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

I love this name. My cousin is Joseph and now well into his twenties and has always used his full name. The odd person at school or work would say Joe but anyone close to him knows him as Joseph. I have 2 girls but it was always on our boys name list

Love it was very tempted! Both our dads are Joseph as well, but I don't like Joe, which he would inevitably be called probably more than Joseph.

It’s a good strong classic timeless name. There’s not much to criticize about it really, is there.

I like Joseph and Joe for short. Joey, I just think of the one in Friends who was a bit of a prat, but I don't know whether today's young kids would get that reference.
