We are thinking of Joseph, just wondering what people's views were.

It's lovely. Classic and strong, plus Joe is a great nickname. (Disclaimer I have a Joseph)

I really like Joseph - a great classic

Gorgeous

Blondiiiii · 20/04/2024 23:14

Yes! Big fan

SomeBollocks · 20/04/2024 23:15

Love it

BrandyandGinger · 20/04/2024 23:15

Timeless name, not overused, and Joe or Joey are great nicknames. I really like it.

CelesteCunningham · 20/04/2024 23:15

I like it. Admittedly I didn't love any boys names, but DD1 would've been Joseph, probably Joe day to day.

BodyKeepingScore · 20/04/2024 23:15

I think it's a good solid name. Works for a young child and into adulthood 😊

Soonenough · 20/04/2024 23:16

Two people I know have Joseph and Joey . Both called Joey . Also can be Jody .

NoSnowdrop · 20/04/2024 23:17

One of my favourite names!

Joseph is lovely. Mellifluous.

I like Joe too though it's a much stronger sound.

SilverBranchGoldenPears · 20/04/2024 23:26

I can’t imagine anyone NOT liking the name Joseph. Awesome name.

theduchessofspork · 20/04/2024 23:32

Nice name, not too underdone right now

Dillydollydingdong · 20/04/2024 23:35

Perfect. Known as Joey.

Same here! He is now 36, and is known as Joe. When he was a baby he was frequently called Jo Jo- but he'd hate that now!!. Lovely name all round.

boydcrowderfallsout · 20/04/2024 23:59

Absolutely love it

CulturalNomad · 21/04/2024 00:01

Love it; definitely classic (and classy as well)!

DramaAlpaca · 21/04/2024 00:02

I like it very much. I don't like any of the diminutives though, so one of my sons has it as a middle name.

cavernclub · 21/04/2024 06:52

Can't go wrong

JennyForeigner · 21/04/2024 07:03

Love it. Lobbied hard and managed to get it as a middle name for one of ours.

AyrshireTryer · 21/04/2024 07:06

He was Jacob's favourite son, of all the family Joseph was the special one.

DrJoanAllenby · 21/04/2024 07:07

Lovely name.

itsgettingweird · 21/04/2024 07:07

Love it.

My son has it as his middle name!

patchworkpal · 21/04/2024 07:08

Great name
