Hmmm. Has she considered
Jolyon, nn
Jon? That's a character's name and nn in "The Forsyte
Saga." The cast pronounce
Jolyon with a long "o" sound, but the nn is definitely short, as in
Jon /
John.
In an attempt to distract her with shiny objects, how about suggesting these instead of
Jonquil:
Justus,
Carsten,
Kendall,
Quentin,
Cavan (short "a" as in
Gavin),
Gavin,
Garvan,
Tarquin,
Torquil,
Redmond,
Tighe,
Ronan,
Rowan (another plant name),
Heath,
Rainer,
Stellan,
Kester,
Dashiell.
