Brother for Joshua

[Hawknotdove]

Both Arthur and George are strong contenders, but I am not sure they go well with Joshua.

Does George involve too many J sounds? (Dad has a J name too)

Does Arthur sound too alike with its similar ending? Does it feel like a different 'type' of name (a bit old man, while Joshua feels quite timeless)

Am I over thinking?!

What names do you think go well with Joshua?

My first thought was Daniel. I don't think Arthur is an obvious one with Joshua, but they're individuals, so you won't always be calling them together. I think the two 'a's would run into each other. I also don't think GEORGE goes too well with the g j sounds, but again, you should pick the names you really like the sound of.

I like Arthur and George. I think they are both fine with Joshua.

Other suggestions: -

Lucas
Dylan
Albert / Albie
Caleb

I've a Joshua and an Oliver!

I love George and Arthur but don't think they're the same "type" of name as Joshua.

I think -

Robert
Alexander
Daniel
Benjamin
Andrew

Jacob.

I think there's too much J sound with Joshua plus George. Arthur goes quite well though.

Alfred
Charles
William
Callum
Ethan

Samuel? I think it sounds lovely with Joshua

James or George.

Arthur if you must, or Alfred.

But I'd go for the biblical James, with the biblical Joshua.

Isaac
Matthew
Samuel

My nephews are George and Joshua, and I think they work well together.

I would go with a name that can obviously be shortened (Joshua - Josh)
~ Matthew - Matt
~ Benjamin - Ben
~ Zachary - Zach
~ Joseph - Joe
~ Thomas - Tom

• lots more!

How about Noah?

I was at a real loss there trying to work out how Arthur and Joshua had similar endings (am Irish).
I do think George is too similar with the J sound.

Christian
Dominic
Damian
Edward
Nathan
Thomas
Lionel
Frederick
William

I think the above sound nice with Joshua.
