Joshua or Joseph?

[ValentinaLouise]

Which name do you prefer?

Joseph.

They were both done to death at the turn of the century but because Joseph had been consistently fairly popular until then it feels classic. Despite being a very old name Joshua was fairly unusual before the 90s and it therefore feels a bit more dated.

Oh I absolutely adore both of these names ! They were on the list for my boys but I don't like Josh or Joe and just know they would get shortened in time !

If I had to pick one, I'd choose Joseph.

Joseph, my son’s middle name, chosen after his Great Grandad “Joe” - Love the name.

Joshua I really dislike.

I've got a Joseph. I don't shorten it.

Hmmm I'd go Jake or Jack over both.

My son is a 28 year old Josh and we have never actually met another Josh . He is awesome and a lovely inside and out. He is stupidly intelligent and an ecologist.

Both nice names but I'd choose Joshua

Joseph (DS is a Joseph) but like Joshua too

My son is Joshua and as he's got older we call him Josh so I love the name. I also love Joseph but didn't choose it as my name is Jo and didn't want two Jo/Joes!

Joseph

Joseph

Joseph

Joseph for sure. It’s a great name with lots of nickname potential, JoJo is really nice. I’ve never liked the name Joshua/Josh. In fact I’ve only known one would would be in his 40s now who uses the whole name.

Joseph - beautiful name
