I know they're 2 completely different names but there're the 2 we've whittled it down to but just can't decide between them.

Definitely Joseph. It's a name that won't date. Bradley sounds too much like a surname to me.

Joseph. I have one 🙂

Well I have a Bradley and I think it's a lovely name! We shorten it to Brad usually

Joseph. Bradley is such a different name, really no comparison.

Joseph is a fine classic name.
Bradley is a surname and will date badly.
It sounds like a passing fad type of name.

FluffMagnet · 15/01/2025 20:57

Joseph. Please.

Whatzzitz · 15/01/2025 20:56

Joseph is lovely. Bradley is awful

JoanCollinsDiva · 15/01/2025 20:56

Definitely Joseph. Bradley is awful imo. It sounds c-word, sorry.

Purplecatshopaholic · 15/01/2025 20:55

Joseph. Presumably Joe in reality. Bradley is err, less nice.
