Out of those, I'd go for Jude. I reckon it's a great name....Great tune, too.
Lionel
Spiro
Abraham
Mark
My choice for a middlename- Saladin.
It is also a contraction of Joseph so he will be starting off life without a proper name poor lad.
Both our girls don't have proper names. We'd never have called them Elanor* or Elizabeth, so there didn't seem to be any point naming them those.
* Yes, spelled like that. She's named after Sam Gamgee's daughter. I am such a geek.
Actually, hold on. You said "kid".
Does that mean we're naming a small goat?

Abraham Saladin would take some explaining.
It our girls had been boys, they'd have been Noah and Sam. You're welsome to use those, since we don't need them.
Roman is another. No not the football club owner. Thats the only off-putting part of the name.
Does that mean we're naming a small goat?
In which case, the William suggestion above would seem best.
We're really screwed with baby names. Due in 6 weeks, and we have no idea. We don't even know if it's a boy or girl.
So expect another thread like this in 6 weeks and two days.
blimey, friends of ours have 2 boys. one called leo and one called jude.
spooky...
Throbbing.
Craig Schofield.
Then buy him a Raleigh Burner.
Have you considered [url= http://www.singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/am-i-being-a-snob ]Blade[/url]?
bizarrely when littledawg no 2 appears Joe and Leo were two of the preferred names on our list...
Or you could try one of the bike names from Cove?
Hora?
Jayden.
I 2nd Titus!
TBH I'd look at what names are currently popular now- say the top 10 and AVOID them. I bet Joe/Jake/Frank and Jude are all up there. Why avoid them? Who wants a common name? On the flipside no kid wants a seriously naff name (sorry for future spawn) so you have to future-proof.....
Names that avoid this are Samuel? As an example. It shortens to 'Sam'.
Chosing a name like Frank- which is already a nickname isnt good.
Titus (Salt) is actually a great name, full of history however it shortens really really badly for a kid in school.
Humphrey Schofield - how cool is that!
just too few Humps in the world

Sam is one of the most popular names around at the moment.
Chosing a name like Frank- which is already a nickname isnt good.
Why?
Baby Robin.
Joe, clearly is the only option from that shortlist!
What's the chances of his next kid being a boy too?
Blade
Archie.

Gah! Beat me to it! 😈
'Titus'? 'Tight-Arse', or 'T1t', for short?
Think about the poor child, when it's at school...
Maximillian. Now that's a good name, a name fit for an Emperor!By that token Caligula should be in the running. Or Barbarossa.
Napoleon? Hirohito? Haile Sellasie?
I voted to keep our provisional name for Stoner Jr after he was born: "Working Title Productions".
Mrs Stoner insisted on a shorter name for the birth certificate though...ho hum.
Jude or Joe are great names.
I tried to think of a name for our two, that I could shout out in a school playground that I would:
Not be embarrassed about shouting
Would not have all the other parents s****ing
Does not sound like flower/city/Disney character, etc.......
Not have half the kids responding too
(shame as I love the name Jack)
I always liked the name Tarzan.
Cal El or plain Cal?
Nebuchadnezzar.
'Nez' or 'Nezza' for short.
Cabe
Has to be Joe
Of that list, I once new a kid called frank, he was a ****.
the other two are gay as ****.
and not gay as in the good boys kissing boys way, gay as in massive douchebag, pink poloshirts, popped collar, orange tan kind of way
joe jude schofield
J.J. schofield
Whats wrong with a name thats already shortened to a nickname? Its narrows things too much IMO- its too informal, how could a serious organisation take him seriously?
I think Mark is a top name. Although it seems alot of people were called Mark around the time I was born as well!
Mark is definitely a fine name...
Is that a question Mark?
s****s
If you have a name like Ben everyone assumes it's short for something. So teachers always end up calling you Benjamin or Benedict or something, when it's not your name.
Incidentally, my name actually is Benjamin, and I like the fact I have a short and long form 🙂
As for Mark - I don't like names that are verbs 🙂
Jones - can be shorted to Joe as he sees fit but isn't Joseph.
Mrs Hairychested has just said:
[b][u]Call your son Singletrack.[/u][/b]
Ollie
nothing to do with me worshipping mr beckinsale
but ollie is a cool name
How about a European version of one of those? e.g. Joe = Giuseppe
