Jacob and Solomon?

[Wilkiepedia]

DS1 called Jacob

Would it sound shite if we had another boy and called him Solomon? I love the name but don't want to sound like a religios nut.

This is all hypothetical as not even pg yet...

[lemonstartree]

Jacob is a great name , so is Solomon. You go girl!

[Wilkiepedia]

Yes but would you laugh at me behind my back??

[MrsMattie]

Both great names.

[Hoonette]

How would you shorten Solomon? Or wouldn't you?

[Spidermama]

I'd prefer Sol. Solomon's a great name but it is kind of weighty.

[Wilkiepedia]

Sol - definitely

[Wilkiepedia]

Jacob is J or JJ

[Hoonette]

Then that sounds fine - I like it.

[MrsMattie]

Sol is a fab shortened version. I considered both names myself for DS.

[schneebly]

very cool - like Solomon Burke

[falcon]

I love Solomon and no I wouldn't care to shorten such a wonderful name.

[Dragonbutter]

I have a Sol.
I like solomon too, but thought it a bit religious for us. So he's just Sol or Solly.

[zippitippitoes]

both nice names

i like sol too
so go for it

[hippipotami]

No, I would not laugh behind your back. Both beautiful names.

In fact, the title caught my attention because two lovely little boys in dd's class are called Jacob and Solomon. They are best friends too, so for me the names already 'go' together if that makes sense.

[tortoiseshell]

Lovely names! And Sol is very cool!

[Dragonbutter]

[Heated]

Given you already have a JJ, you need an appropriately cool nn for ds2, and Sol fits the bill perfectly.

[Inkspot]

Lovely lovely lovely, both

[3andnomore]

Hm, Sol is cool, but Solomon...not keen on that one, personally

[dibdabscribble]

Solomon is quite cool, but now I have Solomon Grundy in my head

[suzywong]

Slip in Ezekiel Lott as middle names just for good measure and stop wearing buttons and take to driving a trap/

[ceeceeanne]

solo is a cool nn

[mediocrebronze]

both on my list. In fact for me Solomon is higher than Jacob
