    I love the name Joseph. Good choice.

  • I love the name Joseph! Whilst its quite popular right now, its still a very handsome and strong name. I think the nicknames Joe and Joey will definitely be used by his friends, but I think they're quite sweet. Joseph is a name that ages well, and I think its got a "cute" sound for a baby, but a strong sound for a professional 30 year old man. Its definitely a name I think you should use :)

    i think the name joseph is really old if i were u then i would probably want my child to have a have a cool name like joe, sam, or if want some kind of name like joseph how about peter where if kids want to short the name it would be pete so it would still sound cause if u have joseph then u cant really shorten it and its is a really old name to be honest. Good Luck with whatever name u plan to name your secound son,

    It's a really cute name and your first son has a name that sort of matches. They go well together.

    My little boy is called Joseph!! :) He does get called Joe or Joey an awful lot. I love Jacob too :)

    II think it's a great, strong name for a boy. But be prepared to have everyone shorten it to Joe or Joey. That will always happen.

    I like Joseph, and it goes very well with Jacob - they are two traditional, down-to-earth names.

    Well Joseph is ok but i would prefer like a jessye or jason

    Joseph......thats a nice name indeed. You can also call him James.

  • Not too keen because it pretty much always gets shortened to 'Jo' which is too common. I like unusual names.
