Surname is two sylabbles, bit like Rivers.

So: James Rivers
Joseph Rivers

We want a James in there somewhere as it's a family name on both sides so would be:
Joseph James Rivers
or

James xxxx Rivers.

Not sure about middle name if James.

both gorgeous - depends how it sounds with your surname and whether you like Joe? (As Joseph will no doubt be shortened...) We know 3 boys called James and none are shortened but I suppose it could become Jimmy/Jamie

Both age v. well too and are easy to spell - you can't go wrong!
