[SweetBella]

my best friend jessica and her husband justin just had their first daughter julia about a year ago....well, they are pregnant again....and although they love so many different names for the new baby, they feel like they will leave it out if they don't name it with a J name.... i gave a list if cute J names that i like.... and she even likes some but they both are agreeing.... do you know any cute J names...boy and girl? thanks!!

My aunt and uncle have 7 kids all with J names. Let me see if I can remember them all.

Jayson, Jaxon, Jodi, Jonathon, Jared, Juliana, Jenica

My cousin is expecting a daughter named Joslyn.

 

[sammipher]

oh...I really like jenica....I also like the name jenna. Here are some other names:
Jadie
Jayla
Joshlyn
Josephine
Journey or Jurnee(I also really loved this one...one on my list...hubby wasn't quite so fond)

Joshua
Jacek
Jameson
Jamison
Jasper
Jayland
Jedidiah
Jeremiah
Josiah
Jude(what beatles fan can resist?)

A great book on names is the mother of all baby name books....This is where I got these...these are the ones I had highlighted when I was pregnant for my daughter..before we knew what we were having.

 

[PegasusOnFire]

Jordan (boy or girl)
Javier (it is an alternative spelling for Xavier which is Arabic for Bright)
Jada
Jaxson (pronounced like Jackson)
Jerrald
Jaylynn or Jaylin

 

[Beth1231]

Joshua, Jason, Jennifer...those are the only three I can think of that haven't been suggested! By the way, if the have three or more kids, I would think the last one would be grateful to not be a "J" name. At least then people wouldn't be confusing his/her name as much as the siblings.

[3kidsmom]

Johanna, Jocelyn, Joelle, Janelle, Jayne

Jeremy, Jameson, Jack

 

[Leanna]

Oh man I thought I had thought of a one that no one would... but they had.... I was going to say Jocelyn. I know a little baby given that name in a family of J's.... actually I have known three J families and an H family. Also, Jana.

 

[Joykins]

I'm a member of a "J" family.

Joy <-- me
Joshua
Jonathan
Johanna

My brothers are doing the "J" thing with their kids:
Jared
Joel
Jackson

Names that didn't get used because the baby was the opposite sex:
Jeffrey
Jacey

Also my grandfather was named John Joseph. I think it was a standard issue Catholic name ca. 1918

 

[Leanna]

Jackson! I should have thought of that. I like that name.

I also know a G family.... if my husband and I had the same starting initial we might have such a fun trend....

 

[Linnis]

My mother almost named me Jocelyn but my dad wouldn't have it. Thanks Dad!

My nephew had 2 Jackson's on his baseball team this year.

 

[Entertaining_Angels]

I know a little girl named Jesenia. I absolutely love the name.

 

[Linnis]

A friend of mine has a kid named Janessa.
