Brother for Jacob and Benjamin

[namechange272727]

Henry, Samuel or Alexander? (We would use the long name rather than shortening.)

or something else?

thanks

Samuel out of your list.

Daniel was the first suggestion I thought of, followed by Zachary.

Samuel goes really well with the other names. I do like Reuben and Seth or Saul. So many great names on the list.

Alexander

How about Thomas or Tobias?

I don't think Henry works as well as Samuel or Alexander do with your existing names.

I can't really say why exactly but instinctively it sounds wrong.

Muhammad

I came here to say this and PP beat me to it.
Caleb? Gad? Levi?

I like them all but Samuel goes with the other names better, although if you don’t want any short versions I would go for Henry as it’s the least likely to be shortened.
My favourite of the 3 is Alexander.

I like both Alexander and Henry but Samuel was the first one I thought of, without even seeing your list. Stick with the classic Biblical style - Jake, Ben and Sam sound great together.

Samuel goes with the other names better. How about Daniel

Joshua, Ezra, Balthazar

Asher, Daniel, Raphael, Noah

Just keep using the full name. As long as DC wants to, others will follow.

how about Caleb ? From your list Samuel

Samuel

My son is Samuel. Now an adult but has always corrected anyone who calls him Sam. His dad still does it but to everyone else he is always Samuel.

Samuel.

although before I opened the thread I thought Isaac would go.

Lovely bunch of names

Ethan?

Thanks everyone - Samuel a clear leader! Also love Zebulon - had never heard that before - but think it might be the pregnancy hormones 🙈

Daniel, Joseph, Reuben, Simeon, Asher, Levi...

Alexander is an excellent name, but our experience is that shortening is inevitable once he starts school.

I really like Samuel.

However, I think with those two names Jacob, Benjamin, Isaac sounds even better.

But Jacob, Benjamin and Samuel is also really nice.

What I like about all four of these names is they are what I call "gently" biblical - like Peter or Matthew - so not as directly biblical as Malachi or Moses or Abraham etc. Not that those are bad, but I like the slightly more "mainstream" vibe.

Joseph, Rueben, Naphtali, Issachar, Dan, Gad, Zebulum, Judah, Asher, Levi or Simeon?

Brave choice of names in the current climate.

I came here to say this 😅

Alexander is my favourite.

Samuel probably “goes” best with the others - I would presume a Jewish family with sons Jacob, Benjamin and Samuel.
