Josiah is such a gorgeous name. You have a great list for your 2nd

Logan - ok
Jason - ok
Liam - love
Daniel - love - a total classic
Eli - one of my favourite names, I adore it. Favourite
Jared - don’t like the sound of it
Joel - potentially too similar?
Jonas - same as above
Theodore - love this name
Jamison - I only know of it as a surname. Not keen
Milo - adore it - joint favourite
Lewis - adore it

I think you’ve got an excellent list there and I think you should stick with one of those names but I’ll make some extra suggestions below just incase

I think Jared, Joel and Eli 'go' best with Josiah.

I love Eli in its own right as a name, not so much Elijah though I like both

Eli "goes" the best, in my opinion, and it is a lovely name, but out of your list - if you hadn't mentioned wanting to pick something to go with your ds1's name - I'd say Daniel is my favourite.

Eli

Eli never looks like a full name to me. Prefer Elias. It's nice though.
Daniel is great, can't go wrong with a Daniel.

Both go well with Josiah. Your J names are too samey, Logan and Liam I really dislike.

Theodore Milo and Lewis are all good (Theodore/Theo a bit popular just now) but I don't think they sit as well with Josiah

My favourites are Theodore, Daniel and Eli.

Liam would be better as a shortened form of William (Liam on it’s own feels like to much of a nickname alongside Josiah which I find quote formal). The one starting with J while I’ve named in themselves, sound to similar to Josiah.

I know a little Eli and he’s the coolest little chap ever - made me love the name even more

I was going to say exactly the same as @MountainPeakGeek Grin

Personally, I think life is a LOT easier if you don't have the same initial as your sibling - so I'd rule out all the names you've got that start with a 'J'

I like -
Eli
Theodore
Milo
But above comment is correct Theo is really popular - I have one and I regret it a little bit to be honest - although I do love the name. We nearly chose Elias, Elijah & Asa if that helps.
