James, Joseph and...? (DS3)

[ASecretLemonadeDrinker]

I am so stuck. Poor DS3 is 8 days old and we cannot decide on a name. I started a thread before but have lost it in the depths of MN The shortlist so far, favourites at the top are-
Laurence (my favourite I think but not biblical)
Thomas (seems abit 'obvious')
Joshua (love it but people would think we named them all J... on purpose and it sounds abit odd with 2 other Js)
Caleb
Callum (calum?)
Jacob
I like Rupert too, DH doesn't...

I want a nice solid name, pref. biblical, and will need 2 middle names too Patrick I love too, but it's one of DS1s middle names.... ditto Malachi (one of DS2s). I have been waiting for it to just come to me like DS 1 and 2 but nothing is "right"....

James, Joseph and Joshua/Jacob would be cool, but the alliteration's a bit Jermaine Jackson. I've always liked Caleb, and I like Laurence too. I'm not keen on Thomas or Rupert, but if you want solid Biblical names, then I think John is a great name, all the moreso for being underused nowadays.

Jacob was my first thought....before I even opened the post.

Joshua would be fab I think.

If you like the name what does it matter if they all start with the same initial? You are going to be saying it every day for the rest of your life. Might as well make it one you actually want.

jonathan was my immediate thought

The first name that came to my mind was Joshua - it fits so well

Jacob was my immediate thought too!

Charles

Samuel (?) it goes although it hasn't got the J

or Daniel i think would also go

Jonah.

Or maybe Edward.

Lucas
Luke
Jacob
Zachary
Matthew
Ethan
Nathna
Kieron
Nicholas
Samuel
Benjamin
Oliver
Pet er
Jonathon
Frederick
Michael
Sean
Ryan
Isaac
George

yes - joshua totally sprang to mind when reading the title of your post. Love jonah too. Also love Reuben

George!

Joshua - who cares that they all begin with J

Its Jolly

Josh is a strong sensible name

Jack

I automatically though Jacob before opening the thread!

John or Jesse.

my DS3 was also nameless for about 10 days if it's any consolation. Everyone hassled me about it and I wanted to poke their eyes out. take your time. Jessiah??? - I love it and very biblical but a brave choice perhaps.

Joshua, Jacob, Jonah, are perfect for brothers called James and Joseph! Other biblical names like Jonathan, Jesse, Josiah, Jude, Jason are nice too, and how about Justin?

If you really don't want a 'J' (All my children have the same letter and I often get teased about it so I can see why you might not), how about Matthew, Nathan, Solomon, Ethan or Reuben?

Congratulations on your newborn!

Dh Said Jacob.

I like John (aka Johnie)

Joshua is a great name, its DS's name.

My nan named all her boys with the letter T and when they were older and post came, they never knew who it was for. Just a thought.

If you have Callum, don't spell it with 1 L. My friend did this and said she has to continously spell his name for people now and everyone tends to spell it with 2 Ls.

Matthew, Mark, Luke, John?

Issac?

Seth?
