Meet Jake, Justin, Jake, Jordan, Joe, Jackson, Joe, Jim, Josh & Jimmy. I don't know what it is about J names in my family. I mean, I know I've always loved J names... but it's just weird that so many other people in my family do, too. I have 2 cousins who also named all 3 of their kids J names. It wasn't planned. Seriously. No really - we didn't know... Joe (big guy in the middle there) is my cousin. Until he and his family moved here about 4 years ago, I hadn't seen him since I was 12 and before that since I was 4, I think (and I don't remember that time). His boys are named Joe (after him), Jake & Jimmy (after Uncle Jim who is on the far right). Joe's brother is Chris - who is Jordan's dad. Add Josh to that and you've got 10 J's on Dad's side of the family.
On Mom's side - you've got her sister, Judy & Judy's daughter, Jodi. There's also mom's cousin Jeffery (he has kids who very well may be J names, too, but I have no proof right this minute - lol). Her older brother Ron's oldest son Ron's 1st 3 kids are Jay, Jennifer & Justin... all born around the same time that my Justin & Jake (Jacob) were born (and I had no idea that his Jay's name is really Jacob!). Then Jodi's sister, Shannon, had daughter Jordan and Jodi had James (he goes by Trevor but his first name is James.) My Jackson came next, then a few years later cousin Andrea married Jason and they had Jonathan. If you include my 3 and Josh again - that's 13 J's on Mom's side.
Hmmm...so, by age... Uncle Jim, Judy, Joe, Josh, Jodi, Jeffery, Jason, Joe, Jake, Jay, Jimmy, Jennifer, Justin, Justin, Jake, Jordan, Jackson, Jordan, James, Jonathan. We don't have any Jills, Jeremys or Jessicas... I don't think. I bet if I looked hard enough I could find them, though!! :)
