[Opinions] Re: Joseph
I love a lot of plain, classic boy's names, but only recently has Joseph started being one I can get into. Probably because I just went to school with SO many Joes, of all different personalities. It's just such a generic guy name.Joseph Gregory and Joseph Alden are nice.For some reason I want to pair it with a religious/Latin type name, like:
Joseph Angelus
Joseph Columcille - ooh!
Joseph Franciscus
Joseph Augustine
Joseph Pius
Joseph Alphonsus - the reverse of this is a favorite combo of mine
Joseph Anselm
Joseph Ignatius
Joseph MagnusOther than that, some other ideas:
Joseph Abel
Joseph Bernard
Joseph Cairbre
Joseph Dacre - oh, I really like this!
Joseph Faramund
Joseph Gordon
Joseph Kentigern
Joseph Mannix
Joseph Nicanor
Joseph Rory - like this too
Joseph TristramI hope you like at least one of those! I'm really starting to see it as more of a rough name before-- and I love that!

I agree that it's a little plain/generic, but I tend to like "classic" type names like that, so Joseph fits in well. I never noticed a ton of Josephs in my peer group before university. It's growing on me like Robert is. As a "plain" name with a strong, manly side that is too often overlooked!It works perfectly paired with religious/Latin names, since I'm a religious Roman Catholic. :)
I love Joseph Ignatius and Joseph Augustine. I like all the others on this list as well, excluding Magnus. Unfortunately, I never warmed up to that name.As for the others, Joseph Gordon appealed to me right away, but Joseph Gordon-Levitt is one of my sister's favorite actors, so I think I'd have to avoid. I like Joseph Mannix, but I don't know if I could get away with Mannix!Thank you so much for your comment. :)

OhhhJoseph Gordon-Levitt, forgot about him. Maybe that's why Gordon seemed to click with it!
