Trying to decide on name for DC2 due in October. Surname is Fox. What do you think of Jacob Edward?

I agree with others who have said that Jacob and Edward are fine on their own, its just together that it reminds me of twilight.

I have never read or seen any of the Twighlight films/books so the two names together don't carry those connotations to me. There will be lots like me too I imagine (though I am pushing 40 so not exactly 'down' with the kids). But don't let it put you off if you really love the combination, I doubt the franchise's popularity will hold out through your son's lifetime!

But as the names go I prefer Edward over Jacob by a long way.

Could you keep the Edward and come up with alternative middle names if you are bothered by the Twighlight connection?

Of the other names you've mentioned I like Lucas and Oliver (though this is so common at the moment). Not keen on Caleb, sounds a bit Emmerdale Dingle family to me (not that I watch that either!).

Other biblical names; Joseph, Reuben, Adam.

Love the name Noah by the way!

I thought Jedward - but in 3/5 years time by the time he's grown up and in nursery/school, will people be thinking this, it connecting the names to Twilight? And how many of them will care enough about some film their parents liked a few years ago? I personally think if you like the names go for it:)
However, personally I love Oliver Lucas inspiration for my hypothetical ds
