Daniel, Ben or Joe? (It would just be Joe, not Joseph)

Siblings are Phoebe and Luke. Thank you!

Joe

Daniel

Ben

Joe for sure. I work in a school and we have quite a few Daniels, and I’ve noticed Ben has suddenly had a popularity surge with new siblings being born.
And Joe is a lovely name anyway!

I like them all but Ben is my favourite. If we have a son, he'll be Ben(jamin).

Really like Ben

Joe

Daniel. You can get away with just Ben these days but if you're gonna use Joe, you should definitely put Joseph on the birth certificate.

If it would definitely be Ben or Joe rather than Benjamin or Joseph then Daniel for sure.

If you would consider using the full version of the names on the birth certificate then they are all nice.

Ben

But Benjamin on the birth certificate

Joe.

We have a Joe who is just Joe, not Joseph, and he’ll be 20 next month and is a bloody wonderful fella.

I don't think you can go wrong with any of those they are all great names! Go with your gut.

Ben. Such a lovely name and can be Benjamin for when they're an adult if they choose.

Daniel for sure, lovely

Ben. I have one. I like Joe also.

If you are only planning three children then Ben, because Benjamin means youngest son in some languages

You could consider Benedict as well.

Daniel

I love all those names! Sorry that's no help

Ben or Joe. My BIL is Ben, he's 42 and a very senior Lawyer. His name is Benjamin (I think) but nobody has ever called him that and Ben is a perfectly acceptable name for a child or adult. Joe is also a perfectly neutral name which works excellently for an adult or child. My name is a nickname on my BC. At no point in my life have I wished that I had the choice to use another name. Why would I? I have a name.

3 really lovely names and ones you don’t actually hear very often
Honestly can’t pick - sorry 🙈

Daniel. Lots of Joes at my school. Ben ok but always think it sounds a bit small and soft.

Our son is Daniel. It was the only boys name we liked and was decided from when I was pregnant if we had a boy he would be Daniel (we only use his full name as not keen on Dan or Danny tbh, no offence just personal preference, but when he's old enough if he'd prefer a shortened version then he can not by me though).

Ben ok but always think it sounds a bit small and soft.

That is so interesting. I think that it's a really strong, neutral, classless name which works for everyone. I find Benjamin a bit wet but love Ben
