Maybe think which nn you would prefer.
Joe, Joey,

Are you giving birth to a fifty year old golf-playing solicitor from Surrey? If so crack on with Robin . If not then it's Joseph every time .

tickyandtackyandjackythebacky · 20/07/2017 17:31

Joseph hands down!

RiverTam · 20/07/2017 17:33

Robin

GinIsIn · 20/07/2017 17:36

I like Robin.

How about Gabriel?

DesperatelySeekingSushi · 20/07/2017 17:37

Joseph
Better than Robin, Noel, Nikolaus, Christopher and Holly johnson put together!
But I quite like Gabriel and Christian despite not being very religious myself.

Jooni · 20/07/2017 17:40

I love Robin!

Boreoff · 20/07/2017 17:46

Thanks for the responses. I like Gabriel too.
Wow kittensinmydinner1 I get that Robin isn't to your taste but calm down!

I like Joseph! Also if you're looking for Christmassy names how about Noel? ;)

MillieMoodle · 20/07/2017 18:02

I like Balthazar. One of the three kings Wink

But really, I'd go for Joseph!

DesperatelySeekingSushi · 20/07/2017 18:02

Shag Fielding
Marry Gallagher
Push off a cliff Edmonds (but it would be a close thing between him and Fielding)

DesperatelySeekingSushi · 20/07/2017 18:04

Sorry, that was in reply to how about Noel?!
Magi? Caspar is cool if not a bit ghosty

toptomatoes · 20/07/2017 18:05

Joseph!

Def Joseph

thisismadness77 · 20/07/2017 18:17

Both lovely!

OrangeSeville · 20/07/2017 18:17

Love Robin

PotteringAlong · 20/07/2017 18:22

Robin

Lemondrop99 · 20/07/2017 18:37

Robin

MarmaladeAtkinsX · 20/07/2017 18:44

i like them in their own right but do Wonder if your DS will like having a themed name when he's older?

mistermagpie · 20/07/2017 18:50

Oh I love Gabriel, if I have another boy that's what he would be called.

Joseph is a bit dull but I like Robin, you never hear of it these days. I have one friend called Robin and he gets Bobby quite a lot though, so you would need to be alright with that.

CleverQuacks · 20/07/2017 18:55

My youngest is called Robin. He isn't a Christmas baby but I just love the name. It's not very common either.
