Baby Boy Names

How about

Jake Andrews

Jonathan use the father's middle name?

Jonas

Joaquin

Jordan

Julian

from S., mother of a 2yr old toddler

here are some names for example:

Justin Alexander
Jonathan Amadeus
Jason Andrew
John Abraham
Jacob Aaron
Julian Anthony
Joshua Alan

My favorite boy's name is Jared but I don't think I would pair it with an A name since most A names start with the same short "a" sound in Jared and I think it sounds too "rhymey." If I had to work with JA, I'd likely pick Justin Alexander or Joshua Aaron.
Good luck and happy naming

James Anthony, Jaden Alexander

The possibilities are endless... Whatever you decide, I recommend you wait until you see his little face in person. Sometimes the name you had planned just isn't it when you see him and talk to him. He may tell you something totally different altogether.

Congratulations and good luck.

Julian Alexander
I love both those names, my son is named after his father and about 3 generations before him (all Johns)

Good luck

Hi A.,

Another "J" name that no one else has mentioned yet is Justin.

Best of luck to you and your hubby!

-Jen

My son's name is Jory

Nobody mentioned Jacob! I went with biblical names as did ALL my in-laws and siblings. They are classic, enduring and pretty much bully-proof.

John
Jonathan
Joseph
James
Jaimie
Jeff
Joshua
Jeremiah

Allen
Alexander
Abraham
Aiden
Arthur
Anthony
Aaron

This is the fun part.
Best Wishes!

That is really neat that you want the same initials. My son has my husbands first name as his middle name. As it turned out (not planned) all of my children's first names start with the middle initial of the one before them. I have Ryan Jonathon, Julia Claire and Caitlyn Danielle. I am really in trouble if we decide to have a 4th, because I can't find a name that starts with D that I like. I think finding a name is the hardest thing to do for a child. they will hae it their whole life. It is really hard now with the what I call "fad" names. some of them are great for kids, but not for adults. I am partial to the old time names. here are a few suggestions.
Jonathan Andrew
Jason Anthony
Jake Aaron
James Alxander
John Alexander
Jeffrey Adam
It is all a matter of taste. try looking back at family members and see if you can come up with a name from either of the families. Even if there was a female in either of your families that ment a lot to you can find the masculine version of their name. sometimes using a family name or a version of a family means a lot to the family and it makes the name more special. My older daughter's middle name is after my grandmom and my grandmom still cries everytime she hears my daughter's name.
Good Luck!!

Dear A., It is all in the name. Think of what attribute and image you want your son to follow. In the Bible you have many names of man who stand up for what is right and good. Your son will follow and be guided by his name all his life. Also others will associate him with his name. Love, B.

A.,

You can request all the names you want, but sometimes, you just get the first glimpse of your baby, and say: That's not you at all! :)

For what it's worth: Joshua Alexander.

Good Luck!

Joseph Andrew..that's my dad.

But since I'm A. and my husband is Joe, we did use A & J in the kids name's somewhere.

We were also going to do Alexander Joseph, if we ever had a boy...no luck!

Good luck to you! ~A.

My son's name is Jacob Alexander. I love that name.

Skimming the earlier posts, I don't think I noticed Judah, Joel, Jeremy, Jeremiah, Jeffrey, and Jedediah (I'm not sure how that is usually spelled). I did notice, though, that many J names have standard nicknames. If you have strong negative feelings about the nickname, you might want to avoid the name. We didn't take that advice with our own son, but it was more important to us to name him after his great-grandfather.

I remember seeing Andrew and Alexander several times. There must be more good A names than just those. I'm mostly familiar with the (transliterated) hebrew names: Adam, Abraham, Aaron, Ari, Ariel (a boy's name in hebrew). Given that it will be a middle name, you could always have fun with it and go with something like Aramis.

The best advice, though, that I ever came across for baby names was this: Once you've picked a name, go to the back door and yell the name six or seven times. If you still like the name, it's a good name for your kid. I always laugh at that one, but it's so true.

Good luck.

I love this question!! I had a great time picking out my daughter's name Sofia Renee. John Anthony, Jason Adam, James Andrew , Jeffery Aidan, Jeffery Alexander Here are also some J and A names so you can mix and match.
Joseph, Jamie, Jake , Jacob,Jaron, Jared, Jay, Jimmmy, Jeremy, Jordan. Aaron (my fav boys name) Adrian,Alec, Andy, Arthur, Austin, Avrey. Have fun and let us know what you pick!

M. :)

I like Justin Alexander.

jayden anthony, julian aiden, joseph adrian

How about Jared? I heard that name the other day.. and WOW it sounds so nice... How about jared andrew or Jared Anthony.... Sounds so nice.. hope you like it.. or the best one yet.. JARED AUSTIN... that sounds so Lawyer like.. with a name like that your child will go far...

When we were having a boy.. I couldn't find many names I likes.. I only found the ones that started with J.. that I really loved. We named our son Justin Lee. Justin is a wonderful name. How about Justin Alexander or Justin Andrew.. they sound like someone who will go far in life.. like maybe a Lawyer... I also love Jake, John Anthony, John Andrew, James Andrew ..... I hope you love these names too.. Your baby will be wonderful with whatever you pick. Good luck.. and let us know what you choose when the big day comes... one other James Austin - sounds like a strong name.

Hi there,

My son is 3 1/2 months old and we named him Joseph Anthony.

Just a thought, congratulations and I wish you the best in the rest of your pregnancy.

K.

How about

Jackson Alexander?

Jacob Adam Jacob Aaron Jacob Aidan

Hi A.,

My husband and I scanned lists of hundreds of names on the internet. In the end, we chose the one we already had in mind but the lists reassured us that we had our favorite.
It helped to choose the name early to have time to sit with it awhile.

Good Luck :)
T.

My son's name is Jude Lawrence. He gets compliments on his name constantly. Few boys have it, so that makes me happy.

Hi A.,

I love the name Jaden Alexander I wanted Jaden Christopher for my son but his father wanted to name him after his brother David so its David-Christopher. Good Luck! :)

How about Justin, James or Jesse? Allen, Aymon, Austin?

my boys are names James and Joseph

James Anthony -my favorite
James Aidan
Joshua alexander
Jack allen
jordan

good luck, i always felt this was the hardest part!

Dear A.,

I think it depends on the style of names you like. Here are a few suggestions, based on different naming styles:

Classic: James Andrew
Sporty/trendy: Jackson Archer
Biblical: Josiah Asher
Artsy: Jasper August
Espanol*: Joaquin Amadeo

I know this is a language, not just a style, but I didn't want to just list English-language names....

Best of luck with everything! Email me if you want more suggestions.

CONGRATS!!! How about Jordan Andrew

Well, there are alot of great names for J....Jordan, Joshua, Jason, Jayden, Jonathan, Jackson, Jacob to name a few of my favorites....as for an A middle name, it depends on how it roles with whatever first name you pick but I like Alexander or Andrew with most of the ones i mentioned above. Try to pick something that is a strong name, one that you can see yourself calling your son as he grows older. Good luck!

Go with the classics... john or james and maybe andrew??

OK, here we go...
MY daughter is named JORDAN which is a unisex name and anyone we meet has a BOY named Jordan (go figure!!)

Jacob/Jake has always been a favorite!!

Aidan was a name we liked also as we wanted something unique but at the same time not "way out there" !!!

You don't mention if there are religious, ethnic backgrounds to consider...

There are websites that I visited with my 3rd (named Evan!) and found names I never heard of that flowed very nicely!!

Good luck to you :)

Hi A.,

My son's name is Jeremy. I also like Jackson, Jaden, and Jason (or Jacen).

Did you ever consider using Angel for a middle name? I'm just asking since it's part of your name.

Congratulations on your healthy pregnancy. Good luck with your decision. A name is so important. I'm sure you'll choose what's right for your little man.

My son's name is Joshua Alexander. It's funny that someone wrote that exact name in one of your responses. :)

A., take a look at this website: http://www.babynamewizard.com/voyager
You can select "BOY" and then type in the first letter. It will then show you all the options for that letter and how popular a particular name was over the last century.
Good Luck!
Ellie

Our son is Joseph Anthony...but we also thought of Jason.
Good luck!
J.

Hi A.-Congratulations! What about the name Jake Anthony for your baby boy?

Hi! My one son is named Jason Andrew so I have to say I am partial to that name. He was named after his father too. My other son's name came from taking family members names we like and just changing them a bit to a name we both liked. Even though we had ideas of what names we wanted, I still got a baby names book that gave me all of the names and meanings and that actually helped too.

Funny, we named our son the same initials as my husband! And my daughter's initials are the same as mine!

I am not really into trendy names, but here are a few suggestions:
My father is John Anthony
I also like James Allen (Alan), Joseph Andrew, Jack Alexander (or any combination you might like)

Yo may decide after you see him. That's what I did with both my children.

Good luck and Congratulations!
J.

Hi,

Jake Alan
Jacob Andrew
Jonathan Aaron

C.

Give him the same name. the II, JR.

one "j" name i love is Jonah since it means peace. i also like adam for "a".

you should definitely use the internet as a source. just type in baby names and you'll get a whole slew of sites.

i hope the pregnancy cont. to go well!

If you're stillnot sure, go onto the social security website, there is a part that lists baby names by the most popular for each year, this way you can decide how popular of a name you want as well.

I thought the name James Adam. I don't know... it just came to me. I don't know what the dad's name is but it is a thought.

Hello A.,

Congratulations! awsome!
how about
Jason Alexander
~Carmen~

How about Jayden Anthony. (My son's name is Jayden lol :). )

I love Josiah for a first name, "a" is difficult but maybe Aaron?
Good Luck
LeeAnn

Lots of great suggestions already! We named our love bug Jesse. :-) It's not as common and it just is a very cute name with some masculinity - Jesse James... LOL.

Good Luck!!!
S.

Enjoy your time alone together now. And good luck with your baby boy!!!

My son's name is Joshua Aaron. Not sure if this gives you any direction but we also thought of the names Jacob and Jordan for a boy.

I don't know what your last name is, but James Alexander sounds nice to me.
