My husband and I are expecting baby #2 (a girl!) who is due September 10. He and I, along with our first daughter, Jenna Elizabeth, share the same initials including middle initials. We can’t decide if we want to continue with this or not. I’m leaning toward not using another J name because I don’t want people to confuse our kids. We like names that are “normal,” somewhat traditional, but under-used. We’re not fans of super trendy names like Grace, Claire, Ellie, Isabel, etc.<\/p>\n
Our top picks for J names are:
Joni Ellis (Joni for my husband’s grandmother, Joan)
Jane
Jocelyn<\/p>\nOr top picks for non-J names are:
Callie Sue (Sue for my husband’s mother)
Lyndie Sue<\/p>\nAnd…. that’s about all we’ve got! We’re definitely coming up short this time around. Can you help??<\/p>\n
P.S. Our last name rhymes with Yarns.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
If you DO continue with J names, here are some possibilities:<\/p>\n
Joely Elena
Jorie Emeline
Josie Ellis
Joy Emerson
June Ellery<\/p>\nIf you DON’T continue with J names, here are some possibilities:<\/p>\n
April Sue
Cara Sue
Claudia Sue
Ellis Joan
Holly Sue
Laurel Sue
Libby Sue
Marissa Joan
Molly Sue
Robin Sue
Romy Sue
Sukie Joan<\/p>\nAnd what I want most to know is whether everyone thinks they should stick with J names or not, so let’s have a poll over to the right. [Poll closed; see results below.]<\/p>\n
Poll results<\/span> (190 votes total):
Stick with J names: 125 votes, roughly 66%
Switch to another letter: 65 votes, roughly 34%<\/p>\nName update 10-02-2009!<\/span> Jill writes:<\/p>\n
Just a quick update on our JEB dilemma….<\/p>\n
We decided not to go with another J name and named our daughter Callie Sue. She was born 09-08-09!<\/p>\n
Thanks for the help,<\/p>\n
