Riley or Joshua?

[Louisejames31]

Or neither? Baby brother for son charlie

Thanks for your replys everyone. I've told my partner riley is a definite no I'm warming more to the idea of joshua now , I don't mind if its quite popular so is my other sons name Charlie.
Ideas on middle names or other name suggestions would be appreciated:-)

Oooh I love middle names. What's your taste?

Joshua Benedict?
Joshua James (JJ as another nickname option. Cute on a baby)?
Joshua Philip?

I think ideally you want something without a vowel ending.

I really like joshua James and jj but my other sons middle name
James so it might be abit wierd them both having the same middle name

Joshua Nathan
Joshua Scott
Joshua David
Joshua Conrad
Joshua Christian
Joshua Harrison
Joshua Jackson

Joshua John?

My friend has 2 sons called Charlie and Riley.

Joshua is waaay better than Riley

Surnames Cunningham..
Joshua riley
Joshua David (father inlaw)
Joshua Thomas (brother)
Joshua Joseph
Joshua....???
Riley Joseph
Riley...???

Joshua David is nice with your surname.

Unfortunately Charles and James both go really well

Joshua Robert? Joshua Timothy? Joshua Paul? I think it suits something quite 'old school'.

I know joshua James go really well together Its a shame its my sons middle name. I think joshua David sounds good although I'm not a lover of David. I might not even have joshua yet its the only name that we have agreed on so far. How hard is it to find a name you both like! Thanks for your suggestions

I think boys names are particularly hard. DS was unnamed for nearly a week.

Joshua is really nice. And I like Josh.

Josiah was always one of my favourites. I loved the West Wing and loved Josiah Edward (the name of a main character, if you never watched it). I didn't use it though.

What is your taste generally? Charlie (or is it Charles) James is very classic. Is that what you're aiming to replicate?

Charlie James.Yes I think I prefer more classic names and my partner seems to prefer more unusual or surname type names . So its. Hard to find one we both like . How do you pronounce josiah I'm not sure about that one ;)

Jo-sy-ah. It's old testament. It was just the only other name I knew that could shorten to Josh

Ah right I've never heard of that before its different I prefer joshua or josh maybe I'm just abit boring thanks for your suggestions

Like Josh or Joshua. Really dislike Riley!

Who is Katie Hopkins?

Joshua
Jonah
Jacob / Jake
Noah
Samuel
Zach

Frankie
Louis
Archie
Ben
Gus
Gabriel

I like Josiah too.

For trad, how about Edward? You could shorten to Ed or Ned which your partner might like?

Riley is nasty - glad it's a no!

Good middle names for Joshua:

Joshua Joseph
Joshua Edwad
Joshua Liam
Joshua David
Joshua Riley? - ok as a middle?

Others which may get past your partner and would fit with Charlie:

Rory
Richard (Richie?)
Daniel (Dan, or Dash even?)

Rory?

Joshua. Its what I wanted to call my little boy.

Joshua! Riley is dreadful.

Another vote for Joshua. Sounds lovely with Charlie too.

Ha, I'm a Charlie and my brother is a Joshua!

I really, really don't like Riley.
