Josiah is such a gorgeous name. You have a great list for your 2nd

Logan - ok
Jason - ok
Liam - love
Daniel - love - a total classic
Eli - one of my favourite names, I adore it. Favourite
Jared - don’t like the sound of it
Joel - potentially too similar?
Jonas - same as above
Theodore - love this name
Jamison - I only know of it as a surname. Not keen
Milo - adore it - joint favourite
Lewis - adore it

I think you’ve got an excellent list there and I think you should stick with one of those names but I’ll make some extra suggestions below just incase

I think Jared, Joel and Eli 'go' best with Josiah.

NoSauce · 06/12/2019 19:14

Elijah nn Eli would go. Not keen on the others.

Sherrybabyy · 06/12/2019 19:14

I love Eli and Theodore

Leopardprintboots · 06/12/2019 19:46

I love Eli in its own right as a name, not so much Elijah though I like both

daisypond · 06/12/2019 21:12

Daniel

mondler · 07/12/2019 04:58

I like eli and Daniel. What about Jonah?

MountainPeakGeek · 07/12/2019 05:30

Eli "goes" the best, in my opinion, and it is a lovely name, but out of your list - if you hadn't mentioned wanting to pick something to go with your ds1's name - I'd say Daniel is my favourite.

IckleBear · 07/12/2019 08:18

Eli

MrsBertBibby · 07/12/2019 08:48

Eli never looks like a full name to me. Prefer Elias. It's nice though.
Daniel is great, can't go wrong with a Daniel.

Both go well with Josiah. Your J names are too samey, Logan and Liam I really dislike.

Theodore Milo and Lewis are all good (Theodore/Theo a bit popular just now) but I don't think they sit as well with Josiah

TatianaLarina · 07/12/2019 11:19

Like Theodore and Milo.

EugeniaGrace · 07/12/2019 11:29

My favourites are Theodore, Daniel and Eli.

Liam would be better as a shortened form of William (Liam on it’s own feels like to much of a nickname alongside Josiah which I find quote formal). The one starting with J while I’ve named in themselves, sound to similar to Josiah.

Leopardprintboots · 07/12/2019 16:24

I know a little Eli and he’s the coolest little chap ever - made me love the name even more

BackforGood · 07/12/2019 17:02

I was going to say exactly the same as @MountainPeakGeek Grin

Personally, I think life is a LOT easier if you don't have the same initial as your sibling - so I'd rule out all the names you've got that start with a 'J'

EleanorShellstrop100 · 08/12/2019 04:22

Logan - fine
Jason - very dated
Liam - just think of Gallagher
Daniel - fine
Eli - love
Jared - dislike
Joel- dislike
Jonas - like but prefer Jonah
Theodore - cute nicknames but don’t like the full name
Jamison- strongly dislike
Milo - cute
Lewis - don’t like but I like Louis

BingThing · 08/12/2019 04:58

I like -
Eli
Theodore
Milo
But above comment is correct Theo is really popular - I have one and I regret it a little bit to be honest - although I do love the name. We nearly chose Elias, Elijah & Asa if that helps.

fantasmasgoria1 · 08/12/2019 05:58

Logan or milo.

lowlandLucky · 08/12/2019 09:31

Josiah and Daniel match

lowlandLucky · 08/12/2019 09:33

Ishmael would also match
