WDYT of this sibset?

Braden Michael (big brother) and Jacob Declan (expecting)?

I really want to incorporate another Irish name and another Hebrew name, but I'm not sure if it goes well with big brother's name? FWIW, I have been through a gazillion names and when we say Jacob, it's the only one that really feels right.

I think Jacob is a good choice with Braden.

I think Declan is a tiny bit out of step style wise. All the other names are much more familiar to most people. That said, I like Declan, it's getting more popular, and It fits your criteria.

Overall, good choice.

Can you recommend another middle name? I'm not 100% sold on Declan at this point. Thanks!

If you want something more familiar: Ryan, Colin, Connor, Liam.

If you want something a little more emphatically Irish: Seamus,  Patrick, Kieran.

I think Jacob Liam would be a good style match with Braden Michael. The drawback is that both names are so popular. I also like Jacob Patrick. But Jacob Declan is fine, really.

I really like Jacob...even though it is incredibly popular. Declan is okay in the MN spot.

I really like Jacob. Declan is NMS, but I can tolerate it in the MN spot. Other suggestions: Jacob Henry, Jacob Benjamin, Jacob Connor... I like PP's suggestion of Jacob Patrick for something Irish.

It's a good, strong, real name. I like it. Not made up :)
