Hello, as subject says, we need some first/middle name ideas. He already has three brothers: Thomas William, Franklin George and Samuel James (these are known as Tom, Frank and Sam on a day to day basis). Was thinking of Joseph Oliver or Joseph Charles, but would like to hear some other suggestions. We typically prefer more traditional names. Thanks Smile

Joseph for me, I like Joseph Charles.

Back in the day I was struggling for a middle name for my third and last son. I was browsing in the local library and found a very old book of baby names. I always liked the name Joseph, but Joe not so much so it was always going to be a middle name. Then I looked up the meaning and it said Joseph means 'addition', which it defined as 'God had added another son'. That clinched it for me, the perfect name for a third (or fourth in OP's case) son Smile

I think Joseph is the best too.
It goes well with lots of middle names.

Joseph Robert B**

I'm 25w pregnant with my first baby and we're naming him Franklin, so I was very excited to see that you have a son with the same name! Other boys names we considered: Caspar, Arthur (probably using as our son's middle name), Asher, Hugo and Theodore.
