Geez.. i don'tknow what it is but everyone i know i naming their son "Josh" its like JOshhere Josh there several Joshes at school, Josh round the corner, poping out everywhre -.- !

what is it with the popular name of Josh?? what do parents think the name will do to their kid (when he finds out a bazillion other boys have the same name... -.-)

anyway... what do you think names say about guys you meet?
David - strong dependable type, usually older brother
Lucius - evil cunnign type of guy
Michael - nice all round type of type...

how about other comon names?
colin, jasper, horace, gandhi and elgar.

Except for Lucius (never met anyone with that name), that would be EXACTLY how I would describe David's and Michael's

And I really dislike the name "Josh" because I find it very difficult to say.

The Davids and Michaels I know are completely opposite of that.

I don't think names really mean anything, to be quite honest.

Because commonly, it's the parents who pick out the names...and one can't really develop their personality around their name...it just doesn't make any sense.

Never heard anyone called "josh", only josiah.
Josh sounds like a pretty boring name.

Though, I suppose in Star Ocean 1 for the SNES they had a "joshua" character, who was pretty weak and useless to me.

Lol, there was always a guy named "Josh" in my class. I don't think a name is based on a personality though, a name goes after your birth, a name can't reflect a just-born baby's personality.
