Joseph?

[ElliotGoss]

I really like it. But is it dated? Old fashioned? Due in 2 weeks and bored to tears thinking about it!
Sister is Jessica so they will both have the same initials.

Not mad on Joseph. Don’t like joe. But If you do go for it !

Love Jessica btw!

I love it. One of my boys is Thomas Joseph, but he was nearly Joseph Thomas.
It’s a classic name but not over used these days.

I love it
💚💚

It's a lovely name, but I would avoid the same initials if you can so could it be a middle name instead?

I wanted Joseph for one of mine but I don’t like joe
I ended up with Joshua which I also loved but didn’t know of any others
Ten where born in the year after him (I’m not sore about this-much)

Joseph is a lovely name

He'll end up as Joe. I'm not keen

It’s lovely.

Love it. Really love Joe.

I have a Joseph. Never a Joe. If anyone calls him Joe he just politely tells people his name is Joseph. He's 20 now and always a Joseph. Its a great name

I like the name Joe. Joe is one of the boys. I can't say I like the name Joseph, if that's how you plan to address your son. That sounds too archaic to me these days, like Josiah, Bertram, Harold etc.

However, if you are going to address him as Joe, then I do think you should Christen him Joseph. I personally find it mildly grating when people Christen their children with short names. If you're going to call your son Harry, Christen him Henry. Ditto Jacks should be Johns, Jamies should be Jameses and Toms should be Thomases. But that's just me.

I prefer Jacob but it's fine.

Love it 😊

I love Joseph, however have had 2 DD. I nearly used Josie for DD1 but didn't want to risk not being able to use Joseph if we had a boy.

It's classic. I love it x

I really like it and love joey for NN x

Gorgeous name, love Joseph

Love it, traditional but also feels fresh

I love it, it is DS’s middle name. I wanted it was his first name, but DH knew he’d end up calling him Joe- I don’t like shortened names, so we had to change our plans (at 39 weeks, I was a bit miffed).

I love it. I won’t have any more babies but if I did it would be on my list

Joseph is lovely. I have a nephew who is always Joseph, never Joe.

It’s a nice name. Can’t really go wrong with a name like Joseph. The only thing I would think is are you planning more children? You might then feel stuck to J names since the first two have them!

I love both Joseph & Joe. I had it ready for my 2nd baby..... but then we found out we were having a girl!

Joseph and Joe both splendid names that last into adulthood, but same initials = arguments over post.

I love Joseph and would have used it if it wasn’t my nephew’s name. He’s always been Joseph, never Joe (now 21).
