A twin for identical Joseph?

Identical boys, Joseph for one, no idea for his twin!

Gabriel, Benjamin (got a brother called Benjamin so potentially odd.

Something slightly Biblical? No idea?

I’d personally lay off Reuben, Issac, Jacob, Joel type names as it’s a bit too biblical (I know some of the above are, but somehow have a broader association to me), and you don’t want two Js

Definitely don't go with two Js.

Not sure about some being 'too biblical' as pp said unless were talking Absalom or Belshazzar or the like! I'm pondering that one tbh.

Not Jacob. You’ll get jokes about that being his dad’s name.
The biblical brothers of Joseph are Reuben, Simeon (Simon?) Levi, Judah (Jude?), Dan (Daniel), Naphtali (Nathan?), Gad, Asher, Issachar, Zebulun. And Benjamin!

Sealover123 · 03/06/2023 19:29

Silas, Gabriel, Samuel, Thomas, Andrew, Michael, David, Thomas, Benjamin, Micah, Aaron, Adam, Peter, Amos, Asher, Cyrus, Bartholomew, Daniel, Elijah, Ezra

Lovely names for 2 boys
