I have a dear friend who is pregnant with her first, and as tradition in her family, a baby must be named with the initials of the last person to pass away. She now has to figure out both boy and girl names with the intials of J.D. or D.J. and she hasn't a clue of what sounds good together. Last name is one-syllable G name.

For a boy she likes the names Jace and Douglas
For a girl she likes Jenna

but that's about all she's got so far. Any ideas that I can pass on to her? :)

Ha, my oldest daughter was going to be Jackson Daniel if she'd been a boy. I have loved the name Jackson since I was a little girl and Daniel is my husband's name. Then, a year after she was born, my cousin used Jackson for one of her twins. Name was thus off the table for future children. And now, I guess I'm glad because it's become so damn popular. And I have about five different friends who have sons named Jackson.

I hate DJ.... Makes me think of Full House. Sad, because my BF named her kid Dorian Josef and want him to be DJ. So far, it's Baby D, which works better, if you ask me.

I have a friend who's DJ. Her name is Donna Janice... which is a bit too 70s, probably.
I like:
Delia Jane
Daria Jane
Daphne Jane

Hmmm. Jane seems to be the only thing I can think of for a middle name.

Anyway, girls names I like with D: Delia, Daria, Daphne, Diana, Dana, Devon.

Starting with J: Jessica, Jennifer, Jane/Jayne, Josephine, Jacinta, Juliet/Juliette, Jade.

For boys starting with D: Daniel, David, Damon, Devon, Dylan, Deacon, Darcy, Dominic.

With J: James, Joseph, Jacob, Jack, Jonty (which can be short for Jonathan), Joshua.

That's about it. You could mix and match a few, I guess...'

Daphne Josephine, Diana Jane, Daria Jade, Jessica Devon, Dana Juliet, Daphne Jacinta...
Or for boys, Daniel James, David Joseph, Damon Jonathan, Jonty Devon, Jacob Darcy, Deacon Joseph, Dominic James....
