Joel Joshua

Bradley's Rose

This is what a friend just named her baby boy.  She and her husband both have brothers named Joshua so that's where baby's MN comes from. Thoughts?

I don't like the alliteration, but given the fact that it's being used to honor family, I'll give it a pass.

I love Joel. More people should use it.

I like alliteration, so I think it's a nice name! Also, he could go by JJ

I love both names, just not together. I'm not a fan of FN and MN starting with the same letter in general though..

What's not to like?  

for starters, the name joel.

while i don't mind first name and last name alliteration, i don't like the first name and middle name alliteration.

I think Joshua Joel sounds better, but it's really just okay at best

I don't think it flows well together. I'm also not crazy about Joel.

I love both names.  I don't think it has the best flow, but I'm considering an alliterative FN-MN combination myself for a future child, so I don't have much room to talk.

As an excuse to share pretty pictures, I have two quite positive associations with Joel:

1. Joel McHale

 

2. the character Joel from Parenthood

I dont' think it works well together.
