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!

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.
