Middle name for Joseph

[mrsdrablowsbittersister]

DP's pick. It's fine but I don't love it, though happy to go with it because it means so much to him (family name). My other children have a totally different style of names which are a bit more unusual so I want a middle name which is more me. Any ideas?

Names I like: Alexander (boring with Joseph?), Hugo, Rafferty, August, Otto, Teddy. Leaning towards Hugo but it doesn't feel quite right. Help!

I like august and Otto as mn’s

I also like Joseph Alexander though and don’t think it sounds dull

what types of names did you choose for your other dc?

Joseph Alaric
Joseph Linus
Joseph Benedict
Joseph Inigo

Joseph. Jeremiah

Joseph Mario

I have a Joseph but only ever called Joe. His middle names are Daniel (his Dads first name and Mark his Grandads first name)

Joseph Alexander sounds lovely

Alexander - not boring with Joseph.Would initials form a word
Hugo - too trendy as a first name
Rafferty - don't like it as a first name. Looks like a surname as a middle name
August - it's an adjective or a month, doesn't flow well
Otto - doesn't really go
Teddy - Joseph Teddy sounds like a lingerie item from a King's Road boutique

You could use a family name from your side. Are there any names you like that you don't like the short forms - Joseph Francis or Joseph Anthony or something?
