Struggling to name Noah's sibling.
Which do you prefer? And why?

Noah and Jacob
Or
Noah and Jenson

Thank You.

Jacob

Jacob has a nice ring to it with Noah

Jacob

Jacob of the two.

Jared? Bit more unusual. Joshua is very popular. I really like Elijah but needs the right surname to work.

Jacob

ParisJeTAime · 25/01/2021 22:47

Jacob! I think they make a lovely pair Smile

Jacob - lovely

Jenson - awful

IamnotwhouthinkIam · 25/01/2021 23:23

My instinct was Noah and Ezra (before reading your full post).

Of your two choices, Jacob definitely works the best with Noah.

Flymetothestars · 25/01/2021 23:33

Jacob but love both options

Chocoholic1972 · 25/01/2021 23:58

Another vote for Jacob

DramaAlpaca · 26/01/2021 00:19

Jenson for me.

I'm not too keen on Old Testament names on the whole, and definitely not two together.

Sorry! Grin

I like Jacob.
I do not like Jensen.

Jacob

Jacob. Not keen on Jenson.

Amdone123 · 26/01/2021 01:37

Jacob.
I hate Jenson, Jaxson type names.
Agree with pp....Ezra.

Misbeehived · 26/01/2021 01:59

Jacob. But I came here to say Roman.

IamnotwhouthinkIam · 26/01/2021 03:29

Oh sorry you also wanted reasons why - Jacob is a fairly classic name with a long history of use and is reasonably timeless. Jenson is part of the surname as a given name trend, so may date more and imo it also very clearly means John's (Jen's) son - so I find it a slightly odd as a first name (unless the boys Dad is called John! )

Calmondeck · 26/01/2021 04:36

Another vote for Jacob. Mostly because I love Jake, and can imagine a mischievous little pair of brothers called Noah & Jake.

eeiizzol · 26/01/2021 04:43

Another vote for Jacob. I think it flows better with Noah.

However, I agree with pp Ezra as another possible option. I thought.of that name before reading your post fully too.

babynamelover · 26/01/2021 05:00

Jacob for me.

Jack would be nice too.
Or biblical still Joel or Jethro.

WildCherryBlossom · 26/01/2021 05:30

Jacob - was the first name I thought of when I saw your post, before I had even read the OP

Kote · 26/01/2021 05:54

Jacob goes well. It is quite a biblical pair though if that's an issue at all.

SmeleanorSmellstrop · 26/01/2021 06:36

I thought Jacob before I even opened the thread! Very biblical and cool. Def not Jenson.
