Trix, are you serious? We want to call ours Joseph, hadn't thought of people saying that.

I think traditional names rather than unusual but at this late stage Im open to suggesions - cant believe we have no name sorted and baby is due this week.

i have a joseph and its lovely! Never been asked where mary is ! Except the nativity play rehearsals caused a problem, every time the teacher said 'joseph come and stand here (as in the nativity joseph) my joseph went and stood there, so they ended up have him as joseph !!

I immediately thought of Alexander for a boy and Charlotte for a girl. but joseph is such a llovely name most will go with it i reckon

Are these names for siblings of a Joseph? In which case I am not sure how important it is that they "go".

Dominic, Cormac, Michael, George or Patrick for a boy.

Lydia, Sarah (Sadie and Sally are lovely too and more fashionable), Rachel, Anna, Martha, Jemima, Keziah, Susannah, Leah, Ruth

I know a Joseph and Emily sibling pair and they sound marvellous together.

I think you need a traditional name.

eg.
Oliver
Samuel
Thomas
Jacob
Alexander
James
Michael
Matthew
Jonathan
Sebestian
Benjamin

For girls, again I would go for an older, more traditional name rather than a modern one.

Elizabeth
Rebecca
Hannah
Emily
Matilda

Although I do like flower names too, ad think these would wor - Poppy, Daisy, Lily, Rosie, etc. And I like softer names too such as Mollie (DD's name), Martha, Millie, etc.
