounds so lovely

Yes I love those names 😄 My son hates Joshua so he calls himself Josh and corrects me if I use his full name 😂

PollyannaGladGame · 15/02/2025 17:41

Love Jesse! If I'd have ever had a third boy it defo would have been used.

Coffeeishot · 15/02/2025 17:44

Jesse or Joel, I think I prefer Joel

Moreteaandchocolate · 15/02/2025 17:53

Jonah, Jacob, Joel, James and Joseph are my favourites.

What names have you considered?

DisforDarkChocolate · 15/02/2025 17:55

Just make sure you don't end up with post that you can't tell who it belongs to.

Joseph is my favourite.

Oh we have this a parent and child well long left home but yes it was sometimes an issue.

Jayden, Jamie, Jackson, Jared, Joey

Love J names for boys, my favourites are Jake, Jude and Jonah

H7529 · 15/02/2025 18:34

Jonah, Julian and Jolyon are my favourites

LavenderFields7 · 15/02/2025 18:35

Jude

NewHeaven · 15/02/2025 18:35

Please don't name him with the same letter as your other son. My mum did that with me and my brother and there was always a fight over post for L. NewHeaven.

There are 25 other letters in the alphabet, please choose another.

Have you read through all the J names in a baby names book or website?

MushroomQueen · 15/02/2025 18:48

I have a James and I loved Jack but couldn't use it bc of pronunciation where we live. I also like Joseph aka Joe, Joey etc.

Cotswoldmama · 15/02/2025 18:53

I love Jago it's my sons middle name, I also like Jesse and Jesper (could be Jesse for short) they were on my list. Jonah, Jonas...

I would suggest that whatever name you choose, and plenty of suggestions have been made, that it is one with a conventional spelling. Do not burden your son with a lifetime of having to correct people.
