WDYT? Of initial names?

in Baby Names

My DH is set on Jake Travis as our boy name. He wants to call this boy, J.T. ....

What do you think of initial names? I can't say that I love it.

DH is set on Travis as the middle name, it has some significance with him and his father.

What other J names can you suggest that go with Travis as a middle name?

    I really like the name Jake (or Jacob) Travis, but I'm not a fan of calling him J.T.

    Thanks, Jake is okay. I guess I feel like it's a little too popular in the area I am in.

    I'm afraid of him having too many names for example: DH calling him J.T., me calling him Jake.... I don't want the poor little guy to be confused.

    I much prefer Jacob over the name Jake. Jake is a fine nn, but IMO isn't great as a full name. Other J names I like:

    Joshua, James, Julian, Jason

    I think inital names are cute esp. if the LO is a jr.  For example, DH is Kevin and so is his dad, so DH is called K.J. by his fam. 

    J names: Jake/Jacob/Justin/James/Jack/John/Jeffrey/Jay/Joseph

    Joshua
    Jamison
    Jackson/Jack

    Thanks for the input!

    DH is Jason, so I could grow to love a Jason Travis with a nn of J.T.

    I like it okay now that you pointed out the baby would be a Jr.

    If you need J name ideas watch 19 kids and counting on TLC.  :)  

    But I highly discourage the use of Jim Bob.  hehe

    This. I immediately assume that someone with an initial name (esp. an adult named like PJ or EJ) is WT.

    I'm not a huge fan of initial nicknames.  Why is your DH so set on calling him J.T.?

    If we have a boy, he'll be PJ (Paul Joseph) after DH. I like James better than Jake...

    We will have to set up a good ole' play date for PJ & JT.

    They can form a "Hick initial name support group".

    I have never thought it sounded "hickish". The more I think about it, I really like the idea of naming my boy after DH Jason Travis.

    Yee-Haw, I like PJ :)

    Lol, sounds good. We don't really have any initial names around here in NY, that's why I'm little confused about the WT connection. I am from the trailer park though, so I guess my roots are showing. :-)

    I haven't seen too many initial names here in GA either, and I do sort of live in the "country". I see names like the following, Dewayne, Beau, Wade, Horace, Cletus, and Bambi. Everyone is entited to their own opinions, and these are our babies.

    I dare someone to call my baby JT a hick.

    I'm not a fan of initial names either. I think Jake is really nice though.

    Not a huge fan of initial names.  I know I have J.B. on my ticker, but that's just because I'm paranoid and don't want to put his name out there when my last name is in my user name. 

    At least your LO will have initials that actually stand for something.  My FIL's name is J.B. and it stands for nothing.  His name is literaly two letters.

    I abhor initial names.  But to answer your question, Jake and Joshua are my favorite J names.
