Noah and Jonah

Afternoon all,

Recently heard the name Jonah and really like it! My biggest concern is my son is called Noah. Are Noah and Jonah too close for brothers?

The other name I like is Jacob.

Which do you prefer, Noah and Jonah or Noah and Jacob? And why?

Many thanks!

I really like these two names together. I prefer Jonah to Jacob as the meaning of the name is nicer. Jonas is another lovely suggestion.

Jacob works better. Jonah is just that little bit too similar.

It’s all a bit too Sunday school teacher for me. I’d go for something non-biblical.

I'm a Mum of 2 boys named Noah and Jonah. They are 17 months apart. They are adults now 26 and 24. I'm immensely proud of them. They are very close. They share a phenomenal bond and support each other in all their aspects in life. They are true Gentlemen. Quite rare for their generation xo

Definitely Noah and Jacob

Use the name you like best. Noah and Jonah are very similar but they are individuals, and won't always be together.

Jonah. Jacob is one of those names that are done to death. It’s so common and getting very boring.

Little Jacob or Jonah is now three years old.

Absolutely love the name Jonah, but yes I think Noah and Jonah are too matchy so I'd go with Jacob
