We are naming our baby boy Elijah... but need a middle name...?

Question

I really wanted to name my son after my mother, her middle name is Jo. I wanted to name him Elijah Joseph... but my husband's sperm donor father has the middle name of Joseph. Anyone have any other middle names that would have Jo in it? I was thinking about Joby (pronounced jo-bee), but it is really unique. Any suggestions or advice? His last name is Johnston.

Answer 1

To be honest, I don't like a Jo- name with the last name Johnston.  I love that you want to honor your mom, though.  

What about Elijah Jonas?

Josiah is really sweet.
