You have to remember, too,that on this board, sometimes we like names that we wouldn't actually use on a real child. We're just "trying on", so to speak.
I have 3 children, one of them is, in fact, named
Joseph. The other two have equally un-original (though good!) names. Part of the reason for this is that our last name is very uncommon in my area, so we thought it best not to be too distinctive with the given names.
I like
Sam very much! Good name!
