Another of my colleagues had a baby this week - well, his wife did.

The name is:

Harry Joseph

What do you think? I always associate Harry with cocky posh boys. Also, the surname begins with R so I think when you say Harry (surname) there are too many R sounds... Apart from that I think its nice enough, if not really my style.

Although they're obviously completely separate names..

I would have liked Henry Joseph better.

Harry is usually a diminutive of Henry, so they could well have given him the latter as his official name and simply called him Harry. It's perhaps a bit more sensible, although I guess Harry is as easy (or difficult) to take through one's whole life at Henry is.

Yes, I think Prince Harry is actually a Henry. None of the Harrys I've actually known have been Henrys though - it's always been their given name

Henry Joseph is my grandfather's name. I agree, I like Henry better than Harry.
