Spencer or Joseph?

[Theresamagicalplace]

Just that really, we have girls names but cannot for the life of us come up with a boy's name we like. These two are the only two and it's because we like the short versions too (Joey, Spence). What do you think?

Spencer is less common and much more memorable! Good classic name.

Joseph is very religious and Joe is soo commonplace.

I love the name Spencer it's just the right amount of proper, cool and fun not to uptight on a little boy but plenty strong enough for your little man when he's grown up and heading off to uni

Joseph. Spencer is…I don’t know. It reminds me of pincer!

I much prefer Joseph, but I'm not a fan of Joey at all.

Spencer makes me think of that smarmy man from years ago on made in Chelsea. I know little Spencer's but I still can't get over the association.

Have you considered Dexter or Archer, similar kind of feel in my opinion.

Spencer by a mile!

Spencer definitely. Met quite a few Spencer babies lately so it’s definitely gaining popularity.

Definitely Joseph, although not a huge fan of it. I like Joe.

Spencer is a surname in my book although I know it is used as a given name.

Definitely Joseph, strong and classic. I associate Spencer with reality TV

Frank Spencer! God no.

Joseph. Spencer will always be a surname to me, if I am honest.

I like both but I prefer Spencer.

Spencer is much nicer. Joseph is a bit boring.

Love Spencer, had a good friend when I was younger called it but he was usually just Spen.
So cool.

Joseph,
Just because Spencer is always the painter from balamory to me

Joseph would be my choice

I love Joseph! The Spencer I know is constantly called Spenny by everyone and it's really put me off

Joseph, although Spencer is ok.

Joseph.

Spencer feels very 80s/90s to me. Partly because of Spencer from Big Brother and Spencer from The Hills.

Thanks for the opinions! Seems quite even at the minute which hasn't helped 😂. The name Asher someone suggested was one we considered but it didn't work with the surname unfortunately and the other name I loved was jack but with our other son's name it just made them sound like nursery rhyme characters. Any other suggestions very welcome!

Archer not Asher!

Joseph. Classic, strong but gentle. The one in our family gets called Guiseppe as a nn!

Joseph is nice.

I thoroughly dislike Spencer.

Joseph for sure

Joseph by far. Classic and beautiful. Spencer will date.

Joseph, a classic, you can’t go wrong

Spencer makes me think of side boy estate agents
