Our baby is due soon i thought we had names sorted but i'm now not so sure? Girls names done but boys????
Either:

Joseph James (although DH says you can't call an xmas baby Joseph!!)

or

James Paul

I prefer Joseph James but Paul is FIL name and DD1 middle name is my mums so feel we should include them.

Please someone help such a big decision!

Why not Joseph Paul? That's lovely too.

Joseph James - I like it better. Joseph is a popular name all year round anyway, so if you knew a boy/man named Joseph you wouldn't automatically think he was born at Christmas time.

I prefer Joseph James and James is a very special family name to me. Tbh i don't think FIL would be bothered if we didn't use his name it's me panicking nd feeling like i should include them.
