Final two names on our list - George or Joseph (Joe) - which do you prefer?

Would be a sister to Eve.

Joseph.

As for Joseph looking 'religious' - George is the patron Saint of England. That white flag with the red cross on it worn on the English rugby team's strip is the cross of Saint George...

Joseph would be my preference though I don't like Joe much.

I think of George as being a bit stodgy.

I like Joseph (and Joe). Have never seen the attraction in George personally.

Like a PP I did immediately notice the Joseph/Eve Biblical theme, but I don't think it's a problem (my son has an old testament name and we're not religious).

Hmm not religious no, hadn't thought of the names in that context!

George unless you're religious - I prefer Joseph as a name actually, but paired with Eve there's a biblical theme which may not be what you're after?

Joseph.
