Brother for Naomi

[MrsMichelRouxJr]

So...we found out we're having a boy but finding it so hard to find a name DH and I both love.

Names I love but can't use are:
Henry
William
George
Noah
Oliver
James

DH suggestions:
None!

Possible short list:
Harry
Alexander
Joseph
Jacob
Daniel

Any opinions on these gratefully received - also any other ideas for names that go with Naomi??

Thank you!

Campbell

But seriously, Harry goes nicely and also, what about Benjamin/Ben?

My husband also volunteered many vetoes and a blank suggestions list so I feel for you.

Naomi is so beautiful...hmm, maybe Hugo or Jack?

Good luck.

Thomas

Reuben popped into my mind. Definitely something biblical.

Eli
Joseph
Daniel
Seth
Jonathan?

[HainaultViaNewburyPark]

All the names on your shortlist are nice. I particularly like Joseph.

Other suggestions:
David, Edward, Giles, Isaac, Jasper, Levi, Paul, Robert, Simon, Wilbur

[celtictoast]

I like all the names on your shortlist, although I'd use Harry as a nickname for Harrison (as you can't have Henry).

Leo
Samuel
Aidan
Ethan
Tristan
Edward
Theodore/Theo
Matthew
Saul
Vincent
Zachary
Charles
David
Isaac
Luke

Jonah

Ethan
Fraser
Seth

I'm considering Naomi if bun is a girl. DS is Jonah.

[SmugairleRoin]

How about Laurence or Ezra?

Your shortlist are all nice names, my favourites are Daniel and Joseph. Just that bit more unusual these days!

[helentheheron]

I like all of yours except Daniel (which I strongly dislike but can't figure out why ).

As pps have suggested, Ben(jamin) and Jack are both lovely names which seem to fit your style. Jack could be a nn for Jonathan if you prefer to do the full name on bc thing.

Reuben
Naomi and Reuben. No idea why. It just seems the best fit in my head.

[RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie]

Naomi and Jacob nice but not v exciting. Not loving any of your other suggestions, sorry.

I have a Naomi. Had dc2 been a boy we'd have gone for one of:
Naomi and Rowan
Naomi and Asher
Naomi and Benedict
Naomi and Barnaby
Or, had it been up to me entirely and had dp not hated them! Thaddeus or Barnabus.

Love Naomi and Simon/Simeon.
Naomi and Luke
Naomi and Abraham
Naomi and Bartholomew

[RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie]

Yes to Laurence.

[MajesticWhine]

I like all the names on your short list. I especially love Joseph and Daniel. Both lovely with Naomi too. Reuben would be a bit more unusual and going with your Hebrew / Old Testament tendency.

[EmmaWoodlouse]

My first thought for some reason was Samuel. I like all the names on your possible short list but think Jacob, Joseph and Daniel might go best with Naomi.
