Too similar?

I already have a DS Jake. Is Jude too similar for a siblings name?

I think they go well together.

BabyBurtons2 · 26/04/2022 07:42

Nah. They go well

GraceL365 · 26/04/2022 07:50

No, I like the sound of them together :)

KirstenBlest · 26/04/2022 08:24

A bit too matchy-matchy

toastofthetown · 26/04/2022 08:37

It's not the end of the world but all things being equal, I'd avoid matching initials for siblings.

headspin10 · 26/04/2022 08:53

Love those names!

KirstenBlest · 26/04/2022 09:00

I'm not keen on Jude, but Jake is ok. I'd avoid the same initials too, but people tend to like the same type of names.

Make sure the middle initial is different

Marty13 · 26/04/2022 12:04

I think they're different enough and who cares that they're the same initial ? That really doesn't matter.

LimeSegment · 26/04/2022 12:18

Personally I don't like matching the first letter for siblings, bit if you don't mind that i think the names are sufficiently different.

Tsuni · 26/04/2022 18:18

Too similar

DramaAlpaca · 26/04/2022 18:57

They're fine together

Stichintime · 26/04/2022 18:58

I wouldn't.

StrongOutspokenOftenIrritating · 26/04/2022 19:02

If you have a third they can be Jule(s)

timestheyarechanging · 26/04/2022 21:22

I like it.y ExH grew up with Jude Law so he never wanted that name for our son.

Aquamarine1029 · 26/04/2022 21:24

I don't like matching first letters, and I really dislike Jude.

Joolsin · 26/04/2022 21:51

I wouldn't, too much possibility for mixing them up and calling them Jade and Juke.

wingsofabird · 26/04/2022 22:23

Sound lovely together

VeryQuaintIrene · 26/04/2022 22:25

For me, Jude is kind of a depressing name - Jude the obscure, St Jude patron of lost causes, but I do quite like Jake and Jude as a pair of cute brothers!

user1492757084 · 01/05/2022 02:38

No, you can do better.

user1492757084 · 01/05/2022 02:43

Jake and Bentley
Jake and Finn
Jake and Charley
Jake and Hugo
Jake and Leo
Jake and Rex
Jake and Milo
Jake and Sam

ThroughThickAndThin01 · 01/05/2022 07:07

Too samey

ButterRose · 01/05/2022 07:32

If the same first initial doesn't bother you then I think they sound just fine together I personally love both those names

ZoyaTheDestroyer · 01/05/2022 10:18

They are quite matchy and just the wrong side of twee for my taste. It would work better if your Jake were a Jacob.

YellowFlowersForever · 02/05/2022 21:55

@user1492757084 Finn is the other choice which I love!
