Sibling for Jacob

Pregnant with DC2 and already worrying about picking a name. When pregnant with DS, Jacob was the only boys name we both liked! For girls, we agreed on Amber or Holly.

All suggestions welcome Smile

Really like some of these suggestions! I like Benjamin but DP is not keen.

For girls names, I don't want to just stick with the same names we had picked out in the last pregnancy. DP likes Rebecca but I'm not sure. I like Sophie!

Haha. Also, genuinely, my husband vetoed every other boy name except Jacob first time round. It is spooky! 😂

hellsbells552 · 29/08/2018 17:36

Honestly I think we’ll go with either Ben/William/Billy or Alexandra/Sophie. Maybe Fox as a middle name 😉

Mason
Lewis
Thomas
Dexter

@hellsbells552 - what about April?!

Jacob and April Turner

hellsbells552 · 29/08/2018 17:58

I do like April but I thought Avril was a less obvious nod to the month 🙂 I also like January and June though 😂

Thanks for the continued suggestions! I like Frederick and Isabella, Hooleywhipper. I think longer names work better with our short surname (not Turner! Wink)

I have a Jacob, his big sister is Paige. She is 16 though so probably not very fashionable now.

Paige is lovely!

How about Rachel for a girl?

Matthew or Zachary for a boy.

NameChangeAgain712 · 29/08/2018 19:54

Rachel is far too "Friends" for DP Grin Zach is lovely though (not keen on Zachary or Zacharias)

Would Lucas or Rebecca sound too similar to Jacob, what with the hard 'c' sound?

midsomermurderess · 04/09/2018 18:19

I know a Jacob with a sibling called Joshua.

nothingchangesagain · 04/09/2018 18:22

Rebecca is lovely, so classic and elegant. Lucas and Jacob are my top 2 names for a boy.

JLG19 · 04/09/2018 18:26

nothingchangesagain thank you Smile it seems like we have a similar taste in names!

Impulsesealer · 04/09/2018 18:28

Elliot?
