Braden Michael - this is DS's name and...Noah Jacob?

eta: Braden is named after a family member whom I love desperately, I know it's a popular name at the moment and not many other names go with it. Can you suggest girl names that you think go OK with it as well? I have Emily so far and that's about it.

I think it sounds fine.  I like Noah a lot.  FWIW, I would choose a 1 or 3 syllable mn with a 2 syllable first name.

I like Noah Jacob. I think Noah and Braden sound fine together.

Sorry, but Braden sounds like one of those "made up" names.  Noah is cool.

Like Noah Benjamin? Benjamin is DH's name. All of the boy cousins on my side of the family have traditional, biblical middle names. Can you suggest any other 1 or 3 syllable ones to go with it?

I hate this. I hate that an Irish Surname that is spelled traditionally is now looked at to be a made up name because of the -ayden craze.

FWIW, like I stated in my OP, Braden was named after a family member whom I love very deeply. I can't imagine him with another name, but that doesn't mean that sometimes I wish that we lived in a different decade

I plan on possibly calling him Brady if he has too many -ayden's in his class at school.

She's not asking about Braden, bc as she stated, that is her DS's name.

I agree. And to me, two syllable first names sound just fine with two syllable middle names.

Thanks ladies! And thanks for the suggestions. I like a lot of them! I may be set on Noah Jacob if we have a boy!
