Jacob (nn Coby) or Caleb (nn Cal)

[Leena78]

Hello, please let me know which name you prefer. As Jacob is very popular right now I think I'd like to call him Coby as a nn. Cal will be his nickname if he's Caleb as his brother's name is pretty close in sound. Thanks

How about
Quinn
Logan
Noah
Dylan
Landon
Ethan
Nathan
Owen
Evan

We have decided on Keagan and we both just feel it clicks. I'm very happy with it but am having second thoughts again as I'm worried about the deed poll causing him any unnecessary hassle in his future? Mathanxiety I love your choices by the way, Quin, Noah, Ethan and Nathan were on our list.

Love Caleb but not nn Cal!

Why name him Jacob if you then call him Coby - just call him Coby if that is what you like.

Caleb is fine too. I love Quin (short for Quentin) and Nathan (Nathaniel).

We have decided to go with Keagan as it just suits him so well and seems to have clicked into place with DH and I. Unfortunately this name won't be on his birth certificate though and I will need a deed poll which is worrying me a bit. I know it's easy to get a deed poll and I know a good company to get it from who will also keep a record of it forever but I just hope this doesn't cause complications in the future.

I don't understand about the deed poll thing. Has your son's birth already been registered? You say 'won't be' on the birth certificate which sounds as if the certificate hasn't been issued, so what's the problem with using your chosen name? Sorry if I'm missing something.

Hi name was first Caleb Arran which was too similar to his brother's name of Kaiden. then his second name was Jacob David (D being his dad's name). Those names are both registered on his birth certificate. The second one is now his legal name. However with his deed poll he will be Keagan Jacob David _. Hope that makes more sense
