Standard French would be pronounced almost like Jon. This is Sean, with a J instead.

I DIDN'T know this, genuinely just thought it was Timothy with a J. Clearly I should have googled the name. Again, it will not be the name on his birth certificate. - OP

Don't want to give away personal info, but it would be Jambothy. DD1 already has my name as her middle though, and we're not interested in reusing it. -OP

Also, Junior itself is a standalone name. You could name him that.


Is he a fan of Finnegan's Wake?

I guess I'm just caught up in the excitement of finally having a boy! A chubby little Jimothy would be so adorable, but I can understand why some of you are against it.

Thanks to those of you who offered actual input.


Pretty good trolling OP.

I know this is supposed to be Timothy but with Jim instead of Tim, yet I keep reading it Key & Peele substitute teacher style as "Jim-OH-thee." That could also work.

We named my first DD after both of her (then) recently passed grandmothers – Mary and Esther – Masther, or Mas for short. She has never dealt with any bullying and really loves her name. So: you do you, OP! But if you're only doing it to stick with the J names, don't.




Are you a troll? Oh please God Oh please tell me you are a troll. Because this is gold.

These babies will grow up and become autonomous adults who will not reside in their sibling orbit for all time. You do not need to coordinate your kids names into some cursor pattern. If you want to do it, fine, but please realize this is not necessary and will likely have no impact on your family dynamic or enjoyment of each other.


My brother and I are Matthew and Michelle. Our dog was Micki. It was fine as children and it's fine as adults. We had a couple of "I think this is your mail; no this is definitely YOUR mail" incidents, but it's no big deal.

It gets worse when it's higher numbers. I knew a family that was Debbie, Diana, Donna and David. Dad was Dick. Mom of course doesn't matter in these creepy families, so her name didn't begin with a D.


Every year, Doug Kammerer comes to the school where I work and always incorporates the story of his four brothers and his father (and him) all having D names. His mother is (Berna)Dette.
