Share Your Thoughts 1 Comment Kate Jun 2 at 8:01 am Gordon is our first, and about a week after he popped out, we found out we’re pregnant with twins. (This was 2011) We call him Gordy most of the time. We named the twins Jonathan and Jonah. a lot of people think we called him Jordan so we would have J J& J. We had a hard time finding middle names for each of them. We chose Gordon Thomas! Reply Share your thoughts on the name Gordon Cancel ReplyYour email address will not be published.
