We are still very early in, but I was thinking on boy names so I am wondering What are your thoughts on the name [name]John[/name]? My husband’s name is [name]Giovanni[/name] and his father is [name]Juan[/name]. All forms of [name]John[/name]. Our other sons’ have biblical names: [name]Jonah[/name] [name]Joseph[/name], [name]Levi[/name] [name]Benjamin[/name] and [name]Isaiah[/name] [name]Daniel[/name]. So, while I thought about [name]Ian[/name] (considered [name]Ian[/name] [name]Luke[/name])… I am thinking [name]Ian[/name] is going to sound off, with brothers who have Biblical names. So hubby asks, what about [name]John[/name] [name]Luke[/name]. I have never really considered [name]John[/name], but it is starting to grow on me some.
However I am not sure how it sounds woth [name]Luke[/name], and hubby thinks it would be great to call him the name togetehr “[name]John[/name] [name]Luke[/name]”. We live in the south So, what are your thoughts on [name]John[/name], and what are some other middle names that would be a good choice, maybe something a little fresher. We are conservatice Christians, so using biblical names are fine, but I would like the name to sound good, strong and classic Any ideas?
Thanks for your input!
[name]John[/name] [name]Luke[/name] doesn’t sound right to me because the french version, [name]Jean[/name]-[name]Luc[/name], is so much more familiar to me. I did really like [name]Ian[/name] [name]Luke[/name] from your other thread. I think somebody had suggested [name]Jonathan[/name] [name]Luke[/name] which I also like more than just [name]John[/name] [name]Luke[/name]. [name]John[/name] seems a little plain compared to [name]Jonah[/name], [name]Levi[/name] and [name]Isaiah[/name].
Some of my favorite biblical names are [name]Benjamin[/name], [name]Jeremy[/name], [name]Elijah[/name], [name]Silas[/name], [name]Timothy[/name].
I just thought about the name [name]Alexander[/name]. I do believe it is also a Biblical name. [name]John[/name] [name]Alexander[/name], or [name]Alexander[/name] [name]John[/name]… ???
I love [name]Silas[/name], but our last name starts with the “ES” sound so, I am not sure that would sound good. I also like [name]Ezra[/name]. [name]Ezra[/name] [name]Luke[/name] or [name]Ezra[/name] [name]John[/name].
I think that [name]John[/name] and [name]Luke[/name] sound fine together. If you are thinking of variations of [name]John[/name], I do like [name]Ian[/name] or even [name]Ivan[/name].
I also like:
[name]John[/name] [name]Asa[/name]
[name]John[/name] [name]David[/name]
[name]John[/name] [name]Edward[/name]
[name]John[/name] [name]Ephraim[/name]
[name]John[/name] [name]Mathew[/name]
[name]John[/name] [name]Robert[/name]
[name]John[/name] [name]Samuel[/name]
[name]Hi[/name]!! Congratulations! I just saw your other post on your pregnancy. (Inbox me if you can!)
I like [name]John[/name] a lot:
[name]John[/name] [name]Patrick[/name]
[name]John[/name] [name]Lucas[/name] (I love [name]Luke[/name], but not with [name]John[/name] as much)
[name]John[/name] [name]Samuel[/name]
[name]How[/name] about [name]Evan[/name] [name]Luke[/name]? [name]Evan[/name] is the Welsh form of [name]John[/name].
I think that [name]John[/name] is just too common. Try something unquie like [name]Vincent[/name] or [name]Asher[/name] or even [name]Cody[/name]. Thats just what i think
I love the name [name]John[/name] but I’m not too fond of it with a brother named [name]Jonah[/name]. What about [name]John[/name] [name]Lucas[/name] or [name]John[/name] [name]Luca[/name]? The [name]Luke[/name] sound is still there but isn’t as choppy as [name]John[/name] [name]Luke[/name].
I love [name]Ezra[/name] [name]John[/name] for you!
[name]John[/name] by itself is a little plain and is rather close to [name]Jonah[/name]. However, [name]John[/name] [name]Luke[/name] as a double barrel first sounds lovely. I’m considering [name]John[/name]-[name]Henry[/name] myself, after [name]John[/name] [name]Henry[/name] the [name]Steel[/name]-driving [name]Man[/name]!
I said the name a few times and realized it sounded awfully familiar. Then I remembered why I seem to really like the combo. [name]Captain[/name] [name]Jean[/name]-[name]Luc[/name] [name]Picard[/name] from [name]Star[/name] Trek: The Next Generation is a great namesake ([name]Jean[/name] is pronounced the French way). But, just FYI, incase you didn’t know, that a boy named [name]John[/name] [name]Luke[/name] will have people ask if you are Trekkies.
I agree with those who say that [name]John[/name] and [name]Jonah[/name] in the same family would be too confusing. Additionally, your sibset right now consists of Bible names that sound more “today”, whereas [name]John[/name] is most definitely a “classic”. I would suggest [name]John[/name] or [name]Jonathan[/name] as a middle name, and choose a fresher sounding Bible name such as:
I totally [name]LOVE[/name] [name]John[/name]. It is not as common as it used to be. I also [name]LOVE[/name] [name]Jonathan[/name] with nn [name]Jon[/name]. I like [name]Luke[/name] a lot as a fn but not a mn with [name]John[/name]. It doesn’t flow well. I think kyemsma’s suggestion is great. [name]John[/name] [name]Lucas[/name] flows very well.
I would definately use [name]John[/name] if you love it!
I’m a big fan of [name]John[/name] [name]Alexander[/name], but I’m biased!
Other names that were on our list:
[name]John[/name] [name]Isaac[/name]
[name]John[/name] [name]Benjamin[/name]
[name]John[/name] [name]Samuel[/name] nn JS = [name]Jesse[/name]
[name]John[/name] [name]Nathaniel[/name] (although this sounds much like [name]Jonathan[/name])
Otherwise:
I really like the name [name]Nathaniel[/name]. It means gift of God.
[name]Andrew[/name]
[name]Jude[/name]
[name]Zachary[/name] (modern equivalent of [name]Zachariah[/name])
[name]Micah[/name]
There are lots of great options!
I personally think [name]John[/name] [name]Luke[/name] doesn’t sound quite right. I am also a lover of biblical names and all my boys have biblical first names so I will suggest a few names for you, [name]Caleb[/name], [name]Noah[/name], [name]Thomas[/name], [name]Ethan[/name], [name]Aaron[/name], [name]Silas[/name], [name]Ezra[/name], [name]Victor[/name], [name]Asa[/name], [name]Asher[/name], [name]Jacob[/name], [name]Lucas[/name], [name]Matthew[/name], [name]Micah[/name], [name]Jude[/name], [name]Nathan[/name], [name]Philip[/name], [name]Reuben[/name], [name]Samuel[/name], [name]Seth[/name] and [name]Eli[/name]/[name]Elijah[/name].
Right now both hubby and I are LOVING [name]John[/name] [name]Patrick[/name]!!! I don’t know why I didn’t think of it before! [name]Patrick[/name] is my grandfather’s middle name, my brother’s first name and it is a name that goes back generations on my side! I believe, [name]John[/name] [name]Patrick[/name] has that elegant, strong classic feel! I know it isn’t as Biblical as my other boys’ but I think it would fit! Thoughts???
So, what are your thoughts on [name]John[/name], and what are some other middle names that would be a good choice, maybe something a little fresher. We are conservatice Christians, so using biblical names are fine, but I would like the name to sound good, strong and classic 
Any ideas?
