We're having our second boy in a few weeks and names are proving more difficult than last time.. However we have now got 2 possibilities, although other suggestions still welcome!

Let me know which you like best out of:
Jesse Alexander
Joey Alexander

Thanks! Ps no, I'm not American...

Thanks so much for the replies.

My heart says Jesse but head says Joe or Joseph (although not sold on either)

Our first is Calvin and he was easy to name!

Jesse is lovely and a lot less used than Joseph (where I live anyway). I think it also goes better with Calvin. They are both a bit American in a lovely way.

Calving and Jesse.

Joseph nn Joey

I hate Jesse for a boy, know far too many girl Jessie's which I think is a really pretty name.

Dislike Jesse - probably because "you big jesse" is an insult up here.

Joey Essex Sad

I don't like Jesse or Joey at all. Alexander is lovely, though!

I like Jesse and think it goes well with Calvin. Joseph is okay but a bit boring.

AtiaoftheJulii · 02/06/2016 12:59

Love Jesse. And yes, it does go well with Calvin Smile

Jesse is a lovely name and much less popular than Joseph (I speak as a primary teacher).

Jonah non Joe/Joey

Joey, it was our second choice for DS.
