A brother for Joseph

Open to anything! I’m the only one who calls DS Joseph, he is mostly known as Joe/JoJo. Names I like for boy no.2 so far are:

Benjamin
Sebastian
Freddie

Any other good choices?

I like Benjamin but wouldn’t use the name with Joseph.

Like PP’s suggestion of Matthew.

Daniel, William or Alexander?

I love Joseph and Benjamin!

Joseph and Reuben
Joseph and Nicholas
Joseph and Owen
Joseph and Adam

Benjamin / Ben is good.
Sebastian is ok (I think i'm put off it but one I used to work with who was a prize plonker)
I don't like Freddie and I don't think it goes with Joseph as well as the others

If Joseph always gets Joe then I'm probably use something that can be similarly shortened
William / Will
Samuel / Sam
Thomas / Tom
Oliver / Oli
Edward / Ed / Ted

I’ve got a Joseph, along with Dylan, Benjamin and Harrison.

Like Lucas, Reuben, Thomas and a few others!

Worried that Ben and Joe sounds too much like Ben and Jerry’s? But think it’s my fave.

I met a Freddie today and he was a right little nasty boy so that's put me off the name 😂.

I have a cousin called Joe and his brother is Luke.

Ha, DD1 would've been Joseph (Joe) and DD2 would've been Benjamin (Ben). So obviously I think you have great taste. Grin

Other names we liked included Jack, James, Daniel, Conor, Matthew.

Adventing · 12/05/2021 20:00

Love Benjamin and Sebastian and Joseph. Other names which might fit could be

Oliver
Ethan
Raphael
Gabriel

MrsCremuel · 12/05/2021 20:03

Also like Noah but DH not keen. Thinks it’s too ‘middle class’. I had to break it to him that we probably are.

Love Zachary and Isaac but nephew has nabbed Zachary and imagine Isaac would become Zach which is too close.
