Baby #4 (a boy) is due in April and we are at a loss for names this time. We would love for him to have the middle name Jay - after my dad. We are considering Nicholas or Alexander but neither have just seemed to "fit". His brothers and sister's names are Joshua Michael, Zachary Paul, and Katelyn Elizabeth. Obviously we are not against popular names - our last name is Thompson. Please give us some suggestions...

I like both Nicholas and Alexander with the mn Jay. Also, maybe Thomas, Timothy or Christopher. That way he could have his initials for a nickname...T.J. or C.J.

I like Thomas also, my brother is Thomas Jay, and I have tried to use Thomas before - but my last name is Thompson. So, I don't think I can used Thomas as either a fn or a mn.

:) I'm such a dork sometimes...I saw that you posted your last name and I still suggested it anyway...lol. I do love the mn Jay though, and for my boy name (due in July, so still not sure the sex of the baby), he'll have the initials J.C. So, I'm a fan of the initial nickname for boys, and Jay will be an easy one for that. Anyway, best of luck in choosing...by the sound of your other children's names...you and your hubby have great taste in names. :)

That's OK - for the longest time I thought I might use Thomas then "I" remembered what my last name was -- and I have been married for 13 years!!

What about Nathaniel? I like "Nathaniel Jay Thompson" and you can use the nn "Nate" if you're so inclined......

I love all three of your childrens names! Very cute! I tend to like popular names also.

Nicholas and Alexander are cute names but for some reason I am having a hard time placing with Joshua, Zachary & Katelyn. Out of the two I like Nicolas best.

I can see how you are having a hard time placing Jay as middle name. What about using Jason as a first name or middle name to honor your dad?
Nicholas Jason?

Other suggestions for first names
I picked names that you can use either Jay or Jason as mn to any (most do sound best with Jason)

Micah
Miles
Noah
Caleb
Erik
Evan
Chase
Benjamin
Caden
Samuel
Luke
Nathan
Ethan
Andrew
Colin
Travis
Braden
Connor
Matthew
OR
Jason Alexander

And those are just a few suggestions that I have! Hoped that any of them helped you.
