Really struggling for boys name!

[daizy217]

Hi everyone

We have just found out that we have baby boy number 2 on the way. We have been thinking of names for a few weeks now and had agreed on a definite girls name but no boys names.

We already have a Joshua which is the only boys name that I truly love and could ever imagine having a son called!

Joshua gets called Josh and Joshy at the moment but I also love that when he's older he can chose to be called his full name, Joshua.

So I would really love another name that has a full name (Joshua), shortened version (Josh) and a nick name that ends in y (Joshy)!

Not much to ask I know!

I feel like I've searched every baby name website with no luck! Please help...!

I like the name Jesse for a boy 😃

Daniel (Dan, Danny)

Thank you all for your replies so far :)

Me and my husband spoke about Thomas/Tom/Tommy last night, really really liked it and thought we were sorted but the more I've thought about it today the more unsure I've become - hence the post!

But I still actually think it's my favourite out of all suggested so far.

I also like Ollie/Ol (not so much Oliver) and Zachary/Zach/Zachy but my husband doesn't like those.

My husband likes Alex which I like for an older child but not baby, does Alex/Alexander have a "baby" version that I've missed?! I'm not keen on Zander!

Sorry... I know I'm sounding super fussy! I just lover the name Joshua/Josh/Joshy so much and I really want to love our new babies name as much!
