[Opinions] Joseph
I am loving this name right now. WDYT? How do you feel about the nn's Joe and Joey?


Nobody sings a love song quite like you do
And nobody else can make me sing along
Nobody else can make me feel
That things are right when I know they're wrong

I think they're fine although I'd prefer just Joseph. Joey's cute for a little tyke.

I've never particularly liked this name, but it's a family name for me (my grandfather's name and my brother's middle name). I'd probably use it as a mn if I used it at all, but I'd be more likely to use Josephine. I don't like Joe, but Joey is okay, probably just because I know a kid named Joey who's pretty cool.-------

I love Joseph. It's a family name for me. The nicknames are ok, but I just prefer Joseph. I would like to use it as a middle name. ¡VIVA ESPAÑA!

Ditto all of that for me, exceptit's a name that my family superstitiously regards as bad luck, so we're highly discouraged from using it. :-/ Joseph, Josephine, and any other varient would be shot down without a thought by my mother and the rest of her family.

*snore* Sorry but I find this name terribly boring and overused. Though I do prefer Joseph to any of the nn's for it, esp. Joey. (I do, however, much prefer a classic, sickeningly popular name like Joseph over a trendy, misspelled, of-the-moment name.)

Whoops -- I meant this to appear under the original post.Joseph has never been one of my favorites, but it's certainly a solid, classic name, and a safe choice.-- Sarah

I agreeJoseph is one of those names that is way too common/boring in my opinion.

Joseph is nice and classic. I would only use 'Joseph' no nickname necessary, plus I thnk the full name is eons better than any of the nicknames.

I like the name Joseph, but wouldn't use it as it's quite popular. I very much dislike Joe and Joey - Joseph is nice on it's own.

I think Joseph is a good name, but I'm not crazy about it. Joe is way better than Joey.
