Baby Brother for Joshua

14 replies

CherryTangfastics · 30/06/2018 23:05

DS2 is due in September and we're looking for a preferably biblical name for him to match DS1. Easy to spell/pronounce.

Names that have been ruled out so far as we either have friends or friends' children with the same names are:

Aaron
Malachi
Ezra
Reuben
Joseph
Caleb
Eli
Elijah
Daniel
Steven

Also our surname is double barrelled ending in a 'ah' sound, which we forgot to consider when picking Joshua (very sing-song)

Right now the front runner is Joel but I'm in two minds about 2 J names

Help please and TIA!

I love Joel. Really underused gorgeous name.

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 01/07/2018 14:07

Joshua and Adam sound nice together.
From your list, I'd go with Daniel.

CherryTangfastics · 02/07/2018 22:28

Thanks everyone, lots of names to choose from.

I've just realised there's even more names to add to the excluded list as I forgot family members and their kids.

So far the shortlist consists of

Joel
Isaiah (might chose the easier spelling of Isiah)
Possibly Gabriel but I don't want it shortened to Gabe
