Joshua or Joseph?

[atrcts]

Can't decide!

Got to register him tomorrow - help!!!!

Joshua cos I like Josh for a teen and as a baby nn I like Joshi
I wanted Joshua Jack so could shorten to JJ but my DH vetoed on the grounds that Joshua was too posh and no to JJ as 'we're not American'
Know two Josephs both known as Joe - not keen myself but am in the minority here

I like both.

DS is a Joseph (Joe) and I love it. I wish it were a little less popular for his age (13), as he's always Joe Initial, but he doesn't seem to mind :)

Either is lovely

Joseph

I marginally prefer Josh to Joe especially for an older boy, so it would be Joshua for me.

[Sanjifair]

Joshua would be my choice.

Joseph - timeless and dignified!

Thank you all for your confirmation I am not going completely bonkers! (sleep deprivation will make a girl doubt her decision-making skills!!!)

I cancelled the registrar appointment and bought us some rome, then talked to Hubby again. This time, after some sleep himself, he was happy to discuss it and said he also was beginning to prefer Joseph if he was honest.

Now all he have to do us persuade our poor (now very confused) 3 year old that his baby brother is not called Joshua after all....
