Another vote for Joseph - both great names though

Oliver.

Beautiful name and popular for a reason.

Joseph

Ive not stopped getting compliments for the name for the last 6 months Grin (not in the UK)

I prefer Oliver but Joseph is less popular and still nice so if popularity bothers you then go for that.

Joseph :-)I have a baby due in march and if it's a boy I'm trying to convince dh he should be a Joseph Grin
