A Brother For Joseph

Boy Names
1

Our first son is [name]Joseph[/name] [name]Zachary[/name]. My husband wants the next baby to have the same middle name but I have no idea what to pair with [name]Zachary[/name] this time around. I don’t want another ‘J’ name because the boys would have the same exact initials and I want some individuality. Our last name is Montanaro. I’m open to pretty much anything except for “older” names like [name]Norman[/name] and [name]Oswald[/name].

What about [name]Daniel[/name]? I always thought [name]Joseph[/name] and [name]Daniel[/name] pair wonderfully.

Is there a reason why you want your children to have the same MNs? If you had a daughter, would she also have the MN [name]Zachary[/name]? I’m just curious. I’ve never been a fan of the whole siblings sharing a MN, but I’m sure you have your reasons. :slight_smile:

Other ideas:
[name]Seth[/name]
[name]Micah[/name]
[name]Noah[/name]
[name]Henry[/name]
[name]James[/name]/[name]Jameson[/name]
[name]Nicholas[/name]
[name]Cole[/name]
[name]Caleb[/name]
[name]Andrew[/name]
[name]Jack[/name]
[name]Jacob[/name]
[name]Isaac[/name]
[name]Oliver[/name]
[name]Patrick[/name]
[name]William[/name]
[name]Hudson[/name]
[name]Gavin[/name]
[name]Grant[/name]
[name]Theodore[/name]

Good luck!

Maybe other, 2-syllable, familiar Biblical names would work? Or some 1- and 3- syllable?

[name]Andrew[/name] [name]Zachary[/name] M.
[name]Benjamin[/name] [name]Zachary[/name] M. (this name is a little long, but I think it works enough)
[name]Caleb[/name] [name]Zachary[/name] M.
[name]Daniel[/name] [name]Zachary[/name] M.
[name]David[/name] [name]Zachary[/name] M.
[name]Elijah[/name] [name]Zachary[/name] M.
[name]Gabriel[/name] [name]Zachary[/name] M.
[name]Isaiah[/name] [name]Zachary[/name] M.
[name]Luke[/name] [name]Zachary[/name] M.
[name]Mark[/name] [name]Zachary[/name] M. (I think alliteration that works)
[name]Matthew[/name] [name]Zachary[/name] M. (ditto above)
[name]Malachi[/name] [name]Zachary[/name] M. (ditto above, I think)
[name]Nathan[/name] [name]Zachary[/name] M.
[name]Nathaniel[/name] [name]Zachary[/name] M. (ditto [name]Benjamin[/name])
[name]Noah[/name] [name]Zachary[/name] M.
[name]Paul[/name] [name]Zachary[/name] M.
[name]Peter[/name] [name]Zachary[/name] M.
[name]Thomas[/name] [name]Zachary[/name] M.

Anyway, I don’t think you’re limited to Biblical names at all, they just come to mind naturally. Anything here you like?
