My coworker and I made an interesting discovery recently--most names that are just initials include the letter J. TJ, JJ, JD, DJ....the only name I could think of without a J was DW, the little sister from "Arthur." Seriously though, can you think of any, sans J?
This is so strange. Why don't people enjoy names that start with J enough to use the full name? Do that many people have parents or grandparents with J names that they want to pass on, but wish to avoid confusion?

Poor little J names! I'm sure they just want to be out where all the other names are--on office party name tags, cheesy birthday cards, or spelled out in balloons. Instead, they are shortened to only one letter and squished against another one. What a dang shame. I, for one, really like several J names. For instance, Josh, Jamie, Jordan, John--those are good, solid names! But alas, they don't always see the light of day.
Shout out to the forgotten J names: you still matter on the important stuff like driver's licenses and birth certificates! And to those with a J initial name, we still like you, it's cool.
