What are your favourite boy names starting with J?

Thoughts on [name_m]Jonty[/name_m] and [name_u]Jerry[/name_u]?

My favorite boy names starting with J (off the top of my head) are: [name_u]Jesse[/name_u], [name_u]Jude[/name_u]/Judah, [name_m]John[/name_m], [name_m]Josiah[/name_m], [name_m]Jeremiah[/name_m], [name_m]Jebediah[/name_m], [name_m]Jedidiah[/name_m], [name_u]Julian[/name_u], [name_u]Jules[/name_u], [name_u]Jericho[/name_u], and [name_m]Joseph[/name_m].

Jonty and [name_u]Jerry[/name_u] aren’t my style, but they’re nice enough!

[name_m]Jonty[/name_m] is a bit… [name_m]Stuffy[/name_m]? I’m not sure if that’s the right name for it. But it’s not my style.

[name_u]Jerry[/name_u] is dated… Makes me think of men in their 50s and the [name_m]Parks[/name_m] & Rec character.

J names I like:

[name_m]Jack[/name_m]
[name_m]Jacob[/name_m]
[name_u]Jensen[/name_u]
[name_u]Jericho[/name_u]
[name_u]Jordan[/name_u]

My favorites are [name_u]Jasper[/name_u], [name_u]Julian[/name_u], [name_u]James[/name_u], and [name_m]Judah[/name_m]. [name_m]Jonty[/name_m] and [name_u]Jerry[/name_u] definitely feel more like nicknames to me, but I suppose they are perfectly wearable – [name_u]Jerry[/name_u] a little more so than [name_m]Jonty[/name_m], imo, since it’s an established name, albeit a dated one. [name_m]Jonty[/name_m] is one I am unfamiliar with, but all I can think of is the word ‘jaunty’.

My favourites are [name_u]Jasper[/name_u], [name_m]Jack[/name_m] and [name_u]Jude[/name_u]. [name_m]Jonty[/name_m] is quite cool too.

sophia_elena · October 5, 2020, 5:18am

Favorite J names are [name_u]James[/name_u], [name_m]John[/name_m], [name_m]Jack[/name_m], [name_u]Jasper[/name_u], [name_u]Jonah[/name_u], & [name_m]Judah[/name_m]! Bonus: my moms all time favorite boys name is [name_m]Jason[/name_m]!

I like [name_m]Jonty[/name_m] and [name_u]Jerry[/name_u]! [name_m]Jonty[/name_m] reminds me of [name_m]Monty[/name_m] and while [name_u]Jerry[/name_u] feels a little familiar I still like it! Think I prefer them as nicknames more though!

I love [name_m]Jonty[/name_m]!!

Hmmm…off the top of my head, although I’m sure there are more…
[name_m]Jago[/name_m]
[name_m]Jorah[/name_m]
[name_m]Joseph[/name_m]
[name_u]Joss[/name_u]
[name_u]Jess[/name_u]
[name_u]Jesse[/name_u]
[name_m]Jove[/name_m]
[name_u]Jules[/name_u]
[name_u]Jem[/name_u]
[name_m]Jonty[/name_m]

They dont seem to be the same style to me if you are considering them as siblings.

Gabriellenz · October 5, 2020, 6:40am

Ooo I’m super intrigued by [name_m]Jago[/name_m]! @futuremama

No not siblings. Our second/ last baby due in [name_u]March[/name_u]. [name_f]My[/name_f] husband has expressed his like of J names for boys. [name_m]Jonty[/name_m] and [name_u]Jerry[/name_u] were two of the names he put forward. I’m definitely leaning more towards [name_m]Jonty[/name_m]!

I quite like [name_m]Jed[/name_m] and [name_u]Jory[/name_u] after some searching - yet to see what he thinks.
Big sis is [name_f]Olive[/name_f]

Greyblue · October 5, 2020, 1:29pm

My favourites are [name_u]Jonah[/name_u], [name_u]Jude[/name_u] and [name_u]Jasper[/name_u]

I do quite enjoy [name_m]Jonty[/name_m] -punchy and rugged.
[name_u]Jerry[/name_u] i find a little dated

QuirkFlower · October 5, 2020, 2:06pm

With [name_f]Olive[/name_f], I like [name_m]Jonty[/name_m] or [name_u]Jory[/name_u]. [name_u]Jerry[/name_u] is too dated with fresh [name_f]Olive[/name_f].

anon47024950 · October 5, 2020, 2:50pm

I love [name_u]Jonah[/name_u]!

Other J names I like:
[name_u]Jasper[/name_u]
[name_m]Jonty[/name_m]- I like it but I don’t think I’d use it.
[name_u]Jay[/name_u]
[name_m]Jago[/name_m]

Kipperbo1 · October 5, 2020, 3:29pm

Jonty and [name_u]Jerry[/name_u] are not really my style! I don’t love a whole lot of J boys names but here are the ones I do love…

Jasper
[name_u]Jude[/name_u]
[name_m]Judah[/name_m]
[name_m]Julius[/name_m]
[name_u]Julian[/name_u]

EdgeOfTheMeadow · October 5, 2020, 5:15pm

J names for boys are tricky for me, I can’t find many I like! My current favourite is Jaco, which I PN “jay-koe”, rhyming with Draco, although the Portuguese PN may be nothing like this!

katinka · October 5, 2020, 5:26pm

I love J names for boys!

Some of my favourites…

Jem
[name_u]Joss[/name_u]
[name_u]Jules[/name_u]
[name_u]Julian[/name_u]
[name_m]Jago[/name_m]
[name_u]Jess[/name_u] or [name_u]Jesse[/name_u]
[name_u]Jude[/name_u]
[name_u]Jay[/name_u]
[name_m]Jonas[/name_m]
[name_m]Jura[/name_m]

I like [name_m]Jonty[/name_m] a lot, it’s (literally) a very jaunty sounding name. [name_u]Jerry[/name_u] is very mid-century to me. Not my personal favourite but I can see how it could be an ahead-of-the-curve cool choice in 2020.

emarias22 · October 5, 2020, 5:28pm

Jonty and [name_u]Jerry[/name_u] aren’t really my style, but I love plenty of other J boy names!

Julian
[name_u]Jasper[/name_u]
[name_m]Jonathan[/name_m]
[name_u]Jude[/name_u]
[name_u]James[/name_u]
[name_m]Joel[/name_m]
[name_m]Josiah[/name_m]
[name_m]Jacoby[/name_m]

Kipperbo1 · October 5, 2020, 5:30pm

How could I forget [name_u]Jem[/name_u] and [name_u]Jules[/name_u]?? Two of my favorites!

EdgeOfTheMeadow · October 5, 2020, 5:31pm

I forgot [name_u]Jet[/name_u]

pamjsg991 · October 5, 2020, 5:32pm

Jacob, [name_m]Jacoby[/name_m], [name_u]Jericho[/name_u], [name_m]Joah[/name_m], [name_m]Josiah[/name_m].

I love [name_u]Jensen[/name_u] and [name_u]Jules[/name_u] for girls.

I’ve never heard of [name_m]Jonty[/name_m], but it has a cool vibe. I don’t care for [name_u]Jerry[/name_u].
