Brother for Caleb

Hi all,
This is my first post on here so I am hoping I've done it right!
My OH and I are wondering if anybody can help us choose a name for our ds2!
We already have a Caleb so are looking at something similar to go with his name.
We were thinking Joshua (as in the 2 brothers from the bible) but am not sure whether this is a good idea or not?
I love Noah but it's been used by a close relative already so that one is out.
We're open to any suggestions really before he arrives, otherwise the poor little guy is going to be a little bit nameless!
So just wondering if anybody had a Caleb and if he has a brother, which name did you decide... Or if anybody has any suggestions?

Oh and we are most likely going to have Arthur as the middle name after my Grandfather.

Thanks for any help!

If dd had been a boy, she would have been Joel, to go with ds who is Caleb

Reuben. Both biblical, two syllables and go nicely together

Matthew
Jonathan
Joseph
Gabriel
Mark

I have a Caleb, Hayden and Blake. 🙂

I know a Caleb, his brother is called Aaron.
I think they go well together and are both biblical.

Solomon. Jonah. Elijah. Jacob. If you are looking for biblical names. If not one of my friends has a Caleb and a Dylan.
