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

A bit boring but fine.

Deardear17 · 21/04/2024 07:11

Love it.

Eachpeach6 · 21/04/2024 07:16

Its the only ‘classic’ name I like/would consider!

lifesrichpageant · 21/04/2024 07:17

Love love love it

RedRobyn2021 · 21/04/2024 07:17

I actually really like it, but my cousin is called Joseph so I can't use it

It's a lovely name

LuluBlakey1 · 21/04/2024 07:21

We have a Joseph- who gets Joe, Joey and Jo-Jo. He's only 9. We would definitely still choose it.

SleepingStandingUp · 21/04/2024 07:23

I think it's a good solid classic without being too old fashioned or overused and works through their ages

Axx · 21/04/2024 07:47

Love it.

MissingMoominMamma · 21/04/2024 07:50

I have a Joseph, so I’m biased. I love it!

Yirk · 21/04/2024 07:50

We have two Joes!! One old one young, its a classic name, love Joseph.

Love it.

My son has it as his middle name!

Snap!

I think he may have been duped by Mary.🤔

TeenDivided · 21/04/2024 08:19

Great name.

Nicebloomers · 21/04/2024 10:05

A fine name. I’m surprised it’s not more common. Works well at all ages. Great choice.

TeethingProbIems · 21/04/2024 12:13

I love it. I have a Joel and always wish I went for Joseph.

BoleynMemories13 · 21/04/2024 12:40

You can't go wrong with a traditional classic. Joseph is very handsome and Joe is a great day to day short form.

My close friend has a Joseph who is 2.

SleepySundaySloth · 21/04/2024 12:53

I like Joseph but I don’t like Joe as a shortened version of it. My friends son is called Joseph, he goes by Joseph or J/Jay.

Spidey66 · 21/04/2024 12:54

Lovely strong name

WaltzingWaters · 21/04/2024 12:56

Lovely. Classic but still nice/trendy rather than outdated, and not overused. I love Joey as a nn.

TheFormidableMrsC · 21/04/2024 12:59

My son is Joseph. Chosen because it's a good strong name. At school he's "Joe" but I don't shorten it because it feels weird!

Deipara · 21/04/2024 13:01

I have a Joseph!

PennyPugwash · 21/04/2024 13:02

Love it. One of my boys middles names :)

Scarletttulips · 21/04/2024 13:05

Not overly popular seeing as everyone here knows some one - 3 in my sons year they were Joseph Joe and Joey to distinguish them.

Tulipvase · 21/04/2024 13:07

I have a Joseph, Joe. I don’t know of any others in his year. Obviously I love it!

Holstomorrow · 21/04/2024 15:13

It’s a great name.
