Names starting with J

Okay, I am sure to upset some people with this but it is meant as a bit of a joke.....

My sister always says that people whose names start with J tend to more ratbag like. She is a teacher so sees lots of kids obviously.

She also claims that it why I am a ratbag (or was) and why her son is as well because we both have J middle names.......(tho apparently not as ratbag, just half since only middle name)

Interestingly enough when I think of people who start with J, they invariably are ratbags (except one of my cousins who is soooo good it is not funny).

So what does everyone else think! Do you know lots of ratbag J's??    A

And remember - this is just a bit of a laugh!

Maybe its cause names starting with J are popular and there fore more likely to belong to ratbags.

There are a lot of Jo's and Joe's around - either from being Joanne/a or Joseph

Jason was a popular name when I was born and most of them I know are ratbags, loveable ratbags but trouble still the same.

If we have a son we want to call him James - and that name has been in the top 10 boys names for over 100 years. I also like its variants which I admit do sometimes belong to trouble makers - Jamie, Jim, Seamus, Jimmy.

I can think of a few girls names starting with J that well they've turned into little misses, Jenna, Jen, Jennifer, Jenny, Justine,

I'd imagine being a school teacher makes it difficult to find the right name for your child, as you'd come across a lot of difficult kids which would put you off their name.

our family tradition is that the middle name starts with J and is a family name - hence James and Jon. Don't know what to use with this one - another boy and we've got very boring faily trees cause we can't find another!
My boys are "busy" but I wouldn't change them for anything.

My sister, Jasmine...ratbag. But not in the typical sense of the word. She was more a troublesome child rather than the loveable rogue.

I went to school with a Joseph and a Jason. Both ratbags.

Worked with a guy named James (Jimmy), total ratbag!!!

My workmates daughter has 2 little boys, Joshua and Jonah. ratnags...especially Jonah! They keep threatening me that my baby will be just like him. LOL

But then I also find names like Riley, Brett, David and Mark all to be "ratbag" type names. My DP is a Mark, his dad is a David and my mum wants me to name a boy Riley. So will have a ratbag family.

One of our names is a J name...double barrel even - first and middle name I knew a few girls with the J name at school, but funnily enough, none of them were ratbags...

yes i think some of you hit it on the head with J being so commom. so the odds are high..lol

i do know alot of people who swear that some names have conotations to them,
if i had to chose it would be Matt...never met a good one.

OMG yes I so agree, I've never met a Matt that I liked.
I'm also put off by ex-bfs names depending on what they were like. Gosh so many things to think about when naming your children.

oh , i have , in fact there is a lovely one in Caitlyn's room , its pink and like the train mats you get for boys , but its all girly ....

ANnnnddd, my best mates brother is Matt and hes lovely

That got me thinking....and I know a few Matts. I do know one who is a nice enough guy, but hrmmm.....

My DP's name is Jacob and he's not much of a ratbag, though I hear he might have been a bit of a handful as a child - as a teenager and adult though he was pretty good (in my opinion anyway).

And the nicest, loveliest guy I've ever met in the whole world is named Matt... (well Matthew, but I'm guessing all the Matt's are Matthew's).

Just my two cents
