Does this sound a bit of a mouthful??

[sleepyhorse]

My 2 year old boy is called Oliver, currently pregnant with a my 2nd boy....and seriously considering Joseph. Firstly do these names go together eventhough one name is biblical and the other isn't. Also do you think it sounds a bit of a mouthful with 2 long names?

They sound fine together and will probably get shortened to Ollie and Joe anyway.

Not at all, they are fine names

cool....so you don't think they sound a bit boring?

Sounds good to me...

Not boring at all, I think they are both lovely names and go perfectly together. Neither of them are that long to be honest.

nice strong boy names - lovely :)

oh thank you. You know what its so great talking to you guys about names (I know we are all complete strangers to each other) as I really feel I can't keep going on about baby names with family/friends anymore as think there is only so much they can take LOL

Great names for two boys.

Nope. They are both good staple classics, and they sound great together.

I know a pair of brothers called Oliver and Joseph (Joe) - sounds fine to me

Lovely names, and not a bit boring, and they sound so nice together. They're both old names too, and have a long history back to Norman times in Britain, so the fact that one is Biblical and one is not doesn't matter, imo.

Perfectly normal names and not long either. They are v common round my way (Hampshire) but that means nobody will bat an eyelid, certainly won't think 'Gosh that's a boring name.'

Thanks for all your comments - yep think they go lovely together don't they.

I do like Noah and Jake too...its so stressful trying to make a decision as really don't want to be regretting it months afterwards as there are so many gorgeous boys names to choose from!

I know they are all popular names but that doesn't really bother me, I'd rather go for something I know I like. (Don't think I'd be brave enough anyway to go for something to wacky/different just in case I got it wrong and then poor kid has got to live with it)

Really like them

Great choice, sounds good.

Sonds fine to me. They will be known to most people as Ollie and Jo anyway.
