To go with a first child's name beginning with J.

I'm stuck.

Did you want the name to begin with J, or does your first child have that initial, so you want to avoid it?

Joanna, Judith, Jezebel for a girl.

Also Jonathon, Judah and Judas for a boy.

I'm assuming that the final options in both cases won't be deemed suitable.

To go woth, you said? Samuel, Saul, Noah,
we really need your last initial, coz Adam might be lovely, but not if your surname is Baker!. Peter, Michael (I know a Joshua Michael, nice name)....

Elijah. Best name ever I reckon. I also like Esther

If you like seriously unusual names I have a friend with a ds called Zadok (and second ds called Elijah). I've always thought that sounded rather good.

Miriam or Naomi.

I like Delilah, but DP has always talked me out of this.

Noah might not be nice if your surname is Owen though. Noah Owen... I LOVE Elijah and Isaac.
