DH and I just can't decide on a name for our baby boy. Surname is Richardson.
DS1 is Dylan.

Four names in the running currently.
Which do you think is best? ☺️

Ivan
Jude
Joseph (My preference, DH not so keen)
Caleb

I've always loved Joseph but I think Jude Richardson sounds nice and goes well with Dylan.

TedWilson · 31/08/2023 22:54

Joseph or Jude!

FrogletandMe · 31/08/2023 22:54

Joseph is lovely.

Also like Josiah and Joel.

Would also suggest: -

Reuben
Rowan
Jonathan
Adam

Patrick
Charles
Jerome
Judd

I love Joseph and Caleb.

Could Jacob be a compromise?

KayEmAy · 31/08/2023 21:01

Jude or Caleb. I'm with your DH on Joseph (sorry Mom!)

Your list also makes me think of -

Jesse
Cole
Alec
Neil
Davis
Tyler
Eric
Rory
Adam

Have always loved Joseph; that would be a clear choice for me. Dylan and Joe; perfect!

IbizaToTheNorfolkBroads · 31/08/2023 20:48

Of your list, Jude, then Ivan then Joseph. I dislike Caleb.

Before I saw your list, I was going to suggest Morgan.
