HelpBA and Help with a twin name...
BA: born over the weekend... Theo Ford, b
Question:
My cousin and his wife are having twin boys (identical!). They have decided on the name Jake for one of the boys, and want an alliterative theme. So, I am looking for your best suggestions on another J-name to match Jake.
They were going to go with Jackson, but a friend of theirs just had a little Jackson, so the name is off the table.
BTW, for those of you not crazy about matchy twin names, I am right with you. But this is the theme they chose, so I'm going with it.

First, I think of all the twin name themes you could have, alliterative is one of the least annoying (this coming from someone who loves so many A names I could easily end up with alliterative twins by accident, just by using my next two favourite names.
That being said, I don't like the idea of passing up a name you love just to fit a theme, or limiting yourself if you don't love any thing else with that letter.
Secondly, I'm really bass at J names so I don't have many ideas, but maybe:
Jake & Josh (Jacob & Joshua?)
Jake & Joel
Jacob & Jonah
Jake & Judson
Jake & Jamie
Jacob & Jasper
Jake & Jet
Jacob & Jeremy
Jacob & Jeffrey
Jake & Jarvis
Jacob & Jameson / Jamison
That's a tough one. Jacob is definitely easier to pair up.

What about:
Jake and Jed
Jake and John
Jake and Joseph
Jake and Joshua
Jake and Jesse
Jake and Jordan
Jake and Jasper
Jake and Jethro
Jake and Jude
Jake and Judah
Jake and Jonah
Jake and Jonas
Just as long as they don't go with Jake and Jack! That would be silly! Jake and Jesse is my fave.
Theo Ford is quite nice, it has a strong sound.

First, I wanted to share a thought. With many popular names, I hear people saying they can't use them because so-and-so had a child and chose this name. While I can understand, I don't think it's terrible. If you really like a name, and it's in the top 100 (you are not using, say, Persephone a month after your cousin used it) I don't think it's a big deal.Lots of baby Jacksons out there.
So, my first recommendation would be go with Jackson if you like the name.
Anyway, I could see Jake and Josh, or Jake and Jonah. I like Joaquin but it's not in the same popularity bracket so probably not the best match.

I get what you are saying. From what I believe, the mom-to-be is really close friends with the mother of Jackson, who was just born last week. Since she is due with the twins next month, she was uncomfortable using a name for her son when it was highly likely her son would be friends with and around the other Jackson a lot.
I am totally for using names that others have used. But, not if I am really close with the family or actually related to them.

Theo Ford sounds like a child mispronouncing Theodore. Can't say that I care for the combo, though either name could've been cute individually.
I'm glad that they can't use Jackson, honestly. Jake and Jack? Augh!
Jerome
Jonah
Jasper
Jefferson (I mean, since Jackson is out...)
Jedidiah
Jubal
Jeremiah
Jabez
Justin
Justus (?)
I was going to suggest Julius, but then I remembered that that's your husband's name.
