[Opinions] Joe
Replies
Joe is the kind of name that feels a bit generic, but also calls to mind the kind of guy who is reliable, friendly, smart (book smart and/or common-sense smart) and unpretentious.
I don't really like the name Joseph that much so if I wanted to call a son Joe he'd probably be Josiah.

I second this
One of my aunts married a Joseph who was always known as Joe. He was a very successful businessman and one of the nicest and funniest people I've ever met. He had a heart condition and died young, before I even started school, but I still remember being at someone's wedding reception when I was a very small child: Uncle Joe and I had lots of fun chasing each other round a huge potted fern on a stand. He was good with kids, and I'd use Joseph, nn Joe, for a son without hesitation in his memory.
It's ok as a nn only
It sounds like a nickname for names starting with Jo-. It's fine.
