Please don't name him with the same letter as your other son. My mum did that with me and my brother and there was always a fight over post for L. NewHeaven.

There are 25 other letters in the alphabet, please choose another.

This!

And it's worse with two boys.

If you want something timeless and classic sounding then Joseph, John/Jack or James (James is my personal fave especially with the nn Jem - but don’t use James if you have a Jacob already, as it is derived from Jacob).

If you want something more uncommon then I think Biblical Jared is underused in the UK. I also personally quite like the sound of Cornish Jago and Irish Jarlath.

While the post thing isn’t as big a problem as it used to be, do at least make sure they have different middle name initial/s to try to limit confusion.

Django? Sounds like J but starts with D...no confusion

J names are my favourite!

Jake
Jack
Jude
Jim

Or if you want the J sound with a different letter you could go for George.
