Neither name thrills me. Names that start with a jay sound that I really like are Jamin, Jacob, and Jason (especially Jamin). However, since the choices are Justin and Jadon, my vote goes to Justin, although I prefer Justus or Justice and it's hard for me to get the nn Jay from any of them.

---

I'd pick Jadon

---

How about Jason?

Between the two, hands down I'd pick Justin.

---

Justin isn't my favorite "J" name by any means but I like it many times more than Jadon (however one chooses to spell it). Some male names beginning with "J" that I like include:

---

Jeremiah
Jeremiel
Jeremias
James
Job (though I think a nickname for this is entirely unnecessary)
Jason
Jeffrey
Jefferson
Joseph

---

The only problem I can see is that most of those have very well established nicknames already: Joe for Joseph, Jeff for Jeffrey, and so on. So just starting with a J might not be enough to convince someone that Jay would make an optimal nickname. Jason and James, though, make sense to me.

I prefer Justin to Jadon; the latter is a perfectly good name, but anything with that -adon/-aden/-adin ending is really popular right now, and I bet he'll be running into quite a few boys and girls his age with a very similar name. If that bothers his parents, they should reconsider.

---

I know a Joseph nicknamed Jay. Really, anything that begins with the letter J would give them that nickname.

Jadon is trendy, but I prefer it to Justin by a long shot. I've never cared for the name Justin, and I've met quite a few jerks named Justin.

I agree with you - I like Justin better than Jadon, but I'm not fond of either.

---

Some other names, maybe they'll like them (not that I do :-). . .

---

Jabez
Jabin
Jack/Jackson
Jacob
Jacobo
Jacobi
Jacques
Jaime/Jamie/Jamey
Jake
Jalen
James
Jamison
Jared
Jareth
Jaron
Jarrett
Jasper
Josee
