Thoughts on John-Paul?

[Anonymous]

I am French. There are so many double names like these in France. They're cloyingly traditionalist - and not in a good way. All my relatives of my parents' generation have double names.

But if YOU like it, then sure.

All the John Paul/Jean Pauls I know go by JP

Also has whiff of JonBenet to me. Unless you're French or French Canadian, a double name with John seems an odd choice.

We are Catholic.

Then you should do it but I'd leave out the hyphen and just call John, which is a great name on its own. And that he's named after the pope is perfect. The lack of hyphen is how John Paul's name was styled (birtg name Karel, I believe). And that's a nice first name/middle name combo.

No, it will peg him as Catholic. It sounds like a Pope.

Pope

Another combination that is I love John Luke. I wish John Thomas didn't have a slang meaning, but it does.

I love John-Luke and hadn't thought of it. Thank you for the idea!

John Paul (or Juan Pablo) is super common for Latino UMC/rich sort of conservative types. It has a distinctive vibe so if you don’t want that, you might want to rethink it. For the funniest John Paul/JP, see:

This a thousand times.

I have a family member John Paul

and another John Fredrick

Once of the challenges with "Luke" is that some languages do not have the "L" and it is very challenging.

I love it! I would however skip the hyphen.

Love it!

Is he a pope? If not then no.

[Anonymous]

Don't recommend 2 names. It reads as higher than thou.

And Jean Luc nooo. Doesn't anybody remember the 90s general foods coffee commercial?

I would just make his first and middle names John and Paul and you can call him that. I would not do the hyphen as others have said and also agree Super Catholic, etc. I’m a conservative evangelical so totally used to Biblical names, but that’s a lot with the hyphen.
