Hi, I'm stuck between 2 names I basically like them the same amount so it's really hard to choose.
Can you help sway me either way?

Thanks x

I love both and we have several of both names in our family across the generations. I would say that both Joshuas and their parents have had comments about it being a “naughty boy” name, if that would bother you 🙄 Although, I think the whole “naughty boy” name thing comes with a side helping of classism and snobbery.

I think I prefer Josh but wanted to see the public opinion in case my taste is awful, everyone seems to lean toward one or the other. 😂

Josh isn't awful! It might not be to everyone's taste but it's a lovely name with a long history. They both are xx

Don’t decide now. Decide when your baby is born. One name will suit him.

Both great names.

I like them both. Nothing wrong with either of them. (Helpful!) Do you prefer Josh or Alex? I think Alex has the edge for me.
