Open to anything! I’m the only one who calls DS Joseph, he is mostly known as Joe/JoJo. Names I like for boy no.2 so far are:

Benjamin
Sebastian
Freddie

Any other good choices?

Benjamin works well imo - Joe and Ben, both down to earth, well known, classic Biblical names (nothing like Ben and Jerry's to me - maybe if you had a Jeremy instead of a Joseph!).

Samuel (Sam), Thomas (Tom) and Daniel (Dan) also sound great to me with Joseph/Joe, as do fellow classics William (Will), Edward (Ed/Ned/Ted) and Alexander (Alex).

If you want something a bit more unusual, I think Nathaniel (Nate) or even Maximilian (Max) could also work (as the nicknames are more "everyday" like Joe to me).

I know siblings Joseph and Sebastian
Joseph and Alexander
Joseph and Arthur

(don't like Lucas - sorry)

Also like Noah but DH not keen. Thinks it’s too ‘middle class’. I had to break it to him that we probably are.

Love Zachary and Isaac but nephew has nabbed Zachary and imagine Isaac would become Zach which is too close.

Love Benjamin and Sebastian and Joseph. Other names which might fit could be

Oliver
Ethan
Raphael
Gabriel

MindyStClaire · 12/05/2021 19:23

Ha, DD1 would've been Joseph (Joe) and DD2 would've been Benjamin (Ben). So obviously I think you have great taste. Grin

Other names we liked included Jack, James, Daniel, Conor, Matthew.

When I was at primary school there were twins in my class; Joseph & Joshua. Ive always thought they sound great together.

HowsYourHeadHun · 12/05/2021 18:20

I met a Freddie today and he was a right little nasty boy so that's put me off the name 😂.

I have a cousin called Joe and his brother is Luke.

Like Lucas, Reuben, Thomas and a few others!

Worried that Ben and Joe sounds too much like Ben and Jerry’s? But think it’s my fave.
