Hello there!
\nA friend from work introduced me to your blog when I was pregnant with my first child. Since then, I have always enjoyed reading your thoughts and suggestions! I am now pregnant with our third child, a baby boy who is due the beginning of December. This little one will be the sibling to our 3yo daughter, Elliot Marie Determann, and our 23 month old son, Judd Hobson Determann. I should include that our last name is pronounced like “better man” with a D. We would like to stick with J names for boys and E name for girls. Of course we had a girl name picked out, Evyn Hazel, but God had other plans;) Fingers crossed that we get to use the name one day!! Also, we like to include a family name in the mix. Elliot and Judd’s middle names are both family names. Some names that we have thrown around inlude:<\/p>\n

Johnny Webb (I love, husband hates)
\nShelby Jones (he would go by Jones or possibly Jonesy?? My grandfather was Shelby Hughes and some people called him Hughsey)
\nJentry\/Jent
\nJesse\/Jess
\nJeb
\nJules (husband not a fan)<\/p>\n

Some possible family names that could be used as first or middle names include:
\nWebb
\nHughes
\nWallace
\nMac
\nButler
\nRobert<\/p>\n

We tend to like names that are different, but not to far out there. I’d like to stay away from anything to on trend or popular! Thank you for your help and I look forward to hearing back from you!!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Judd and Jeb seem too similar to me for brothers. I find I start thinking one of the names is Jed.<\/p>\n

Judd and Jent also seem too similar to me, with a similar Judd\/Jed confusion. But Judd and Jentry don’t seem too similar at all, and I don’t usually worry so much about nickname compatibility.<\/p>\n

And then Jules and Johnny are crossed off by your husband, so that leaves us with Shelby and Jesse and Jentry. Presumably you’ve already been through the whole J section of the baby name book, but let’s see if we can find some more names to add to the list anyway.<\/p>\n

Jones. I assume there is already a reason this has been rejected as a first name choice, and yet wanted to specifically say how well I think it meets your preferences and works with the sibling names.<\/p>\n

Jasper. This depends in part on whether you like the repeating -er- sound with the surname.<\/p>\n

Jagger. Another with a repeating -er- sound.<\/p>\n

Jennings. This has a strong Peter Jennings association for me: not too strong to use it, just strong enough to make it familiar and positive.<\/p>\n

Jace. Possibly too on-trend, but I thought of it because of Jess.<\/p>\n

Jamie. Similar to Jessie and Johnny.<\/p>\n

Jax. Possibly too on-trend.<\/p>\n

Janson\/Jansen\/Jenson\/Jensen. I wonder if that ending is a little sing-song with the surname.<\/p>\n

Jarvis.<\/p>\n

Jay. I love the simplicity of this, and I think it works with Judd without being too similar. Elliot, Judd, and Jay. I especially like Jay Wallace, but I also like Jay Hughes, Jay Butler, and Jay Robert.<\/p>\n

Jem. A pleasing To Kill a Mockingbird reference, though does give me the Judd\/Jed confusion. I think it’s something about the short-E sound combined with a consonant ending. Jem could also be a nickname for Jeremy or Jerome.<\/p>\n

Jim\/Jimmy. This has gone out of style as a nickname for James, so that people in the parent\/grandparent generation are using it but the people in the child generation are mostly not. In this way it reminds me of Johnny, and I think it has a similar appealing sound.<\/p>\n

Joe. I like this as much as I like Jay. Elliot, Judd, and Joe. I like Wallace best again for the middle name; I also like Joe Hughes.<\/p>\n

Joel. This one joins my favorites list as well. Underused and appealing. Elliot, Judd, and Joel. I especially like Joel Robert, but also like Joel Butler.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
