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.

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
