Ask A Jonas – Do The Kids Like Their Unique Names?
We get asked lots of questions when we’re doing farm tours, selling soap at craft fairs, or simply running errands. Since most of those answers are heard only by the person who asked, we decided to share some of the common questions here on the blog. And of course you can ask a question of your own!
Jonas Kids, what is it like having such unique names? Do you like it? ~Kim
Brett: I love my name. The only downside is when everyone thinks that I’m a guy, because my name is typically a guy name. We’ll get emails saying that “Brett is such a nice young man, I’m so glad he signed my invoice” and stuff like that. It’s kinda funny, most of the time. So are the ways people spell my name. I’ve seen it spelled Britt, Brat, Bratt, and my personal favorite, Bertt. But I do like that I’m the only Brett that most of my friends know. It’s not like some other names – for instance, I know four Josh’s. That’s confusing! LOL
Colter: I never really saw my name as unique – I mean, I know it’s not your normal John, or Josh, or something like that. I don’t normally get confused with other people,which is nice. I enjoy having a different name.
Emery: I’ve never really thought about it being unique. I know of three other guys named Emery, so it just doesn’t seem too different. They don’t all spell it the same way I do, but they all sound the same. I don’t know anybody with the name “Bob” so that seems more unique than Emery.
Fletcher: It’s really nice having a different name, because even though I’m mixed up with Emery and Greyden, my name is always different, and people can learn the difference. It’s really fun having a unique name because then if you find someone else with the same name, it’s really cool.
Greyden: I’ve never met somebody with my name. It is kind of cool when people say it is a cool name. My name was the only one not in the 1000 Baby Names book. And it is spelled with two “E”s.
Hewitt: I think it’s cool that I’m the only Hewitt I’ve ever met in my entire life and I think it’s cool that most of my family hasn’t met anyone else of their names. I like having my name, but sometimes I wonder what it would be like if I had a different name. I just think it would be strange, to have a different name. I like it, that Mom and Dad called me Hewitt.
Indigo: It’s really fun, having a name that no one else has, and I have a really cool name. The best thing about it is that my name is my favorite color – purple! Most people don’t have their favorite color as their name.
Jade: I think it’s cool, in a way, that everyone pretty much knows my name and it’s really cool that all of my siblings have names that no one has met anyone else with that name. I have not met another Jade, which is very cool, but Indigo and Emery have met other Indigo’s and Emery’s. So it’s really cool that I get to be the only one that I’ve met.

My daughter and I both have unusual names (though mine is more an unusual spelling). It’s always bothered Joy that the only time she can find personalized items (name tags, etc) is at Christmas! LOL!

We’re used to that phenomenon! PJ
