I like these 2 names as a first name , the middle name will be Joseph.
I don’t feel like Jacob Joseph sound right together?

I prefer Jacob. Caleb has always felt like a bad boys' name to me.
Jacob has a different feel to it. Strong, solid yet soft. Not a huge fan of Jake though, which is why I ended up not using it.

I like Jacob a lot, not keen on Caleb.

I like both but would say Cal-eb and Jac-ob not Kaylib and Jaykub, due to being Welsh. Of the two Caleb.

Love Caleb. Jacob a bit overdone.

Thehundredthnamechange · 06/04/2022 19:16

Caleb is pronounced kay-leb.

GogLais · 06/04/2022 19:19

Maybe it does but it's Cal-eb in Welsh.

Jacob. Jacob Joseph is lovely - two of my favourite names together.

If my second daughter was a boy she would have been Caleb. I just love the name Jacob was a close second but very popular.

Jacob Joseph if you want JJ as a nickname but I love Caleb
Jacob often shortened to Jake

SunshiningBoo · 06/04/2022 19:41

I like Jacob.

Mol1628 · 06/04/2022 19:42

Caleb

WeasilyPleased · 06/04/2022 22:28

Jacob Joseph is a great name.

DramaAlpaca · 06/04/2022 22:56

I like both, but I'd just have to go with Jacob Joseph.
