kellyanne06 Posted 21-10-15Hi ladies Just wondering what do ye all think of the name CJ for a boy. The 2 names we like are christopher and James for a boy. While I slightly prefer the name James , my grandfather's name was christopher and would love to call a boy after him. So we taught of Christopher James or CJ for short but we can't decide if we like it 😁 What do ye think ?? XxOriginal poster's comments (2)

StaceyLou85 Posted 21-10-15My son is Carl James and often called CJ, I love it x
missbolan Posted 21-10-15CJ works, if you like it go for it!Just a tip for you though, when you go to register the birth of the baby if you tell them it's 'CJ' short for 'Christopher James' you won't be allowed to register with just the initials, you'd have to register as Christopher James and then just shorten it yourself (like a nickname). However if you definitely want the name 'CJ' you will have to tell the registrar it's not short for anything.(im telling you this as a registrar, initials are allowed only if they aren't short for anything!)
MelissaM2701 InactivePosted 21-10-15I like it! My partner wants JJ short for jay-jay xAdvertisement | page continues below
kellyanne06 Original PosterPosted 21-10-15Ya id register the baby as christopher James n we would just call him cj ourselves. Some days I love it others I'm not so sure !
BigMommaHen Posted 21-10-15I don't like 'CJ' as a name, but I like it as a nickname short for initials - love the Christopher James combination x
cCazzymommabear Posted 21-10-15I'm calling my little boy Cayleb Jay. Even tho I'll most like call him by his full name he will have the option to be called cj for short.
Kelsy24 Posted 21-10-15My little boys initials are CJ he's not called it by anyone like but I wouldn't mind if he was, especially if the name means something to you xxx
donnasboysx Posted 21-10-15We hAve a CJ and I love it He's Craig junior but we call him CJ and always have ever since I brought him home They call him Craig at nursery and it was a little confusing for him at first having always been called CJ but now he is getting to understand he is Craig but we call him CJ for short X I absolutely love his name X
nNat13jan Posted 21-10-15Christopher James is lovely, not sure about CJ x
kellyanne06 Original PosterPosted 21-10-15I like christopher James as the full name but he'd end up being called just christopher and then over time probobly shortened to Chris. So for us both to get the name we wanted we were thinking cj as a shortened name. I'm just not sure. Mayb when we c baby we will know ?
