Ok. For a girl, I like the name "Dayspring" both because it sounds nice and I really like the only Dayspring I've ever met. For a boy, "Emmanuel"; you have to say this one out loud to get the full effect: "Emmanuel Jones". It's perfect-- it has this gentle, creative tone, but it still sounds like he could meet you out back and take care of business if necessary. And they're both Christological in a non-intrusive kind of way, which is nice...
Just a quick Hebrew check:
Does Emmanuel mean 'God is with us', or simply 'God with us'? If it's the former, then it's one of those great statement-about-God names. If it's the latter, it would appear to be a claim of deity, which is kind of intrusive (yet admittedly suggestive of a man who can take care of business in the back alley, and I ain't talking about urinating).
"Josh"
The question mark random name generator gave me Matthew Isaachar Jones. I guess that settles it, but if it is a girl, I really like the name Dayspring (not in jest). Coye may be on to something.
Also, I'm about 85% sure that Emmanuel means "God with Us" rather than "God is with us."
I don't know about Dayspring - I like it, but... too hippie. Remember we're talking about a conservative New England family here. What about Carolyn? Carolyn Jones! And for you hippie-lovers, spell it with a K.
Vermont is hippie homeland. Go Jesus People!
"Jhosch"
How about Emmanuel Lummy Jones.
lummy or glubby. good, strong, glorbulous middle names.
I would like to see something from the Wild West. How about something such as Wyatt Jones or Morgan Jones?
Well, Adam, I have my doubts about Dave fitting the "conservative New England" label, but if you must have a mainstream name, we can do better than Carolyn. I think Katherine or Emily are much better, and I know that Kate and Em are a lot better than Carol. I still think "Dayspring" is the way to go, but maybe something like "Emily Dayspring Jones". And it's a scientifically proven fact that people who go by their middle names are better human beings. Unless that name happens to be glorbulous. Oh, and here's one for Dusty: Jesse James Jones. I'm kidding, of course.
I would like to read the studies that prove that, Coye. Kindly cite them for the group..... We're waiting...
i'm a fan of Mephibosheth. works great as a guy or a girl, even though it is originally a guy's name. but in this day and age, who cares!? and you can call the kid M. Jones. i just like the sound of that.
Andy, actually, Coye does have scientific back-up here. I know, I was incredulous at first too, but after some research I snagged this article that I have posted on my site at www.verdack.com/dave/web-content/fact.htm
Check it out!

Dave, this is outstanding research. Perhaps we could get Dr. Kaos to guest-contribute to the blog...
I know. Sarah and I are actually thinking of naming our son or daughter Doctor Kaos Jones after this amazing man of letters.
And you doubted me, Andy. Shame, shame. You know that I'm a serious academic and wouldn't dream of straying from textual evidence.
"Doctor Kaos Jones": that has potential...
