Struggling to narrow down. Help would be much appreciated. Already have a Noah, so.....

Noah and Jacob 'middlename to be decided'
or
Noah and Hugo Jacob

Noah and Sofia Matilda
or
Noah and Savannah 'middle name to be decided'

I absolutely love Bella but surname begins with B and is 2 syllables long. Not sure if it would work?

Other suggestions welcome!
Thanks x

Feel like Noah and Sofia are slightly rhymey. I don’t like Bella personally, to me it’s a dog’s name but also it just feels like a nickname for something.

Jacob and Savannah. Sofia is so common where I live

I love Bella! Are you sure it won't 'go' ?

@SummaLuvin I was concerned it may sound over biblical.
@MacaroniCheeseCat the reason for two A endings is because I can't use Matilda as a first name but desperately want to still use, so had to compromise with middle name. The only other name I Considered was Eloise. Eloise Matilda - no double A. I don't think Isabel would work and I'm not keen on Izzy. Prefer just Bella as a stand alone name.

Instead of Hugo, I have also Considered Oscar Jacob. Noah and Oscar.

Noah and Luca?

MacaroniCheeseCat · 09/04/2022 16:58

Noah and Jacob go well together! Lovely names. As do Noah and Sofia, although I would probably go for a middle name that didn’t end in -a.

If you’re open to suggestions, I think Noah also goes well with the following:

Isaac
Samuel
Lucas
James

Phoebe
Lucy
Clara
Grace

Bella is lovely but I agree with your surname it sounds as though it wouldn’t work well. Would you consider Isabelle or Isobel? Or would the B sound not flow well?

SummaLuvin · 09/04/2022 16:57

Jacob and Noah are popular, so used independently I wouldn’t jump to conclusions about religion. But together I would make the assumption that their parents were devout Christians. Not necessarily a bad thing, but I think it’s worth knowing what connotations names have.

I prefer Jacob and Sofia but they're all good options
