A twin for identical Joseph?

[TheGhostOfBarryFairbrother]

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?

James is the first name that came to mind.

My first thought was Noah

Thomas comes from the Hebrew word for twin.

I love the name Joseph (I have a Józef😀) and I also love the name Gabriel!
Joe and Gabe 😍

If you are looking for some biblical inspiration then I think it has to be Joseph and Benjamin. After all Joseph had 11 brothers, the only 'full' brother was, yup you guessed it...Benjamin!

Joseph and Gabriel. Other suggestions Joseph and.
Thomas
Andrew.
Alexander.
Daniel.
Samuel.
Matthew
David
Patrick.
Connor.
Anthony

Isaac

I'd give them names with a different number of syllables and don't give the second, a name beginning J. Avoid pairs of names that sound cute on toddlers.
One day they will be 39, and not cute.

That way they will have different initials and less likelihood of confusion in adult life and bureaucracy.

Did you miss the part where OP says her twins have an older brother called Benjamin?

Joseph and…..

Isaac
Samuel
Daniel
Zachary
Thomas
Luke
Michael
Matthew
Nathan
Christopher
Peter
Nicholas
Adam
Noah
William
Edward
Henry
Oliver
David
Charles
Alexander
Andrew
Aaron

Twins get pretty tired being seen as " so cute" long before they reach puberty.

My advice would be to stay away from another J name so they have different initials. Much easier when people are identified by initials! Lovely band choice btw. I'm sure you'll think of something that he'll grow into and youll not bd able to imagine him being anything else!
Many congratulations too, I wish you an uncomplicated rest of pregnancy and delivery

I read it as being the OPs brother. It used to be common to use uncles and aunts names.

Conrad

Actually I would go for Christopher and shorten to Joe and Kit. Love Joseph, but only managed to get it as a middle name for one of ours.

The Op wrote she has a brother herself called Benjamin... or at least that's how I read it!

I did too. It would hardly be 'potentially odd' to us the same name for siblings!

Gabriel. I love Gabe for short and goes nice surf Joseph

Joseph doesnt have to become Joe or Joey,both of which are horrible.
Our Joseph is 21 and still Joseph. No abbreviations. He doesnt have any brothers but if he did they might be:
James
Simon
Guy
Patrick
Gabriel
Matthew
Laurence
Dominic

Joseph could also be Sepp. If you chose that.

Joseph and Daniel

My Joseph isn’t Joe or Joey or Seph or Joseph or Pepe but another shortening 😂 have met 3 other little ones with the same shortening lately, and there are at least 2 famous people who go by it too. Yet the amount of odd responses it gets on here and IRL leads me to not reveal it… although I’m sure you can guess!

Please share !

Joseph and Jude

Matthew

Daniel was my first thought.

Love Nathaniel too.
