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.
