Potentially teaseworthy?

My husband and I are expecting our little girl in September. So far, we have somewhat of an idea for a first name (But aren't referring to the baby by it as it is always subject to change in upcoming weeks or when she's born). For the middle name, I've toyed with Jade, Jay, Jo...I'd really like something that starts with a "J" (Preferably one syllable, also) because the initial is popular in both of our families (Not to mention, James is my husband's middle name and is a HUGE name on both sides). Jo is my sister's middle name, among other things.

One problem, however, with "Jo"...Our last name is King. I didn't realize it at first, but my mother brought it to my attention. Jo King. Joking.

My first question is: If I hadn't mentioned the "Joking" issue, would you have noticed? Throw a first name (Any first name, really) in front and say it out loud a few times. What do you think?

Second question. If we used James as a middle name on a girl...Is that a bit much? It's very popular...Just not for females. I wouldn't want it as a first name because I'm not a fan of "Jamie", but for a middle name? I can't decide. I like it, but then I start to think it may be a bit much, but then I start to think that there are always WORSE names than that, so...Again, what do you guys think? I'm not thinking too seriously about this part, but...it's always nice to keep the options open. :)

OoO I forgot about Joelle! I considered it a few months ago, but forgot about it. I'll have to ask the hubby about that one. :) Thanks!
