Does he have a grandad or family member you'd like to honour?

Joshua Louis

Lovely name (though I have a Joshua so am biased!). I think as Joshua is 3 syllables and your surname is 3 syllables I would go for a 1 or 2 syllable name to stop it being too much of a mouthful. What letter does your surname begin with to avoid spelling out anything with his initials, and are there any family names you’d use? Do you want another classic/biblical name?

Levi

@GailTheFish surname is E-three syllables

@miltonj well we have both grandads to potentially honour but can't deal with the headache of upsetting one. Our girls' middle names aren't named after anyone per se

Why would anyone criticize.

(We found it out when we got talking about middle names one day)
One goes by josh and the other by j (it’s been his nickname since birth)
It’s a name that goes well with most names to be honest

Ah yes it's a mine field isn't it?
I went with my own grandmas name for dds middle name, less chance of upsetting anyone as I only have the one grandma and husbands grandmas wouldn't have minded (as far as I know)
