Name my baby for me!

Is it bad that I really don't care what my kid's middle name is? Seems like we should pick something meaningful but I got nothing. Just needs to start with J for potential nickname "EJ" someday. Suggestions welcome.

I like James.
My DD is an EJ.
I didn't particularly care what DS' middle name was. We picked it in the hospital after he was born; DH just randomly threw it out there and I was like fine.

I like both, they're great choices can't go wrong with either.

I don't really care about MN either. We chose our kids' MN to honor family members, regardless of what the actual name was. So now our kids have the weirdest MN: Ylda (my aunt) and Neoka (DH's grandma)

I love Joseph, but both are good choices!

Thanks! We've been ruling out any middle names that end in "N." I just don't think it flows as well with Emerson. It's hard to come up with other J names that don't! I like Jonah too though...

Looks like your kids name is Emerson James. I expect to see the birth certificate to prove that you followed through!

LOL it's a landslide! We were leaning toward James initially. The only reason I threw Joseph out there is because I have a cousin named James and there are so far no Josephs on either side of the family. DH doesn't want anyone to think we named him after our dog (Josephine), but I don't want anyone to think I named him after my cousin. Oh well I guess he wins. I haven't seen or heard from that cousin in years anyway.

Seeing as I don't even have a first name picked for baby, you're way ahead of me!
