Sibling for Jacob

Pregnant with DC2 and already worrying about picking a name. When pregnant with DS, Jacob was the only boys name we both liked! For girls, we agreed on Amber or Holly.

All suggestions welcome Smile

According to Google, Rebecca was the wife of Isaac and mother of Jacob somewhere in the bible Grin

Elliot?

nothingchangesagain thank you Smile it seems like we have a similar taste in names!

nothingchangesagain · 04/09/2018 18:22

Rebecca is lovely, so classic and elegant. Lucas and Jacob are my top 2 names for a boy.

midsomermurderess · 04/09/2018 18:19

I know a Jacob with a sibling called Joshua.

Would Lucas or Rebecca sound too similar to Jacob, what with the hard 'c' sound?

Rachel is far too "Friends" for DP Grin Zach is lovely though (not keen on Zachary or Zacharias)

PenelopeThePufferfish · 29/08/2018 19:46

How about Rachel for a girl?

Matthew or Zachary for a boy.

Paige is lovely!

I have a Jacob, his big sister is Paige. She is 16 though so probably not very fashionable now.

Thanks for the continued suggestions! I like Frederick and Isabella, Hooleywhipper. I think longer names work better with our short surname (not Turner! Wink)

I do like April but I thought Avril was a less obvious nod to the month 🙂 I also like January and June though 😂

CorneliusCrackers · 29/08/2018 17:52

@hellsbells552 - what about April?!

Jacob and April Turner

Cleb
Mason
Lewis
Thomas
Dexter

hellsbells552 · 29/08/2018 17:36

Honestly I think we’ll go with either Ben/William/Billy or Alexandra/Sophie. Maybe Fox as a middle name 😉

hellsbells552 · 29/08/2018 17:33

Haha. Also, genuinely, my husband vetoed every other boy name except Jacob first time round. It is spooky! 😂

Hooleywhipper · 29/08/2018 16:47
