Really struggling to think of boy names. Hubby likes Joshua and I'm not sure. Please inspire us with names!

Thanks so much for all the replies. I wasn't sure if Joshua was a very popular name. I'm a teacher and not encountered many but wasn't sure. Will think about it! Love some of the suggestions too! Smile

I think Joshua is dated now. The Joshuas I know are around age 30 and having their own children.

Enough4me · 14/01/2021 23:55

I don't think Josh or Joshua is dated, I know a 10 yr old and an early 20s Josh. I prefer it to Joseph and Jacob.
