Sibling names to go with Joshua

I think it needs to be something relatively traditional and ideally more than one syllable as our surname is very short.

Girls name ideas:
Charlotte
Chloe
Ella
Georgia

Boys name ideas:
Samuel
George (though it breaks the syllable rule!)
Freddie
Charlie

Currently don't "love" any of the boys names so I'm struggling more with those. Worried that Freddie and Charlie may be too 'nicknamey'?!

Any other ideas welcome!!

I have a Joshua. If I were to have another boy, I'd call him Sebastian.

Jessica.

Freddie.

I don't know why but I thought Alice or Alicia straight away. I probably know a Joshua with a sibling that name? I'm not great with names ! I love Charlotte and Georgia though! Olivia would be good but maybe too popular?

Charlotte or Samuel.

Chloe and Ella have been too popular in the past. Georgia is nice but it was very popular here about 30 years ago.

Not keen on Freddie but George and Charlie are fine.

Joshua and George/ia a bit J-heavy

Immediately thought Matthew for a boy.
Joshua and Matthew, Josh and Matt.

I know an (adult) Joshua
His sisters are Elizabeth and Madeleine and his brother is Zachary
All go by Josh, Libby, Maddie and Zac if that makes any difference

imnotwhoyouthinkiam · 04/10/2022 22:46

I have a Joshua and interestingly my name, his brothers name, some of his cousins and his step siblings have all been mentioned.

I actually think most names go well with Joshua.

Junebug55 · 05/10/2022 07:08

Thank you! Some great ideas here. Particularly like hearing what other Joshua's have as their sibling names!

Joshuas middle name is Matthew so sadly that one is ruled out. As is anything that ends with an 's' sound or begins with a P because of our awkward surname. But there's still some good options to mull over.
