Big sigh.
Am tempted to just use it, but I guess there is no pressure. If something else comes up that excites me I can use that, but if not, then I guess the on/on thing isn't so bad.
Thanks for all the comments!!

I haven't read the whole thread but I don't think Ashton and Jackson are too similar. My name is Teresa and my sister is Melissa - fairly similar but we didn't often confuse who our parents were calling, unless it was from the other end of the property.

The names are great! They sound cute and look good too...my girls are Phiaddra and Lovitta and the only thing we were focussed on was the double letter "signature" we wanted and we forgot about the names sounding similar  Congrats!

I love the name Ashton :) That was our boy choice when we had Gabrielle.
Personally, I wouldn't worry much about what the names sound like together or what anyone thinks. You are naming your new baby, it doesn't have to be matchy, or not be matchy, it can be anything you like.
I have Gabrielle and Tane - couldn't be more different, but if someone has anything to say about it I don't really care :-)

So. For a slightly more unusual name that I quite like.... what do people think about Bryce?
I like it, but it doesn't fit our criteria of having a shorter nickname available. So, I am in two minds.
I also don't want people to see/hear it and think "what a terrible name!!"
It would be Bryce Matthew (after DH).
Any thoughts?

Hey Laurie
Bryce is quite a popular name in Wales - it means 'son of Rhys'
I think it goes well with your surname - sounds like a future novelist to me!

Ha ha. Son of Jack, and son of Rhys.
Do you think my DH will feel a little insecure?

I LOVE the name Bryce and I think it goes great with Jackson. My DH's friend Bryce gets called Brizz that is the same length as Bryce, but you know how guys love to give everyone nicknames.

i am an ece teacher and at one stage had a jackson and an ashton in the under twos at the same time. i was constantly calling them the other ones name, and they werent even brothers!
I think it may be a little too close
