Would this be ok?

barrjn84 · May 2010

DH and I both have names that start with a J. We named DS, Jack after DH's brother that passed away. So now we all have J names. We really would like to have 3 kids total and love the names Cora for a girl and Jude for a boy. DH said we can't use those though if we have another boy and a girl becuase Cora would be the only one without a J name. What do you think?

I think it would be fine. I also love the name Cora! What about having the middle name start with a J instead?

I'm confused....Jude starts with a J so why couldn't you use it? I love the name Cora but if you are all J already, I myself would lean towards another J. I would be afraid the child would feel left out one day...now that's just me. :-) I analyze way too many levels of a name.

Exactly this.

Yup! I agree!

I would wait and see what you have next. If its a girl, go with Cora and then see what you have next, maybe another girl! If the next is a boy then go with what you like... you may find another J girl name you like or a boy name thats not a J...

If you have a girl and name her Cora, maybe she'll feel special that she's the only non-J instead of feeling left out? Who knows! My sis hates her name because it's Christmasy (Holly). I don't think you can ever really imagine all scenarios of what a person will feel about their name. But I wouldn't go with a J just because, pick what you like!

I think it would be weird if everyone had a j name in a family except one. I personally would try to find a girl j name I liked.

GideonsMom · May 2010

If anything I think you should try to not pick J names, but you should pick names you like 1st and foremost.

Winter92 · May 2010

I would definitely still use Cora. You would be eliminating so many great names by only using J names, and I don't think that Cora would really care if she's the only one with a J name. Cora is an awesome name, too!

This. Me, my dad, and 2 brothers all have names that start with J's while my mom is Robin. While this is a little different, I always felt bad that it seemed like she didn't "quite fit" with the rest of us.

ETA: Although, if you name baby #2 without a J name, I would say not to go back to J's if you continue to have children after #2.

This.

go with the name you both love the most. if that happens to be cora, so be it.

MyColonyNJ · May 2010

Well, my daughter's name is Cora, so I say use that

Unless you are a dugger, I am sure most people don't even notice those types of things.

We have 2 bio children, and one on the way - they are both "C" names - never even thought about it.

I think it would be fine!

sunnyday016 · May 2010

I think it's totally fine.

bandwife928 · May 2010

I would not use any more J names. I don't like the over-the-top alliteration.

sleepingbeauty825 · May 2010

Name her Jcora.

Silent J obviously.

J+R · May 2010

I think that it would be fine

unless you have another name that starts with J that you like as much as Cora. Otherwise, I'd go with what you love and not focus on initials.

LMAO Too funny. Obviously!

danseusefrancaise · May 2010

This is exactly what happened with the Duggars!! lol

Personally, I would decide to go one way or the other - either all J's or no more J's, so there's no potential for one feeling left out.

procella_lamia · May 2010

I would be concerned she'd feel left out later. Perhaps a J name with mn Cora? You could even call her by the mn. Just an idea.

Would this be ok?
