Hello!!

There’s so many boy j names that I love but it’s so hard finding pretty girl j names that aren’t overdone. Any suggestions?

Also thoughts on [name_u]Jules[/name_u] for a girl?

And do you prefer Jiovanna or [name_f]Giovanna[/name_f]

Thanks!

You’re right, there are so many good boy J names!

I like [name_u]Jules[/name_u] as a nickname for [name_f]Julia[/name_f] or [name_f]Juliet[/name_f], but not on its own as a given name. I prefer [name_f]Giovanna[/name_f].

[name_f]Jillian[/name_f]
[name_f]Juliana[/name_f]
[name_u]Jubilee[/name_u]

[name_u]Jules[/name_u] is typically a nickname in the USA so that’s what I think of. I would prefer the [name_f]Giovanna[/name_f] spelling.

Here’s a few less common girl names (at least in the US):

[name_f]Josette[/name_f]
[name_f]Joelle[/name_f]
Jenaye
[name_f]Jolene[/name_f]
[name_f]Jessa[/name_f]
[name_f]Jacinda[/name_f]
[name_f]Jacqueline[/name_f]

Hopefully these help

I think [name_u]Jules[/name_u] is great for a girl!

[name_f]Josephine[/name_f] is my favorite J name far and away, but some more I enjoy are:
[name_u]June[/name_u]
[name_f]Jane[/name_f]
[name_f]Juliet[/name_f]
[name_f]Joanna[/name_f]
[name_f]Jovie[/name_f]
[name_u]Jay[/name_u]
[name_u]Jasper[/name_u]
[name_u]Jude[/name_u]
[name_u]Jonah[/name_u]

Greyblue · January 31, 2024, 6:47am

Some of my favourite J names:

[name_f]Juliet[/name_f]
[name_f]Jemima[/name_f]
[name_u]Juniper[/name_u]
[name_u]Juno[/name_u]
[name_f]Josette[/name_f]
[name_u]Jude[/name_u]
[name_u]Joni[/name_u] / [name_f]Joanie[/name_f]
[name_f]Jilly[/name_f] / Jilly-Mae / [name_f]Jillian[/name_f]
[name_f]Jovie[/name_f]

I quite like [name_u]Jules[/name_u] on a girl - unisex, breezy and cool.

I prefer [name_f]Giovanna[/name_f] - Jiovanna looks a bit awkward to me, sorry.

Indilee · January 31, 2024, 7:59am

I really like [name_u]Jules[/name_u]! I prefer it as a masculine name, but the only [name_u]Jules[/name_u] I know is a girl and I think she wears it wonderfully.

I prefer [name_f]Giovanna[/name_f].

[name_f]My[/name_f] favourite J names for girls:
[name_u]Jasper[/name_u] *
[name_u]June[/name_u] *
[name_u]Juno[/name_u]
[name_f]Junia[/name_f]
[name_f]Jetta[/name_f]
[name_u]Josie[/name_u] *
[name_f]Josette[/name_f]
[name_f]Jolie[/name_f]
[name_u]Jean[/name_u] *
[name_f]Jeanie[/name_f]
[name_f]Janie[/name_f]
[name_u]Jonnie[/name_u]
[name_f]Jocasta[/name_f]

Asterisks indicate names that are potentially “overdone”. I also love [name_f]Juanita[/name_f] and [name_f]Jana[/name_f], but they not sure if they count as they don’t start with the ‘j’ sound.

Estrela · January 31, 2024, 4:53pm

[name_u]Jules[/name_u] is a nice name! Unisex, strong and distinct. I prefer [name_u]Jules[/name_u] as a nickname but that’s my personal preference. I also prefer [name_f]Giovanna[/name_f] over Jiovanna. [name_f]Giovanna[/name_f] is stunning, romantic and melodic. Unfortunately, I believe Jiovanna will be frequently misspelled.

The Berries have already offered you many wonderful suggestions. I would like to add [name_u]Jupiter[/name_u], Jasmim, [name_f]Jasmina[/name_f], Jandira, [name_u]Justice[/name_u], Josiana and [name_f]Josiane[/name_f].

Lula-Rose · January 31, 2024, 10:24pm

I don’t mind [name_u]Jules[/name_u] on a girl but as an intuitive nickname for one of the Jul- family of names, on its own it feels too masculine as shares same format as other boys names, [name_u]James[/name_u], [name_u]Miles[/name_u] etc.

Prefer [name_f]Giovanna[/name_f].

J is one of my least favourite name initials for girls, my faves are [name_f]Jane[/name_f] (Janie) and [name_f]Jeane[/name_f] (Jeannie). Also like [name_f]Julia[/name_f] and [name_f]Jamesina[/name_f]. Some other ideas -

[name_f]Joia[/name_f] (Prn. Joy-a)
[name_f]Jocasta[/name_f]
[name_f]Jacinta[/name_f]
[name_f]Judy[/name_f]
[name_f]Julienne[/name_f]
[name_f]Janet[/name_f]
[name_f]Jacobina[/name_f]

[name_u]Jules[/name_u] is cute! However the only Jules’es I know, use it as a nn for [name_f]Julia[/name_f]. I prefer [name_f]Giovanna[/name_f], so pretty!

[name_f]My[/name_f] ultimate favourite ‘J’ girl-names are [name_f]Josephine[/name_f], [name_f]Josette[/name_f] (I heard it’s a nn for [name_f]Josephine[/name_f], but I still adoreee it) and [name_f]Juliette[/name_f]

I also like

[name_f]Juliet[/name_f], [name_f]Jane[/name_f], [name_u]Juniper[/name_u], [name_f]Jasmine[/name_f], [name_f]Jacqueline[/name_f] (I know a [name_f]Jacqueline[/name_f] who goes by [name_u]Jackie[/name_u] ) , Jour, [name_f]Jolie[/name_f] , [name_f]Jolina[/name_f], [name_u]June[/name_u], [name_f]Joanna[/name_f], [name_f]Johanna[/name_f], [name_f]Jonna[/name_f], [name_u]Julianne[/name_u], [name_f]Jette[/name_f]
