Thinking of using Joseph but DH isn't keen on most biblical names. We like classic names that aren't really popular, ie Thomas, Arthur (as its booming in popularity right now)

Others we like but can't use: Gabriel, Jesse, William, Edward, Kit

One I like but DH doesn't is Elliot.

Hope that gives an idea for some more suggestions in case I am unable to convince DH to go with Joseph! ☺️

I love Robert, timeless and can have many NN if wanted, Rob, Robbie, Bob, Bobby.

I also REALLY love Elliot... more than Joseph!

Peter is gorgeous @whatsyourflava I'll mention that to DH. I really like Tristan too actually.

Still stuck on Joseph and Elliot ❤️❤️

Rowan?

Joseph and Elliott are nice though. Elliott might be better for you though, as I don't think it's biblical Smile.
