English yet "Jewish" names

[BlazeofLight]

My DH is Jewish, I am not (which is tricky at times because his religion is important to him).

It is very important for him that our children have Jewish names to help them connect with their heritage.

I understand that but we struggle to find something we can agree on because I like traditional English names.

DS1 is Samuel. He wanted Isiah, Isaac or Noah. I wanted William, Max, Frederick.

We are now debating what to call DS2. Any suggestions?

(And any one else end up compromising so both partners have a name they can live with, but one that neither loves? Seems sad)

Thank you!

I really like Adam, Aaron, Benjamin, Joseph and Daniel (though I agree with the person who said Daniel is a bit similar to Samuel).

James, David, Sol (omon)

Benjamin
David
Michael
Daniel
Simon
Gabriel

Are there any family names?

A friend of mine follows the tradition of naming a baby after grandparents or great grandparents that have passed

Not using the same name but the same meaning

Joseph, Michael, Reuben, Elliot, Asher, Simon, Simeon, Michael, Micha, Levi, Jacob, Meyer.

I love loads of these names and have used them for my children without actually realising they were Jewish names. I also have a Jewish name.

I like Issac, Noah, Benjamin, Daniel, Thomas, David and Matthew best.
