If our child is a boy, we want to call him CJ, but his name would be Christopher ________. We can't decide on a middle name. I want it to be short, hopefully one syllable like Jay or Jake or James. James is just too traditional of a name and sounds like he'd be named after someone but there are no James in our families. What sounds good? Last name is two syllables, ending with -en, so a name like Jaden wouldn't work. Thanks for your suggestions!

My sister's baby is named Jack after my oldest sister Jackie. So, although it sounds cute, I wouldn't want to use it. I like Jude and Joel...

I definitely vote for Christopher Jude - that's just adorable. Both names flow together very well. It's also really very masculine and decisive sounding. Christopher Joel, Christopher Jay and Christopher Jake (which I love - I love using 'nicknames' as middle names, like Kate for a girl) also sound cool, but Jude just tops them all. The only other one syllable name I can think of is Jet - Christopher Jet would be cool too, but if you aren't into that sort of thing than Christopher Jude is definitely the best.
Good luck and congrats!
PS I think two syllables might work too, if the name is short enough - like Joel (technically two syllables - Joe-El) that's said so quickly it just sounds like 'Jole'. That's why it's kind of weird people are suggesting names like Jeffrey, Jason, and Jonas, where the syllables are clearly pronounced lol.

This web site

lets you pick names by starting letter, size, county of origin, etc. If you look at J names that are considered "English" names, you get a list of 200.
Good luck,
