DS 6 is Joshua.
DS 2 due in december.....our names list consists of...
Jude
Sebastian
Daniel
Mitchell
.....so far.
Middle names likely to be Christopher and or John/Steve (granddads).
Any thoughts? Suggestions? Ideas or contributions welcome. Open to new names.....like uncommon but not necessarily unusual names.
TIA.

Love Reuben and Jude.

I think Daniel would work well with Joshua. I also like Liam, Thomas, Tobias, Isaac and Caleb.

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 04/10/2017 20:53

Joshua and Daniel, lovely !

MikeUniformMike · 04/10/2017 21:04

Don't like Jude or Sebastian

Joshua and Jude to matchy matchy
Mitch? I don't know.
Daniel is a classic name that never dates.

My suggested name is Fraser.

I know brothers called Joshua and Miles, I think it's a lovely combination.

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 05/10/2017 09:26

Joshua and Ethan go well together too.

thenightmanageress · 05/10/2017 09:38

Joshua and Samuel are perfect together!

I may be a little bias here...
