Boys name to go with Jake (for twins)

45 replies

Trying to think of names for twin boys - due in June. We didn't have a single boy's name agreed prior to my dd being born (even though we didn't know the sex in advance), so really struggling...

We've agreed on Jake for one and I'm keen to have another one-syllable name to go with it, e.g. Ben, but DH isn't keen (think he knows too many Bens).

I'd rather not have two Js or anything that almost rhymes (Nate?). Also, dd's name and our surname both start with an R and I think we need to avoid more alliteration.

Other than that, I'm open to suggestions!

Thanks in advance...

I have a Jake and a Louis.

I've just had DS3 who has no name so I'm watching with interest .

Thanks guys! So many names are out due to close friends/family but I think I'll put Max, Sam and Lucas on the maybes list alongside Ben. I also like Theo and Evan but don't think DH will consider.

Louis is lovely but I might be concerned about mispronunciation - assuming people say this as Loo-ee?

We actually both like Beau, but I read another thread where it got completely slated as a name and I'm keen to avoid anything contentious or risky in terms of potential for being bullied. Shame, as it's one of the few we agree on!

I know someone with sons Jack and John which is daft as Jack is a nickname for John.
