My husband and I really like Joshua, but our surname is Smith. Joshua is so far up the popularity list, is it fair on the child?
Thanks for your advice.

I agree with KangarooCaught on that one. It's not like the anonymity of John Smith, which has become a cliché; it's simply a lovely name. Joshua Smith.

Winston, Citizen or Granny would be unfair.

Joshua woyld be really lovely Smile
