Joss vs. Joseph
I had a dream last night that I had a son and I named him Joss Allan. Lately "our" (my boyfriend and I) favorite name for a boy has been Joseph Allan. In the past, however, it was Joss Allan and now I'm preferring it again. WDYT? And of these, which is your favorite? Allan - and its' spelling - is non-negotiable. Lev Allan
Lior Allan
Thaddeus Allan
Joseph Allan
Jonas Allanand do you prefer Raphael Michael or Raphael Christian?

My favorites are Thaddeus Allan and Jonas Allan. If it's between Joss and Joseph though, I prefer Joseph

Joss is a bit nicknamey but nice. Jospeh's nice but needs a long rest IMO. Of the other first names I like Lev and Lior.

I actually like all the combos, with the exception of Joss, as I see that as a feminine name. Joseph Allan is probably my fave though. Raphael Christian is also great.

I like Joss, Thaddeus and Allen or Alan
Joss Allen doesn't flow well and clumps together. It's akward.I love Raphael Christian.

I prefer Joseph Allan, even if Joseph isn't my favourite of the fns. It just flows so well. And Joss seems like a usable nn for Joseph.Raphael Christian. Raphael Michael just looks odd, even if it doesn't sound odd.

It does flow well, doesn't it?It's the main reason that I use it. The only thing is that both X and I are geeks...and Joss Whedon's first name is Joseph. :-D

Lol, well call me a geek, then. That only makes me like it more.

And anyone want to help me rebuild my name list?I've lost it completely. I'm wondering if people could list unusual, legit Arabic and Hebrew names, as the comprised at least a third of my list and are the hardest to remember.
