It's very boring as a first name. I know a lot of Josephs. Add people who's MN is Joseph, and that's a lot more.

Well I've never met a Joseph I didn't like. The name makes me think of a cute little boy but can also be a successful adult man. Usually I've heard nicknames like Jay or Joe for this name. I love Diego but Amadeus sounds better with Joseph.

Not boring, but very religious. I much prefer Josiah!

I love Joseph! I think it's so handsome. My 10 year old brother's name is Joseph. I don't think he's ever met another that's his age. I don't know many babies or young kids named Joseph either. I also think the nicknames Joe or Joey are nice, very friendly and good natured sounding.

Yes, it's very handsome. I adore Joseph but Joseph only and not any shortened version. Joseph Amadeus is a stunning combo.

Joseph is a great name! I think of all the ubiquitous men's names, it may be my very favorite. You can't go wrong with Joseph, Joey, or Joe. Both your combos are gorgeous, though I would opt for Joseph Diego because Amadeus is a little pretentious on a real person. Do you like Joseph Amedeo or Joseph Amadeo? I also like Joseph Paschal, Joseph Asa, Joseph Leon, Joseph Xavier. I think it's a great Fn to pair with an unusual Mn.

I love Amadeus so much that it actually saves the combo for me but Joseph is indeed a little boring as a first name for my taste. But I'm sure a lot of people will disagree, so don't worry.

I used to find it boring, but have enjoyed it more the past few months. It's very classic and handsome. I went to school with TONS of Josephs, so I can picture it on just about anyone, which I think is always a nice quality to have in a name for your child. You never know who they'll turn out to be!

I think both of those combos are really nice. It's so hard to pick between them! To fit best in your family, I think I'd go with Joseph Diego.

It's nice enough, but yes, I think it is boring, the same way that John, Thomas, Robert, and William are boring.

Joseph Diego rocks! Then again, I adore Diego. Joseph is nice too if a little unremarkable. Still, I can get with Joseph but not Joe which is too dull for me.

Joseph is OK as a full name, but Joe has got to be the friendliest nn of all time.

Joseph Daniel? Joseph Bernard? Joseph Adrian?

I love the name Joseph and don't find it boring at all. It's a masculine, classic name to me and I think Joseph Diego is really nice.

I looooove Joseph! deffinitely one of my favorite names, especially with nn Sepp.
I think Joseph Amadeus is amazing(:

It's a name I never tire of. I think it's so strong and handsome.
Both those combos are good. I slightly go for Joseph Diego more, because it flows a little nicer. But on their own Amadeus is more my style than Diego.
