CJ for a boy - does it mean Junior?

glitterfish-2

I mentioned to my sister that we were considering a name, but would probably call the kid "CJ." She told me that Initial+J usually means "Junior" and it would be weird just as a nickname.
DH's name does start with C, but I was definitely not into a Junior!
Is this a fact??

No, my friend is Thomas James and goes by tj, I know a few girls that's go by dj aj and kj. I don't automatically think that j is for junior. Now I do know some that the j is junior like a friend's older brother is pj and his is a junior but not always lol

Most of the CJs, AJs, DJs..... I know are juniors, but I know a couple who aren't.

Any "letter" j person I know it's due to their first name middle name initials nothing to do with junior. Off the top of my head I know a Clinton James CJ, a Jonathon James JJ and a Adam Joseph AJ. Tell your sister she is weird

Plus Donna Jo on Full house = DJ

It would never even occur to me that the J might be for Junior. I would assume that it was the first initial of his middle name.

I only know a couple people who go by initial nns and they all have a middle name starting with J. I can see how it could work for a Jr too but that wouldn't be my automatic assumption.

I have known both, so I definitely wouldn't assume that he was a junior

My DH had a nickname from his mom that was CJ, based off initials. He was not a junior. Our LO will have an middle initial J. Someone may call him HJ, but only because of initials (since he won't be a junior).

perhaps I've heard the J as a representation of junior before, but I assume initials.

My brother is CJ based off his initials, nothing to do with Jr. You could do it either way if you wanted, it is just a nickname.

My sister is actually CJ... short for first name Candice last name J. I would not assume jr!

I would also assume it was an initial (middle or last) and wouldn't jump to junior. I don't think I know anyone who is a junior that uses the nickname that way.

Same as pp, I have known people who were juniors using this formula, but I have known more who were using their first and middle initial. I haven't known anyone using their first and last initial, but I'm sure it is done and it wouldn't seem weird to me at all.

My son is Aaron James and goes by AJ...no need for the J to indicate "junior"

Thanks everyone! My sister acted like I was stupid for not knowing it means Junior! She is a teacher so I figured she knew a lot more about names than me!
