Are you giving birth to a fifty year old golf-playing solicitor from Surrey? If so crack on with Robin . If not then it's Joseph every time .

Joseph
Better than Robin, Noel, Nikolaus, Christopher and Holly johnson put together!
But I quite like Gabriel and Christian despite not being very religious myself.

I like Joseph! Also if you're looking for Christmassy names how about Noel? ;)

I like Balthazar. One of the three kings Wink

But really, I'd go for Joseph!

Push off a cliff Edmonds (but it would be a close thing between him and Fielding)

i like them in their own right but do Wonder if your DS will like having a themed name when he's older?

Oh I love Gabriel, if I have another boy that's what he would be called.

Joseph is a bit dull but I like Robin, you never hear of it these days. I have one friend called Robin and he gets Bobby quite a lot though, so you would need to be alright with that.

My youngest is called Robin. He isn't a Christmas baby but I just love the name. It's not very common either.
