We are registering our DS this weekend but cannot agree on a name. Our shortlist includes Jacob, Henry (Harry) and Richard and we are looking for something traditional that goes with the name Joseph. We’d like to avoid overly popular names. Any suggestions please?

Dominic is classic but not too overly used

I like Jacob best here. Nicholas?

I like Richard best with Joseph btw. Harry is done to death where I live. It has been well used for decades now and the Harrys just keep on coming! It’s a nice name, but the commonness would put me off personally.

Henry is lovely and pretty well used but nowhere near as much as Harry.

Richard is unusual among young boys ime. We had one at a toddler class, who must be 4 by now, but he is the only one I’ve met.

Jacob is a bit too like Joseph imo. Both lovely names though.

Sorry, is Joseph his first name or the name of his brother?
