Joseph or Oliver

[Mrsgrumble]

Thank you

Think this is the final two

Oliver is sooooo popular. I much prefer Joseph.

Joseph by a mile

Joseph. And as a NN, Joe is better than Oli imo.

Joseph.

I have a Joseph. Brilliant name and I have never regretted it. Also has the added bonus of being able to call him Joebe Wan Kinobe

I love both!

I have an Oliver, shortened to Ollie. Know far more Josephs than I do Olivers.

I love the name Joseph

I have a Joseph so I'm biased. Still my very favourite boys name.

I have an Oliver so obviously love it but Joseph is really nice too!

I think I am swaying towards Jospeph - seasonal aspect too

Not with that wierd spelling of Joseph .. Sorry

I also have a Joseph born in December.

Like them both, but love the name Joe, so Joseph for me.

Joseph. There are far far too many Olivers.

I have an Oliver Joseph

I have a Joseph although everyone calls him Joe. He's the only one in his school and I still really like the name. Good for man and boy and not crazily popular.

Again I'm biased.

Joseph. Oliver v popular at mo.

Joe as far too many Oliver's

I think Oliver was at the top of the charts last year? We already have a Joseph and will probably use Olivier (i.e. Oliver in French) as a middle name for DS2 (DH is French), but it is not so popular in France. We can't decide about the first name for the new baby though!

Joseph definitely though Oliver is lovely it is so overused these days.

Definitely Joseph, I'm so fed up of hearing Oliver. Plus Joseph is a much stronger name

Where do you live? I think there is a lot of regional variation in how popular the name Joseph is whereas Oliver is universally popular. There are still a lot of Joseph and Joes here (Yorkshire), but my sister claims not to come across many in the South East.
