Hello again - we have narrowed down our first/middle name choices for our final and last DS4. For people who don’t know - our other sons are Thomas William (Tom), Franklin George (Frank), and Samuel James (Sam). Which of the three names do people like best? Will shorten to Joe, Charlie and Dan. Thanks Smile

I like Samuel James x

DanniArthur · 19/06/2020 12:50

Joseph Charles is my favourite from your list and IMO Joe goes best with your other sons names x

Windyatthebeach · 19/06/2020 12:51

Joseph Charles..

Peachbubble · 19/06/2020 13:02

Joseph Charles is my choice too

MrsGilly1 · 19/06/2020 13:05

Hi,

I love all your name choices. I love the name Charlie and biased as it my son's name lol.

However, I think Joseph Charles blends nicely together and goes well with your other son's names X

I like Joseph Charles, I agree that Joe sounds best with your other boys names.

howdidigettobe50something · 19/06/2020 13:13

Charlie Joseph is my favourite.

Nettleweed · 19/06/2020 13:27

I like Joseph Charles, it’s got a nice flow to it.

SageRosemary · 19/06/2020 13:44

Umm, I like the name Joesph Charles but ...
...initials JC (Jesus Christ or Jaycee sounds girlie)
... if two boys named Joe in class does he become Joe C (Josie)

I like Daniel Joseph, and the initials DJ also make a cute pet name

Laughing that sleepismysuperpower! possibly didn't get much sleep last night.

Joe, Charlie and Dan are all great names.

notangelinajolie · 19/06/2020 15:49

Joseph

bossyboo · 19/06/2020 15:53

Joseph Charles for definite Smile

Smellbellina · 19/06/2020 15:54

I think Sam and Dan are too similar, I don’t like Charlie, love Joe

littlealexhorne · 19/06/2020 15:58

Daniel Joseph

userabcname · 19/06/2020 16:06

I like Charles best

Quizeerascal · 19/06/2020 16:31

I love Joseph, can I be radical/unhelpful and say Joseph Daniel if not Joseph Charles and goes best with your other names imo

Quizeerascal · 19/06/2020 16:33

@SageRosemary he wouldn't come Joe C surely if there were multiple Joes in a class, he'd become whatever is last initial is e.g. Joe Bloggs would become Joe B

Alison051985 · 19/06/2020 16:36

@Quizeerascal love both Daniel and Joseph, and on the idea of Joseph Daniel - I think the other way round it flows nicely however Joseph Daniel is a bit of a mouthful (IMO).

@Quizeerascal both Thomas and Samuel had 2 other Toms and 1 other Sam in their year groups at school - and they never used the initials at the end of their name, they was all just “Tom” or “Sam” so I doubt this will happen.

Joseph Charles .... Love the name Charles sounds regal -& class. I could imagine an accountants or other successful business with this name.

947EliseChalotte · 19/06/2020 16:44

Also like Joe for short. Xx All the best to you and with you lovely, wonderful son to be xx

mathanxiety · 19/06/2020 16:52

Joseph Charles - Joseph is a great name and would fit really well with your other names either in long form or as Joe.

mathanxiety · 19/06/2020 16:53

Congratulations on four boys btw.

itsgettingweird · 19/06/2020 17:01

I was going to suggest Thomas Joseph until I read your OP.

My sons called that!

You have fab taste in names btw Grin

I love Charles (Charlie)

So I would go for Charles Joseph

But be aware he may get called CJ. Somehow at school my son has become TJ as he hates Tom or Tommy!
