Which name would go best with older brother Noah?
As don't think I could use both names as not sure two names with same letter go together as first and middle name.
Ta muchly.

I like Jacob.

Bella5757 · 20/01/2019 11:33

I like both names. They are lovely. But I think Jacob and Noah sounds lovely together. Either one you choose will be lovely xx

Jacob - much nicer name and goes nicely with Noah

I have an irrational dislike of the name Jasper

Shadow1234 · 20/01/2019 11:38

Jacob.

Jasper

Jacob and Noah go well together but are quite a biblical pair. This may or may not bother you.

Jacob and Jake are MUCH more popular than Jasper (although Jasper does seem to be having a moment) and have been for a long time. Again, this may or may not be a factor for you.

Jasper is nicer unless child has red hair. Jacob is ok though

Thank you everyone so far. Really appreciate your time.

Anyone else?

I'd have to say Jasper because Noah & Jacob together are too biblical for me.

heartoftheocean · 21/01/2019 13:27

Still looking for opinions.....

I really like both, but Jasper a little bit more :)

MikeUniformMike · 21/01/2019 15:22

Jacob. Jasper seems a bit nicknamey.

sweetkitty · 21/01/2019 15:23

I have a Jacob so I’m biased.

Jasper reminds me of a cat as I’ve known two ginger cats called Jasper sorry.

Both Jacob and Jasper seem to be equal at the minute. Jacob with a name I loved with my first. My son said he likes Jacob better and asked for Jacob George. But wondered if I should go for something a bit more uncommon? Arghhhh! Why is it so hard!

Love the name Noah its lush loving jacob too it just seems to fit better xxx

AdaColeman · 21/01/2019 16:17

Jasper is a super name, and not over used.

While Jacob is nice, it has been very popular for some years now, I know at least three.

SweetbutAPsycho · 21/01/2019 20:37

I also prefer Jacob. It goes better with Noah imo x

FlagFish · 21/01/2019 20:39

I like both names.

Jacob / Jake is much more common if that bothers you. Jasper would probably have been rejected by my DH as too “posh sounding”!?

heartoftheocean · 21/01/2019 20:43

Thank you FlagFish.
Popularity doesn't really bother me. I picked Noah because I loved it. Had no idea it was number 5 most popular and don't regret it because I still love the name. Think I'm leaning towards Jacob as I loved it when pregnant with Noah, but picked Noah. I still love Jacob deep down.
