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 reality TV and a surname but Joseph is a beautiful classic name. I've known a few Joseph's who go by Joe and they're lovely chaps.

Sebastian is another favourite under used name which I love and Seb makes a cool nn.

How about instead of Asher try Aiden or Austin
Instead of Joseph try Jonah or instead of Spencer try Spruce or Sawyer

Joseph, by far. Fantastic name.

Joseph

Joseph. Nn Joe. Joey sounds like a budgie!
Would Spencers middle nane be Mark?

Spencer

Joseph, but I'm biased because that's my sons name. It's a classic. His Nicknames are Joe, Joey and José (live in a Spanish speaking country so it works!). Mostly gets called Joey at the moment but I can imagine as he gets older he'll prefer Joseph.

Spencer is a cool name!

Joseph

Spencer, such a lovely name.

Definitely Joseph. Spencer is awful.

Spencer is awful. Reminds me of the vile guy from Made in Chelsea and Spencer Pratt from the hills

Joseph is lovely and a classic, also suitable for all age stages

Spencer makes me think of Frank!

Joseph is lovely though. Soft but strong

Joseph 100%. Wonderful name, works on all ages and suits all personalities.

How about Jacob if you like Jack ? Similar sound. Or Caleb ?

Tbh I'm not keen on either Joseph or Spencer, if I had to pick one of the two then I vote Joseph because Spencer sounds very surnamey and american to me (Disclaimer : I'm not british so take this for what it's worth). And Joey is a nicer nickname.

Have you looked at other Jo- names ? Joachim ? Joel ? Jonathan ?

I love Spencer! Not so keen on Joseph as a first name.

I should add that Joseph is very much an old person's name in my country. It sounds perfectly nice but if I heard the name I'd assume the bearer to be in his 90s...
