   We chose John because it is a family name. It’s also a classic, strong name

   I just liked the name, but my husband is a huge Tom Clancy fan. The protagonist in many of his books is Jack Ryan whose full name is John Patrick Ryan. Our John also goes by Jack, but his “government name” is John. I like the simplicity of the name, and we have a John Patrick in our distant family tree as well.

   John is a family name on my husband side, originally spelled Johan, from as far back as the 1500s. Same with John’s middle name Freidrich. I absolutely love his name ?

   We chose John because it is my Grandfather’s name who was more like a father to me growing up. My grandfather has a family name as well and I wanted to carry on the tradition.

    His real name John-Luca but they don’t have hyphenated names on this site. My husband was a bit worried it would be too long, but I reminded him that Theodore was 3 syllables (Our first son’s name.) We also had a little trouble finding a middle name. We really liked Randall but it sounds kind of similar to our last name. We settled on Noah, (Honestly it was the shortest name we liked.) So we ended up with John-Luca Noah Macaulay (insert last name) Our first son, Theodore was easier to find a name for and we knew we wanted Theodore Frank Macaulay (Insert last name.) So we were shocked about how hard it was to find a good middle name! With our youngest, my husband and I agreed that we would stick to our guns and we went with, George Henry Macaulay (insert last name) John-Luca’s name is defiantly my favourite out of their names and I’m glad we went with it.

    We like the meaning of John – God is gracious. John was born by VBAC but even before he was born we decided he would be John if a boy and Ruth if a girl. If a girl the middle name would have the idea of grace. So we mainly liked the idea of God’s grace in a name. John looks a bit English with lots of hair and long sideburns, so his name definitely fits!

    We chose the name John bc of the meaning behind it It means God has been gracious after John the Baptist in the Bible. He’s our rainbow baby after 11 years of trying to get pregnant and two miscarriages. We always felt like we were going to have a baby – it was the Lords promise to us. His full name is John Paxton Promise Nieper. All Gods promises are yes and amen!

    My husband and I were playing trivia on the way home from a wedding to stay awake on the drive, and one of the trivia questions was “what is the name of both the second and sixth president?” My husband didn’t know, so I quizzed him again “why do I know this random information?” It was because my name is Abigail – John Adams’s wife and John Quincy Adams’ mom. He said “we should name him John Quincy!” after months of trying to think of both a girl and boy name.
    John was born at home, unassisted, caught by his dad, and he has the most beautiful green eyes. His big brother loves him and he loves us too.

    Well I call him John Calvin which is his first and middle name. I wanted to name him after his father but also make his name all his own. I love how strong and powerful his name is, and I’m not just being biased. Everywhere we go people say they love how his name makes him sound like a really important person and it’s so strong.

    Our son is John III, so we chose it because it’s a family name. I can tell you that it will definitely be a good name when he’s a man, as people often think that I’m talking about my husband when I say his name and think that Jeffrey is our son’s name! haha

    This time we found out we were having a boy. Right away we knew his name would be John. He is named after my husband’s Grandpa John. My husband’s middle name is “E”. He wanted our son to have the same initials as him. So we had to come up with an “E” name. We both agreed and after praying about it, had confirmation on the name Emmanuel. John Emmanuel it is. We call him John E (Johnny) most of the time. My husband’s Grandma still calls his Grandpa “Johnny” and we think that is so awesome. Very special!
