40 beautiful ‘J’ names that would suit your January newborn

Happy New Year!

We can’t believe that 2025 has actually arrived. With the New Year off to a whirlwind start already, we’re looking forward to the future – more specifically, all of the little ones that will be welcomed throughout this month!

In our opinion, January is a wonderful month to be born – celebrating the arrival of a baby brightens up this rather dreary time of year. However, with our minds drained from the hecticness of Christmas, it can be difficult to think of the perfect name for your incoming January arrival.

So, if you’re on the hunt for some inspiration, why not look towards January itself? Below, we have curated a list of 40 gorgeous baby names all beginning with the letter J, in honour of the first month of the year.
