Ok so i want to name my son something after my grandpa whose name was [name]Joseph[/name]. The thing is everyone called him [name]Sam[/name] (idk why they just always did) so i love the name [name]Sam[/name] and was going to use it but my cousin beat me to the ounch with her little boy [name]Samuel[/name]. I was wondering if you could help me think of anything similar (in sound, style or feel) to [name]Joseph[/name] and [name]Sam[/name]
[name]Jotham[/name] is a good compromise between [name]Joseph[/name] and [name]Sam[/name].
Personally I am partial to [name]Joseph[/name] (see signature)… But if you were looking for something with a similar feel…
[name]Theo[/name] or [name]Theodore[/name]
[name]Adam[/name] ( a name i think is very underrated!)
[name]James[/name] or [name]Jeremy[/name] with the nn [name]Jem[/name]
[name]Jude[/name]
If you ask me… just name his [name]Joseph[/name]! hahha We call my little guy [name]Joe[/name]! (not joey) and we get compliments on his name all the time! and I have yet to meet another little [name]Joseph[/name]…!!!
Names with a similar feel in my opinion:
[name]Liam[/name]
[name]Dan[/name]
[name]Ben[/name]
[name]Sander[/name]
[name]Joseph[/name] - Joash, [name]Joe[/name]/[name]Joey[/name], [name]Josiah[/name], [name]Joshua[/name], [name]Japeth[/name], [name]Jacob[/name]
[name]Sam[/name] - [name]Cam[/name]/[name]Cameron[/name], [name]Saul[/name], [name]Emmanuel[/name], [name]Max[/name]
[name]Samson[/name] seems like a reasonable option; it’s not [name]Samuel[/name], and I like how it connotes your [name]Sam[/name]'s (extended) lineage in a way. You might also try [name]Seth[/name] (starts with an S, but kinda mimics the end of [name]Joseph[/name]) or [name]Sancho[/name] (sounds a tad like Samjo). [name]Jotham[/name] is a great suggestion, too.
What about the initials [name]SAM[/name]?
Something like:
[name]Sebastian[/name] [name]August[/name] [name]Milo[/name]
[name]Seth[/name] [name]Avery[/name] [name]Matthew[/name]
[name]Soren[/name] [name]Atticus[/name] [name]Maxwell[/name]
[name]Spencer[/name] [name]Amadeus[/name] [name]Miles[/name]
[name]Solomon[/name] [name]Andrew[/name] [name]Morgan[/name]
etc.
Good luck!
I would name him [name]Joseph[/name] [name]Samuel[/name].
[name]Seth[/name] and [name]Samson[/name] seem like some very real possibilities for your dilemma.
Also, you may just consider naming your little kiddo [name]Joseph[/name].
[name]How[/name] about some of these?
[name]Joshua[/name]
[name]Josiah[/name]
[name]Joab[/name]
[name]Jonah[/name]
[name]Jonathan[/name]
[name]Jacob[/name]
[name]Josef[/name]
[name]Joel[/name]
[name]Sampson[/name]
[name]Simeon[/name]
[name]Stefan[/name]
[name]Sydney[/name]
[name]Sander[/name]
[name]Shane[/name]
Maybe [name]Simon[/name]?
Or just have another [name]Samuel[/name] & nickname him something like [name]Sonny[/name].
[name]Samson[/name] is cute too.
I am concentrating on [name]Sam[/name] not [name]Joseph[/name] cause [name]Sam[/name] is what he went by, but you could always just do that!
