George or Joseph

[SunshineAndFizz]

Final two names on our list - George or Joseph (Joe) - which do you prefer?

Would be a sister to Eve.

George.

George

Joseph.

George unless you're religious - I prefer Joseph as a name actually, but paired with Eve there's a biblical theme which may not be what you're after?

Hmm not religious no, hadn't thought of the names in that context!

George is nicer, but I do like Joseph

Joseph.

Joseph

George!

I like Joseph (and Joe). Have never seen the attraction in George personally.

Like a PP I did immediately notice the Joseph/Eve Biblical theme, but I don't think it's a problem (my son has an old testament name and we're not religious).

George

Joseph would be my preference though I don't like Joe much.

I think of George as being a bit stodgy.

Joseph.

As for Joseph looking 'religious' - George is the patron Saint of England. That white flag with the red cross on it worn on the English rugby team's strip is the cross of Saint George...

I have a George who was named after my grandad who was named, as many were, after King George, lovely DS lovely name.

I have a minor prejudice against George, at least the English version, because...it sort of feels like it doesn't need so many letters. It's one of those perfectly pleasant & unremarkable names where the longer you look at it, the odder it looks written down.

So I would go with Joseph, if I had to pick one of the two.

Both solid names that won't date - again Joseph might have the edge here as definitely less fashionable.

Joseph, hands down.

Joseph. I really dislike George. It's just not a pleasant sounding name and all the ones I've known have been arses.

Joseph
I've never liked the sound of George.

Joseph definitely, not a fan of George

George

Joseph

Interesting. I wondered if there'd be one clear winner but it's a fairly even split so far.

Joseph

Joseph

love Joe

I love both. Both great names - good for boys and men.
