We already have a Jacob is it a bit much if our 2nd is a boy to call him Josh, do they sound silly together?

They sound very biblical. I would assume you are very religious.

They don't sound silly together, but I would assume you were religious.

That's what I thought - and we aren't !!!!!

I know a Josh and Jake (Jacob) from a non religious family. Both of these names are very popular, and sometimes have a "naughty boy" reputation.

I think they sound absolutely lovely together

They sound fine together
I always think of them as biblic but not religious-y names, like they have crossed over.

Nice combo, now well used so I would not assume you are religious. DS's middle names are Peter Paul (after family) and we are not at all religious.
