Joseph definitely.

Thomas and Oliver are quite dull. Edward is ok.

Thomas.


Joseph is too "Mary & Joseph" imo and the other two are quite dull.

They're all boring sorry but if I had to pick one it'd be Edward.

Prefer James. I know it's not on your list but it is similar in style.

I have an Edward so obviously that's my favourite, but these were all in my top ten. You clearly have good taste Grin

I love all of them.

Depends which you like of Tom, Olly, Ed/Eddie or Joe more.

I like Eddie and Joe, so I'd choose Edward or Joseph (don't like Ted/Teddy for Edward at all though...).

Joseph. Only because it's a little less common than the others. They are all lovely names.

Thomas or Joseph

Thomas

They are all lovely names and most of them potentially have a shortening that others could use eg Tom, Joe, Ed, Ollie. Maybe deciding which of those you like best could help you decide? Congratulations.

Edward. I also have one so maybe biased!

Thomas. Although I may be biased as my son is Thomas but he's known as Tom.

Edward. Oliver is my least favourite as it seems the most popular to me

Thomas

There are already enough Oliver's (at least around here)

Lemondrop99 · 22/05/2017 09:44

Joseph is lovely. I'd pick this.

Edward (nn Teddy) seems to be the "in thing" at the moment so I'd avoid that as I foresee classes full of Teddies in a few years.

Joseph, but only if you like Joe.

Joseph Thomas.

Thomas or Edward for me. Probably Edward if you forced me to pick between them.
