A twin for identical Joseph?

Identical boys, Joseph for one, no idea for his twin!

Gabriel, Benjamin (got a brother called Benjamin so potentially odd.

Something slightly Biblical? No idea?

I love the name Joseph (I have a Józef😀) and I also love the name Gabriel!
Joe and Gabe 😍

If you are looking for some biblical inspiration then I think it has to be Joseph and Benjamin. After all Joseph had 11 brothers, the only 'full' brother was, yup you guessed it...Benjamin!

Thomas comes from the Hebrew word for twin.

My first thought was Noah

Palmtree23 · 03/06/2023 20:07

James is the first name that came to mind.

Carryonkeepinggoing · 03/06/2023 19:28

Not Jacob. You’ll get jokes about that being his dad’s name.
The biblical brothers of Joseph are Reuben, Simeon (Simon?) Levi, Judah (Jude?), Dan (Daniel), Naphtali (Nathan?), Gad, Asher, Issachar, Zebulun. And Benjamin!

Itsanotherhreatday · 03/06/2023 19:25

Joseph and Joshua are awful together -

Joseph and Louie
Joseph and Elias
Jospeh and Scott
Joe and Tyler
Joe and Francis

Definitely don't go with two Js.

Not sure about some being 'too biblical' as pp said unless were talking Absalom or Belshazzar or the like! I'm pondering that one tbh.
