My husband named my son Joshua because he is not in love with his own name. In the beginning I thought it was too common. But now I am in love with the name. It is strong in meaning, cute and it will suit him as he grows. He went from Joshie-poo to Joshie to Jo-Jo to Josh and it turns out sharing a name is not as horrid as I thought.
Joshua Kai.

My son's name is Joshua Benjamin. His middle name is his father's name. I think that the name suits him perfectly. He is two, we usually call him Joshua, Joshi, or Josh.
