I do hope that isn't her ds2's name!!

Jane, of course. It needs to be revived as no-one under 25 is called it and its will be like Winifred in a few years time.

...getting silly now! Can you tell I'm bored at work?

James Luca or Jude Laurence for a boy
Josephine Lily for a girl

Not sure I'd be very pleased if I discovered that I had been given certain names only to make a pleasing pattern in the family name book . A friend has 6 boys and has given them all names beginning with J - which will make it fun when they all start receiving letters addressed to Mr. J. *, unless they insist that all correspondence include their middle initials.

Judith (Judy) Lynne.

Yes, why do they care about the initials matching? Have noticed that Luca has become fashionable. My nephew recently called his baby son Jude (weird or everyone associates it with film star). I always liked Juliet but worried it would get shortened to Julie, Jules etc.

How about JL It is quite fashionable, though not my taste just to have initials, and think when she gets oldre her friends cans say they have 'been to jail, gaol' Sorry but I think a baby should be named out of love and because the names having meaning to the parents rather than because of the way that they 'look' I think your friend needs a talking to IMO, sorry!

Names I think are lovely with the right initials - Jasper, Josephine, Joanna, Johnny (John), Jamie (James), Jessamy, Julia, Louisa, Lawrence, Lana, Lizzie, Louis, Lily, Lillian.

It's quite a good way to narrow it down, start with initials and go from there.

My friend has called all her children names starting with "S" - nothing wrong with it imo.

I think:

J - Jack, Jacob, Jessie/Jesse and Jasmine

L - Louise or Laurence are really good middle names I think. (and first names too - don't want to offend anyone!)

The only thing is that it restricts the choice but I suppose its a way of narrowing it down.

I don't think they need a good talking to at all. Lots of families have naming traditions but that doesn't mean the names aren't chosen with love. The names I chose for DSs are celtic and my Mythical Third Child would have a celtic name to fit in - the name would still be chosen and bestowed with love

My mum and her 5 siblings are all J's, and my aunts 4 (and me - although that's just conincidence) are all CL's Anyway the L's are Louise, Letita, Lee (a girl) Luke, Laura. The J's are John, Jimmy, Josephine, Jenny, Jeffery, and Judy.

I love Luca, I wanted to call ds2 it.

Absolutely nothing wrong with choosing by initials - my dh's only name begins with J, my middle name is Josephine and we chose Jane as dd's middle name because it went well with her first name. So when ds arrived it was natural for us to choose a middle name that began with J as well.
