Can I ask your thoughts on Joseph please?

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

Gorgeous name, I love it.

A really good name. I love it.

Love it.

I've got a Joseph. Was always JoJo when younger, which turned to Joseph, and in his teens turned to Joe. Still love it but it is quite common.

Really nice. It's on our list for a second boy. We already have an Isaac so we like our biblical names!

I have a Joseph born on Christmas Eve. Everyone presumed that's why he was Joseph but actually we'd picked the name out when we first started ttc 5 years previously (when we obviously had no clue about the due date!). Great name

My dads middle name (he is 75)

Always seems a great name whoever I hear it on and not commonplace

I don't much like Jo (female) though..

My boy is Joseph. Joe. Joe Joe Rabbit (he’s 26) x

I have a Joseph (Joe) and only came on this thread with a wince to see what the consensus would be. I’m delighted for all the love for the name! We love it, and he’s always Joe now and it’s not common where we live at all. There was only one in his year group of 60.

Love it.

It's a brilliant name.

Love it. Was on the list for DD.

Good name. I know a Joe and Jody. Both are in their 30s, not sure I know any baby Josephs

Yes we have a Joseph . Love that name x

Love it. Classic, strong, timeless. Can be Joe and I also know one who shortens it to Zeph which I love.

One of my favourite boy’s names!

Love it! It’s DH and his dads name, everyone calls him Joe apart from me I call him Joey (not in a cute way in an inside joke way 😂) but either nicknames which IMO he will end up with are nice x

Love it so much and it's a good name but not too popular. A timeless classic

We have a Joseph, known as Joey by most, jojo, joseppi and jojolicious at home! We've had lots of people comment that they love the name.

I quite like it. A good traditional name that has stood the test of time.

I have a 3 year old Joseph, goes by Joe. Favourite boys name, of course I'm biased.

Love it. My grandfather was Joseph. Wish we'd chosen it for DS15. Had a traumatic birth & was too shell-shocked to call him anything so DH chose the name he's got. Having said that MIL is a batshit narcissist known by "Jo-Jo" so no doubt would've twisted my name choice to make it about her.

I've never seen a names thread with such positivity!

I love it too!

I think it's lovely. Such a strong name. I think it's even nicer when kept as the full name rather than shortening to Joe; however saying that Joe is a great name too.

I have a Joseph it's lovely, everyone knows the name and how to spell it but it's not so popular that all his friends have the same name as him.
