My favorite boy names that my husband and I are trying to decide upon. I am pregnant with #1, 6 weeks. Only 34 more weeks to go!
  1. Jax

    • Origin:

      Modern invented name, English

    • Meaning:

      "God is Gracious"

    • Description:

      With its cool -X ending, Jax is an update on the classic nickname Jack, likely inspired by the rise of Jackson. It garnered attention in the US thanks to the game, Mortal Kombat II back in the '90s, and was pushed up the charts when it was used in the show Sons of Anarchy, in which Jackson "Jax" Teller is the central character.
  2. Jayden

    • Origin:

      Variation of Jaden or Jadon, modern invention, Hebrew

    • Meaning:

      "thankful"

    • Description:

      Reminiscent of 70’s favorite Jason, and sharing sounds with the perpetually popular James, Jayden is one of the more enduring members of the -ayden trend.
  3. Jordan

    • Origin:

      English from Hebrew

    • Meaning:

      "flowing down"

    • Description:

      Jordan became one of the top unisex baby names in the heyday of basketball's Michael Jordan, and is still among the most popular unisex names starting with J. The name was originally given to those baptized in holy water brought back by Crusaders from the River Jordan, the only river in Palestine, and the one in which Christ was baptized by John the Baptist.
