Mine is now a clicky poll too - boy name!

DS is Braden Michael. My only criteria is that this little boy's name has to go well (not match) his brother's and it has to flow well.

I am down to two as of now - Declan James and Jacob Matthew. Which do you prefer? Any other suggestions? Or suggestions for MNs for Jacob?

Popularity doesn't bother me at all.

Which name goes the best?


  • Declan James (37%)
  • Jacob Matthew (59.8%)
  • Neither - I have a different suggestion! (3.1%)
  • Total Votes: 127

Someone else told me how :) You have to stop the page from loading just at the right time to reveal a box under your post box that allows you add a poll.

I think Jacob is a better style match with Braden.

Ok, thanks!  Now I'm going to make my self crazy trying to stop the page from loading!

I like both of your middle names and in my opinion you can't go wrong with a classic like Jacob.  Declan I just don't get.  Maybe because I don't know how to pronounce it, have never met one, and don't know what heritage it is from.  For some reason it makes me think of a brand of tools I would find at Home Depot. But, that is probably just my clueless-ness.

Lol - It is derived from an Irish surname, as Braden is derived from a Gaelic surname. I have an Irish heritage which is why I lean that way with my names. However, I like Jacob too. I'm just having a very rough time with names this time around and DH doesn't have any suggestions and is fine with whatever I pick - a blessing and a curse!

Even though Jacob is insanely popular I really like Jacob Matthew.  I am not a fan of Declan at all.

I chose Jacob Matthew -- not my style but still, I like those names on a boy. It's classic... you can't go wrong.

I love the name Jacob

I don't like that both names would end in "N" otherwise

I love the names. You may also like Caleb? I like the sound of Caleb James if I chose a mn.

Jacob by a mile. I really dislike Declan and have never understood the appeal.

Caleb is my nephew's name and all of my siblings live within 10 minutes of each other and see each other all the time, so we couldn't use it. I do love it though.

The cousins' names are:

Haley Brianne
Bryce James
Tyler Andrew
Grace Elizabeth
Caleb Joshua
Parker Daniel
Braden Michael and
Avalee Rayne


Braden (7.25.10) & Nolan (EDD 5.11.13)
