Saul and Joel are more matchy than Joel and Jude surely ?

Whoops75 · 24/02/2019 08:43

Saul is great with Joel

YouSetTheTone · 24/02/2019 08:21

I know a Joel who has a brother called Milo. I like both names!

JenniferJareau · 24/02/2019 07:39

Jermaine would be good.

Sorry but I had to laugh at pp who said Billy Blush

We've got a Cameron (Cam) and DD would have been Joel if she'd been a DS.

Also like Saul and Jed.

Louis - pronounced Louie

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 23/02/2019 21:48

I don't think they're too matchy.
The only similarity is the number of letters and they both begin with a J.
If you actually say the names together. They sound nothing a like.
Other ideas.
Theo. Toby. Rudy. Jeff. Gabe. Sean. Cole. Finn. Ryan. Rory. Liam. Luca

Chelseajunior · 23/02/2019 21:29

Jamie or jake?

Chelseajunior · 23/02/2019 21:27

Jude is nice.
I think it goes well with Joel

SinisterBumFacedCat · 23/02/2019 21:26

Wilem, Max, Archie

Jerome or Jeremia

Daisymay2 · 23/02/2019 21:14

TBH, I actively avoided my DC having the same first inital although both have middle names stating with the same letter.
When I was younger my grandparents lived with us for a while and anything addressed to D. Surname was always an issue, was it me or grannie?
