| DH wants to name baby Claude James... not really seeing Claude work so well as a little boy’s name. Is CJ awful as a nickname? What does it evoke for you when you hear it? Pls be honest! |

The first thing I think of is the kid is a junior and they don't want to be confused OR kid doesn't like his first name. |

| I know several many CJs. It is almost like the initial names are rising in popularity? I know a Carol Jane, "CJ", and a boy "CJ", unsure of the names. |

| I like initial nicknames. But Claude is a really dreadful name, OP. Clawed to death. |

| I don’t like using initials as nicknames. No to CJ and Claude. |

Why Claude?
Is it a family significance? Is there some special reason for this name? Personally, I don’t like it and it seems like you don’t either if you’re trying to find ways around using it. Make sure you like your kids name - not just tolerate it - you’re going to be hearing it for the rest of your life! |

Yes, important mentor/personal hero of my husband’s. I don’t love the name but I don’t hate either. We still have time to keep discussing it. One option is to do James Claude instead, but I worry James is too common although I do like the name. We’ll see! |
