We have a Joseph already and we are expecting our second boy and need name ideas please?

OP posts:

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

Do you want another old Testament name or prefer not to?
I like Isaac, Samuel and Thomas from above suggestions.
Non-biblical names:
Blake
Lewis
Nicholas
Christopher
Edward

I was wondering if the name had to be biblical as well. Maybe not Zebeedee

I think those two names sound so good together

Joseph and Samuel

Came to say this too. I miss Samuel. So many little Sams in the 80's.

A Joseph I know has a brother called Thomas. It’s an obvious pairing - both classic, perennial Top 100 names, both 2 syllable Biblical stalwarts, both with friendly sounding, obvious nicknames in Joe and Tom (or Joey and Tommy when little).

Other obvious pairings imo would be Daniel, Samuel, Michael, Benjamin, David and (swerving the Bible) William or Edward. All are also Top 100 classics and all shorten to friendly, 1/2 syllable nicknames just like Joe/Joey.
