Baby boy names DS2, DS1 Jacob!

[Confusedcom1985]

I’m struggling to choose a DS2 baby name (older bro Jacob!) I like fairly traditional names, any suggestions please!? Views on the following appreciated! :)

James
Alexander
Ben
Charlie
George
Finn
Oliver

Alexander is my favourite out of those

Wouldn’t have the same first initial for siblings (just personal choice) and would avoid Ben as I just think of the musical theatre song “Jacob and Sons”

Isaac.

All nice, we would have gone with Toby/Tobias if we'd had a boy

Like Alexander the best.

Other suggestions:
Joshua
Rory
Elliott
Arthur
Nathaniel
Oscar
Sebastian
William
Samuel
Leo
Theodore
Dominic

Alexander is my favourite of your list.

I'll aslo suggest:

Jesse
Axel
Jude
Rex
Simon
Zachary
Levi
Silas
Otis
Hugo
Felix
Lucas

See this post re Jacob and James - apparently they're the same name!

Are these names too similar for siblings? www.mumsnet.com/Talk/baby_names/4001287-are-these-names-too-similar-for-siblings

James - too similar to Jacob
Alexander - really nice and would go well with Jacob
Ben - OK if nickname for Benedict
Charlie - not keen but like Charles
George - like, would go well with Jacob
Finn - don't like
Oliver - OK

I saw a shop once called Arlo and Jacob and thought they went really well together 😂

Lovely names
How about Laurence or Peter

All lovely names.

Othet suggestions:

Joshua
Jack
Oliver
Nathan
Thomas

They’re good traditional names, but a little boring.

I like george and Oliver the best.
But I also like Harrison

Its very true...although I find that with all boys names 🙈 are there any you’d suggest? @Happymum12345

Thank you, love the breakdown! :) appreciate the thoughts, I think George and Alexander are my favs actually

You can’t have James, as it’s the same name as Jacob.
I think Ben goes best, but I’d have Benjamin on the BC.
Otherwise Oliver.
I don’t think the others go, if that bothers you..

It's been said twice already, but you can't have a Jacob and a James, they are versions of the same name.

I'd go for Alexander. Jacob and Alex are nice together.

As pp has mentioned James is a no go as it's the same origin as Jacob. I love Alexander with Jacob though! Oliver also works well (although it's a bit popular).

What about Samuel, Daniel, Michael, William, Edward, Charles, Frederick, Thomas or Henry?

Jacob and George would be my choice

I love Jacob. It's on my list!
