I know they're 2 completely different names but there're the 2 we've whittled it down to but just can't decide between them.

Joseph. Presumably Joe in reality. Bradley is err, less nice.

JoanCollinsDiva · 15/01/2025 20:56

Definitely Joseph. Bradley is awful imo. It sounds c-word, sorry.

Whatzzitz · 15/01/2025 20:56

Joseph is lovely. Bradley is awful

FluffMagnet · 15/01/2025 20:57

Joseph. Please.

alexdgr8 · 15/01/2025 21:04

Joseph is a fine classic name.
Bradley is a surname and will date badly.
It sounds like a passing fad type of name.

BlackChunkyBoots · 15/01/2025 21:05

Joseph.

Moreteaandchocolate · 15/01/2025 21:13

hideawayforever · 15/01/2025 21:18

Joseph

Thewalrusandthecarpenter · 15/01/2025 21:19

Joseph. Bradley is such a different name, really no comparison.

puttyinboots · 15/01/2025 21:20

Well I have a Bradley and I think it's a lovely name! We shorten it to Brad usually

TheFormidableMrsC · 15/01/2025 21:20

Joseph. I have one 🙂

DenimPeer · 15/01/2025 21:25

Definitely Joseph. It's a name that won't date. Bradley sounds too much like a surname to me.

feelinggroggy · 15/01/2025 21:28

Well that seems unanimous, thanks for your help. I think I like Joseph better too.

Joseph defintely.

HonestCrab · 15/01/2025 21:37

I personally like Bradley but it does seem a bit dated and down-market in comparison to Joseph. I believe Bradley was once popular in America in the 70s, 80s? Keep in mind he'll end up being Brad or Joe...

Ketzele · 15/01/2025 21:42

Joseph!

2welshmums · 15/01/2025 21:45

Neither

Firsttimebabymummy · 15/01/2025 21:49

Joseph is lovely...not keen on Bradley.

Whatwouldnanado · 15/01/2025 21:50

Another vote for Joseph. Bradley is awful.

Eldermillenialyogi · 15/01/2025 21:50

Joseph was on my list.

Let's put it this way - I'm surprised you're choosing between Joseph and Bradley.
