Nicholas or Joseph?

[DJ1990]

To go with brother Alexander and sisters Lydia and Iris. I lean towards Nicholas as it’s a bit more uncommon now, and Nick seems a bit cooler than Joe. But am still interested to gather other opinions. The middle name will be Mark, cheers

Joseph gets my vote. Not mad keen on Nicholas or Nick. Your other names are all lovely choices!

Joseph ❤️

Joseph every day of the week

I prefer Nicholas but would use Nico for a nn. Both are lovely names though!

Joseph

Joseph. Never known a nice Nick!

Joseph

Nicholas

I dislike Joe/Jo.

Joseph. Never known a nice Nick!

I've known loads!

Prefer Joseph

Both are lovely and go nicely with Alexander, Lydia & Iris. All such nice names. I think I would pick Nicholas just because it’s a bit more unusual.

I like both!

I also like Peter!

Nicholas by a long way!

O have an Alexander and a Joseph I think their Both lovely names and they seem to like them ! They are 28 and 31 by the way . They are good names as children and as adults which I think is important. Hope all goes well whatever you decide!

Nicholas by quite a way. I like Joseph but it’s a different style to your other DC names.

Tough choice, I love both! I'll vote Nicholas though as it's slightly less popular (I think).

I like both but would choose Nicholas. I know many nice male Nicks.

Joseph, nn Joe.

My 10 month old is Nicholas, took me a while to love it as much as I do, always get comments about how lovely it is and there aren't many around, his nickname has turned into Noodles somehow but I'm not mad keen on Nick yet... luckily my 4 year old corrects people who call him nick with nothing Nick... baby Nicholas'

I love both, but I'd go for Nicholas.

Another vote for Nicholas! Ours is Nic -I prefer the look without a k - but was Nicky when younger.

Prefer Nicholas. I know 3, all lovely and none of them get names shortened.

Nicholas.
I have a Nicholas and an Alexander.

Joseph! Absolutely love it!!

Nicholas - love that (and Nick).
