Wanting to name baby after daddy. help?

Question

Ok, im pregnant but this one is called Evelyn Grace :) but the next baby we have, we will hopefully have a boy and i want to use his dads name as a middle name.

Our eldest Sophia Rose, has Rose as her middle name because its my Grandmas name. i like having the names of the people you love incorporated into childrens name.

anyway, his dad is Josh. do I use Josh as a middle name, or Joshua? because his name is just Josh and not Joshua.... I personally like Joshua better as it has more substance....

also, what first names go with Josh/Joshua, and also go well with sisters name, Sophia (Sophie) and Evelyn (Evie)?

Answer 1

Answer 2

Andrew Joshua

Richard Joshua

Calen Joshua

Allen Joshua

Anthony Joshua

Dorian Joshua

Answer 3

William Joshua

Ian Joshua

Aaron Joshua

Levi Joshua

Simon Joshua

Answer 4

I think middle names usually sound strange if they're not given in their full form.  I'd definitely use Joshua instead of Josh.  It still honors your husband, as it's a form of his name.

To pair with it, you definitely need to use a classic name.  You seem to like names that are in style right now, so here are some suggestions in a similar vein:

William Joshua

Henry Joshua

Owen Joshua

Daniel Joshua

David Joshua

Christian Joshua

Nathan Joshua

Ethan Joshua

Lucas Joshua

Adam Joshua

Ian Joshua

Gavin Joshua

Answer 5

Cameron Joshua

Answer 6

andrew joshua. it's pretty and has a nice ring 2 it. i like it. or robert j.

Answer 7

David Joshua

William Joshua

Henry Joshua

Thomas Joshua

I'd imagine an old-fashioned name would suit best for Joshua, as that's what it is

I would definitely avoid a J-Name or soft G-Name for the first name.

Answer 8

William Joshua

Dustin Josh

Edward joshua

Answer 9

How about Charles Joshua? You could call him C.J., Chaz, Chuck or Charlie. I like the full name more than the abbreviation. If you like the full name more use that. It'll honor your husband and make you both happy. Charles is a classic names that goes with your girls' names (which I love!).

Also Oliver or Henry work.

edit: I actually really like Charles Josue (the Spanish form of Joshua). It's pronounced "joz-oo-a". It sounds like a jazz player to me.

Answer 10

Wow, those are really cute girls names. But I definitely like Joshua better than Josh. Maybe Joshua Matthew, Joshua Michael, or Joshua Andrew? As a middle name, maybe James Joshua, Daniel Joshua, or something like that?

Answer 11

I love your girls names..

they're traditional so a more traditional name like

Jack Joshua or JJ :)

James

George

Zachary

Nathan

Luke or Lucas

Matthew

Michael

good luck.
