We’ve finally got our shortlist down to 3 which wasn’t easy. I really love these 3 names now and would love to know what your favourite of these would be. I appreciate they are not the most ‘original’ of names and all appear in the most popular lists. However, strangely none appear to be very popular in our area ( yet! ) so we really don’t mind. Just really interested in honest thoughts when you hear each name and opinions on best name from these 3.

Joseph - Joe, Joey... love the name & the NN's!

Leo or Joseph

SmiledWithTheRisingSun · 14/10/2018 20:41

Jake or Leo.

Verbena87 · 14/10/2018 20:33

All lovely. I’d wait and see which suits him best when you see his face.

I love Joseph and Joe.

Jacob and Leo are nice too, but less timeless.

Seafoodeatit · 14/10/2018 20:32

I would go for Leo too.

NeepNeepNeep · 14/10/2018 20:32

Thinking of the nicknames he will get, I would go for Joseph.

ommmward · 14/10/2018 20:32

Joseph or Jacob :)

ThroughThickAndThin01 · 14/10/2018 20:31

Joseph but only if you like Joe.

Tough as I love all three. I'd probably opt for Joseph as it seems a bit more timeless to me, whereas Jacob and Leo will be a bit more tied to this decade (in spite of them being classic names). Joseph Leo is a wonderful combo.

wouldHAVEshouldHAVEcouldHAVE · 14/10/2018 20:26

They’re all popular where I am but Leo is my favourite. I know a million and one Jacobs.

Elllicam · 14/10/2018 20:25

Joseph Leo goes well

DramaAlpaca · 14/10/2018 20:24

Joseph or Leo for me.

EllenJanesthickerknickers · 14/10/2018 20:24

Joseph, then Jacob and finally Leo. All nice names though. Smile

jq28 · 14/10/2018 20:23

Leo

Shadow1234 · 14/10/2018 20:23

Jacob by a mile

Jacob
