Nicknames for Joseph

Hi, I’m having name regret for my youngest son which I can’t shake. He’s too old to change his name so I’m trying to find peace with an alternative nickname (that’s not Joe or Joey) I can use instead which is linked to his name without looking too contrived/try hard. From reading other posts the consensus is that Zeph / Seph is too far removed and people wouldn’t associate this with Joseph……thoughts please?

My Joseph is Joss - it's a North Western nickname

Or you could go Jos as in Jos Butler

Please don’t regret Joseph. It’s a fabulous name that will never date.

Does he need a nickname? DH has a cousin who is always called Joseph. I do like Seph though and I don't think it really matters that people may not associate it with Joseph

I love the name Joseph, I also like Joe, I think you've chosen well.
