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.

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.

That is god-awful. It's like someone with a speech impediment trying to say "Master"

OP, your child will not feel left out if his name doesn't start with a J. My DH's older brothers were David and Daniel, and DH's first name was alliterative with the dog's name. He really doesn't care.
