Thomas
Oliver
Edward
Joseph

Any preferences?

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?
redheadbarmaid · 21/05/2017 22:25

I would go for Joseph.
Little baby Joey! !

Dontrocktheboat · 21/05/2017 22:29

Joseph definitely.

Thomas and Oliver are quite dull. Edward is ok.

CricketRuntAndRashers · 21/05/2017 22:37

Thomas.

Joseph is too "Mary & Joseph" imo and the other two are quite dull.

List your names in nn form to help you decide!!

MerlinEmrys · 21/05/2017 22:39

They're all boring sorry but if I had to pick one it'd be Edward.

Snap8TheCat · 21/05/2017 22:41

Prefer James. I know it's not on your list but it is similar in style.

PodgeBod · 21/05/2017 23:02

Edward nn Teddy

bluechameleon · 21/05/2017 23:07

I have an Edward so obviously that's my favourite, but these were all in my top ten. You clearly have good taste Grin

ScarletForYa · 21/05/2017 23:09

Joseph

SuperBeagle · 21/05/2017 23:09

I love all of them.

Depends which you like of Tom, Olly, Ed/Eddie or Joe more.

I like Eddie and Joe, so I'd choose Edward or Joseph (don't like Ted/Teddy for Edward at all though...).

Sierra259 · 21/05/2017 23:14

Joseph. Only because it's a little less common than the others. They are all lovely names.

Sophronia · 22/05/2017 00:24

Thomas or Joseph

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 22/05/2017 00:33

I love Thomas but Tom.

Buntysoven · 22/05/2017 00:33

Joseph by a million miles

YouWhatMate · 22/05/2017 00:58

Thomas

JemimaPuddleDuckle · 22/05/2017 01:35

They are all lovely names and most of them potentially have a shortening that others could use eg Tom, Joe, Ed, Ollie. Maybe deciding which of those you like best could help you decide? Congratulations.

stitchglitched · 22/05/2017 01:38

Edward. I also have one so maybe biased!

StarsAndStripes18 · 22/05/2017 02:41

Thomas. Although I may be biased as my son is Thomas but he's known as Tom.

CaipirinhasAllRound · 22/05/2017 07:03

Edward. Oliver is my least favourite as it seems the most popular to me

17caterpillars1mouse · 22/05/2017 07:04

Thomas

There are already enough Oliver's (at least around here)

Lemondrop99 · 22/05/2017 09:44

Joseph is lovely. I'd pick this.

Edward (nn Teddy) seems to be the "in thing" at the moment so I'd avoid that as I foresee classes full of Teddies in a few years.

ThroughThickAndThin01 · 22/05/2017 09:47

Joseph, but only if you like Joe.

CocoLoco87 · 22/05/2017 09:51

Joseph / Joey / Joe. Adorable!

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 22/05/2017 10:43

Joseph Thomas.

Rockaby · 22/05/2017 16:43

Thomas or Edward for me. Probably Edward if you forced me to pick between them.
