BABY NAMES, what are your faves?

I highly doubt that my DH & I will have children - it seems that everytime we decide to try, we hear that high-pitched scream that only a child under 3 can make - but he has informed me that any children will have names that start with the letter J. This is not going to happen.

My family does the First Name/Surname-That's-About-To-Die-Out/Last Name for much too long to mess with that now! John is the only J name I can handle - and it's been in every generation, as far back as we can trace until the current one.

So, we will probably have bichons with very formal names!

All three kids in my family have J names, it's not so bad

I have 2 friends who have heavily-J-named families (one includes a dog named Joey). I don't think it's that bad/annoying to have a bunch of names with the same first letter unless 1) the last name also started with that letter or 2) the names sound too similar.

Fake Examples:
Johnny, Jason and Jessica Smith - cute
Laura, Laurel and Leah Larson - please don't

My ex was part of a J family. Joel, Jim, Jeri, Jeff and John and it didn't seem to bother anyone.

My high school boyfriend was in a family of J's, and I have dozens of J names from my past that are unpleasant.

Then I met this redneck family whose father was John. The kids were John, Jr., Johnna, Johnette, Jon, Jonathon, and Johnella. It made me long for a John Boy!

I also know a family of Js. Three boys - Jacob, Jared, and Jonah.

Seems that J is a popular letter.
