First off, I love the name Joseph - I plan to name my son Joseph. No disrespect is intended, but what exactly is God going to add?-- BrendanMcC. 6/16/2006
I like this name when it's used for guys who aren't little kids: Joseph just isn't a little kid's name, Joe fits better. However, Joseph is a great guy's name, and it has very nice biblical references. (I'm not saying that all biblical names=GOOD, but the biblical Joseph's WERE good.) :)
P.S. Also, Giuseppe is like the coolest name in the world, aside from Matteo/the other variant of Matthew that sounds like (muh TAY oosh)!-- Anonymous User 7/31/2006

Joe B.
Joey C.
Joe W.
And many more.-- spaz123 5/26/2007
This name is really nice. It has a great background too. Plus when the kid is little you can call them Jojo or Joey (that's what I call my brother) and when he gets older Joseph or Joe.-- Anonymous User 7/24/2007
Saying that this name isn't for little kids is just wrong! It can be for little kids and grown ups. I like this name, but it's too popular!-- CharlieRob 8/12/2007

Pet forms: Joska, Josa, Pepa, Joe, Zefan.-- Maggie_Simpson 9/12/2007
The name Joseph means "God will increase", JAH meaning God or the Lord (See "EL") or BELOVED (God is Love). Different name etymologies for SEPH portion, include "multiplies, adds, or increases". I suggest that increases also means in crosses. To add or multiply is the same symbol, x or + turned. I also point out how much SEPH sounds like SAVE. I suggest to you all that DAVIDs, AMYs, and Joe/JOSEPHs tend to be prolific babymakers.-- jaydubyo 10/5/2007

A famous bearer was English sideshow attraction Joseph Merrick (August 5, 1862 – April 11, 1890), better known as "The Elephant Man". He suffered from a severe malformality and became a sideshow attraction in Victorian-era Britain. He's the subject of the popular play "The Elephant Man", first produced on Broadway in 1979, and its 1980 Academy Award-nominated film adaption. He was initially portrayed on Broadway by Philip Anglim, and in the film by John Hurt.-- AndrewJKD 3/13/2008
The're nothing wrong with the name per se, but I always associate it with jerks. There's the evil man Joseph Jackson, the father of Michael Jackson, and the creepy Joseph Simpson, the father of Jessica Simpson. This is also the English equivalent of Josef, which was Stalin's first name.-- slight night shiver 4/25/2008

Joseph Ratzinger is the birth name of the Bishop of Rome.-- gio2475 5/27/2008
Isn't Joseph Ratzinger the birth name of Pope Benedict the Sixteenth, not the Bishop of Rome? Is the Pope the Bishop of Rome? That comment confused me.-- xKatiex 8/18/2008

Joseph "Little Joe" Cartwright, Bonanza!-- welovejamesarness 7/11/2008
I like the name Joseph a lot, however; I don't think I'd name my child Joseph because people would shorten it to Joe, and I wouldn't want my son to be "Just another average Joe".-- KayeKiLa 8/15/2008
Italian actor Raymond Romano and Anna Scarpulla have a son Joseph, born 16. February 1998.-- Emilie007 9/3/2008
I like this name a lot. I used to think it sounded dull and overused. But now, I have met some really nice guys with this name. I don't think it sounds good shortened to Joe or Joey. Yuck! But the name in it's full version is very nice and very old world.-- Jeremiah2911 11/19/2008
Sir Joseph Banks was a famous botanist and fellow voyager of Captain James Cook. He discovered many new plants in the South Seas around the time of James Cook. He discovered a particular type of Cassava Root which is now used to make some crisps (potato chips). :)-- walesgal92 3/28/2009
A famous bearer of this name is Joe Jonas, full name Joseph Adam Jonas, of the Jonas Brothers.-- meggsxx3 4/20/2009
This is my brother's name. It can also be pronounced "jo-sehf", equal stress on each syllable.-- zippity bubble 5/4/2009
My brother's name, after my father, Jose. Joey, Joe, it's all been done and I'm sure he thinks it's just as boring.-- Gothiclovesick 5/13/2009
Quite possibly my favorite boy's name. There is a dignity and strength with this name that I love, balanced with gentleness. It sounds wise and strong and caring and intelligent. There are enough famous Josephs, starting from Old Testament times to right now, to satisfy anyone. It is classic and even if it climbs to number one in the American popularity charts I would still use it for a son.-- britto08 11/21/2009
