Jordan for a boy?
| Wed, 04-19-2006 - 4:29pm |
My husband really likes this name and I like it as well but worry so many girls are named Jordan lately. Also, we both really like Olivia for a girl and wonder how Olivia and Jordan would sound as siblings?
We also like for a boy:
Ethan
Luke
Nicholas
Carter
John
Any thoughts or suggestions would be great.

Well, I knew a darling little boy named Jordan when I taught school...he was so adorable and the kind of boy who is going to be a ladykiller when he grows up! So, I'm biased, but I think it works for a boy as well as it works for a girl. Especially if you like a super feminine name like Olivia for a girl...I would respond differently if you were proposing Addison for a girl and Jordan for a boy (then, yes, it would be confusing). Of your other boys names, I like:
Luke
Nicholas
John
I actually like Luke better than Jordan by quite a bit, but if you guys love Jordan, there is nothing wrong with it.
I don't personally know anyone by that name, girl or boy. I know it's used for girls too but I can definitely see it on a boy.
Of the others I also like Ethan.
If you two really like Jordan I'd go with that name.

The name Jordan still seems like a boys name to me

I like Ethan and Olivia the best as well but dh is set on Jordan from the first day we found out we are expecting.
Thanks

I know a brother/sister named Jordan and Olivia! I actually babysat for them when I was in high school, and they were 3 and 1.5 at the time -- really great kids! They're now both in high school. I love Jordan for a boy, and I actually hate that it's being used on girls so much. I think it's a wonderful name and very strong. I thought Olivia was an interesting choice at the time, and I can't believe how popular it is now.
As for the other names on your list, I really like them all. My least favorite is probably Carter, but you can't go wrong with any of them.
Good luck!
