So - we both love the name [name]Alexander[/name] - very traditional but very strong. But a name to go with it should we have another boy - we really like the name [name]Jarrad[/name]. It’s a family name that has come down my husbands family (who are from French origins) and I wasn’t too sure at first but it really has grown on me. I do love [name]Gabriel[/name] too but not too sure that it goes with [name]Alexander[/name] and I do worry that the poor child might have a tough time especially at [name]Christmas[/name]…
So thoughts on [name]Jarrad[/name] please?? Or is there an alternative that will go well with [name]Alexander[/name]?
Many thanks
[name]Alexander[/name] and [name]Gabriel[/name] are both in my Top 5, and I wouldn’t hesitate to use them for brothers if I could get DH on board with [name]Gabriel[/name]. [name]Jarrad[/name] is very different in style from both names and not really to my taste, but it would sound great in the middle with either of them! There’s also the similar [name]Jared[/name], [name]Jareth[/name], or maybe even [name]Gerald[/name], but I still like [name]Gabriel[/name] the best as a brother to [name]Alexander[/name].
Yes - [name]Jarrad[/name] as a middle name would be better BUT we already would be looking at an [name]Indian[/name] middle name ( [name]Alexander[/name] Krishan) and I don’t want poor baba to have a right mouthful of a name…Especially as the surname is double barrelled…Decisions decisions!
I can’t take [name]Jarrad[/name] very serious because it seems like misspelled [name]Jared[/name] to me. Also, [name]Alexander[/name] [name]Jarrad[/name] doesn’t flow very well and makes me think of [name]Jared[/name] Leto who played in a movie called “[name]Alexander[/name]”.
I agree [name]Alexander[/name] [name]Gabriel[/name] flows better.
Similar to [name]Jarrad[/name]: [name]Gareth[/name], [name]Garett[/name], [name]Jareth[/name] and [name]Jareb[/name].
I really do love the name [name]Gabriel[/name]. The reason I worry about teasing is that a [name]Gabriel[/name] I knew had such a hard time at [name]Christmas[/name] because of the [name]Angel[/name] [name]Gabriel[/name] - wasn’t very pleasant for him. This happened in [name]England[/name] maybe different in the US???
But am loving [name]Gabriel[/name] and hubby does too
