Need a middle name for Joey

DH wants to name boy #5 after his father Joseph.  I'm not a fan of using that exact name because I'd rather some uniqueness.  I'm "considering" Joey insead but can't come up with a middle name for the life of me.  Help!

 I'd rather Grant Joseph but I'm not winning this battle so far.....

    Lawrence? Sorry, I couldn't resist. 

    I can think of lots of middle names for Joseph, but none for Joey. Sorry.

    Well, I don't think "Joey" is very unique, given that most guys named Joseph go by Joe (or Joey) at various points in their life. If you're hoping that by naming him Joey instead of Joseph that there won't be any others, it's not going to happen. The plus side with Joseph is, he has the option of going by Joey or not if he at one point would like to have a more distinguished name.

    I like Joseph Grant very much.

    I hope that you're putting Joseph on the birth certificate! ;)

    Joseph Grant is a good name. My BIL's name is Joseph Adam. :)

    Please don't name him just Joey. Joseph is a great solid name. He will thank you for not giving him a child's nn as a real name.

    What's wrong with Joseph Grant? Any other family members' names you'd like to use?

    Why not just name him Joseph legally, and call him Joey?

    Joey seems very kiddish to me. DH's name is Joseph and he despises being called Joey. 

    DH's middle name is Theodore btw.

    I think Grant Joseph sounds really good and goes with your other children's names. I can't think of any mn for Joey, but Joseph is easier.

    I'm with pp--Joseph Grant sounds great.

    And FWIW, my DS is Joseph David.
