I like all your names but my favourites (aside from Jonah) are:

Elijah

In that order.

I thought Elijah before opening thread and reading your list. The suggestion of Ezra also sounds very well matched with Jonah.

Justput- it actually means dove which I associate with peace which is quite nice.

Thanks for your suggestions. Love Jude and Joel, they were on the list first time round, but don't feel I can have another J name (dh is also a J!)

Also love Ezra as love OT names but do they sound a bit too 'religious' together?

I love Jonah!

I'd pick Elijah from your list, or Leo.

I know a Jonah and Noah, if you like a biblical water-based theme.

Seth or Noah?

Elijah came to mind before I read your suggestions Grin, but they do sound very religious together if you are trying to avoid that.

Caleb or Elijah.

I think Caleb would probably be slightly better as Jonah & Elijah do both have the same "ah" sound at the end.

Caleb. Before I even read your list.

If you're very Christian then go for Elijah but if you're not I'd avoid any very obviously biblical names (like Noah).
