[name]Hi[/name] all! I’m 27.5 weeks pregnant and at a loss with boys names. Our daughter’s name is [name]Jasper[/name] [name]Harlow[/name] (last name beginning with a J, 3 syllables) and we would like to come up with a fitting name for baby boy that works well with [name]Jasper[/name].
Unfortunately there is a J Name “tradition” (using that word loosely since my husband is the ONLY grandchild carrying this “tradition” on…). So the first name has to start with a J.
So far we have come up with [name]JUDE[/name] and [name]JUDSON[/name] (nn [name]Jud[/name]). My fav is [name]Jude[/name], however my husband isn’t convinced with either of them. I would go with [name]James[/name], but that is my husbands name and we know his family will not call the baby “james” but rather something like: lil’ jim, lil’ jimmy, etc. So that is off the table. I have a horrible issue with name associations and we have found that i know someone with every J name in the book. and I do love [name]Jack[/name] and [name]Jackson[/name] (both grandfathers names are [name]Jack[/name]) but I cannot go there b/c they are TOO POPULAR right now and my husband is adamant about not having a super popular name (i’m with him on this one).
My issue right now is middle names and which one of these names will go best with [name]Jude[/name] or [name]Judson[/name] (and which one of those names do you like best? afraid that jude is becoming too popular…afraid that judson sounds a bit “country”).
Middle names (we have an “artist” thing going for many of these…which is where our daughters name came from also):
[name]WILLEM[/name]
[name]BIX[/name] - this is my husbands fav ([name]Jude[/name] [name]Bix[/name] I think is his first choice at this point. i like it but worried about the 1/1/3)
[name]CY[/name]
[name]THERON[/name] - i’m not sure this is even on the list anymore…but i’m keeping it on there for the moment.
KLEIN
[name]ELLSWORTH[/name]
[name]WALTER[/name] - husband isn’t a fan of this one but i just keep adding it back on b/c i love the nn [name]Walt[/name]
Thanks in advance!
