Is Joshua/Josh a bit boring?

[Strapio]

Thanks

Yes, but it's lovely and solid and does what it says on the tin.

I have a fairly common name and it's always been nice not having to spell it for anyone/have it misspelled.

Plus, as a kid (admittedly pre-internet!) I could always easily find my name on personalised stuff - my cousin with a more unusual name never could!

Nope, it's nice.

No its traditional. Means Christmas in Greek or the lord saves. It's a lovely traditional
Unpretentious name. I have one and chose it because I like both Joshua and Josh.

No, it's nice

He will be one of many.
How about Jonah/Joe?

I love that name. Don't think it's boring.

Really lovely name

Solid and strong rather than boring, in my opinion.

No - love it

I too think it is a lovely 'proper' name.
Easy to spell. Easy to pronounce.
Not particularly 'fashionable' in terms of it being identifiable to a particular 3 or 4 years.
Common enough you can find it on 'personalised' mugs / hats / keyrings / toys / etc.

I'm biased because I have a Josh (Joshua on BC) but I don't think it's boring at all.like others have said in my opinion it's a lovely, solid name. All 3 of my s have v traditional names though.

Not sure if I'd call it boring, but I don't like the sound of it, especially the Josh part.

Not boring, but well used. I'm not that keen on it but that's nothing to do with its popularity.

Joshua is nice but personally not keen on Josh.

It's not boring but DS will bring home drawings etc labelled Joshua S. Our's is only 4 and is already Joshua C. Mine was a very popular name when I grew up & I'd hoped to save our children from being one of many but it fits him perfectly and you can find toys with his name on.

I don't know any little Joshuas. I know of one who is 10 belonging to a colleague. Think it peaked about 15 years ago! I know more small Jonahs to be honest! I quite like it, prefer the full name to josh.

My Josh is definitely not boring and is the only one in his class

Yes, and Joshing means taking the piss around here.

It's a nice solid name but there are an awful lot around although as a pp said, it probably peaked about 15 years ago, or maybe a bit less.

My Josh/Joshua is at secondary now and is the only one out of his 120 year group so it's not too common. Personally I would rather have a strong solid classic traditional unpretentious name like this than some of the more pretentious slightly effeminate or ridiculous sounding names I see sometimes bandied about on here at times.

I like it OP.

No it's not I have a Joshua and I find it rude when people say it's boring it's a timeless classical name. I rather give my child a decent name not something ridiculous that will raise eyebrows I 100% agree with bright eyes

I like Joshua.

But I admittedly dislike Josh...

What about Jonah? Jonathan? Joram?

All the Joshuas I know are now in their early 20s. For me, it's a boys' name of the 1990s. I wouldn't call it classic and timeless.
