Re: Joseph
in reply to a message by Belphoebe
Wow! I'm surprised you've never met one. I'm glad you are one of the few to see it as new and refreshing.
I'm not a fan of the nickname Joey myself but I'm not put off by it either. My grandmother tried her hardest to get my parents to call my brother Joey but alas he was always just Joseph until he was older and started going by Joe with his friends and a few cousins. Then my father is a Joseph "Joe" and my grandfather was a Joseph as well though he went by "Jay" or "JB". It's a nice, sturdy name.
Anyway, Joseph Isaac is a very safe, usable combo. I don't see it making waves but it does have a very religious vibe which is something to consider.
