If you're going to call him Maddox then why not Maddox as the fn? I don't care for Joseph at all.

dh wants to use joseph because that is his father's name, and i really don't like the flow of Maddox Joseph for some reason. Also, i've always gone by my mn and so has dh, so i don't feel that will be an issue

just wondering why people do that ... if you already know that you're going to call him Maddox, then why not make that his FIRST name? My brother just did that when they named their son & I think it's weird/hard for the kid. So, will he have to sign his name as "J. Maddox _____" the rest of his life on legal docs, etc?? Why not Maddox Joseph?

sorry, just went back and saw your reply to the first comment ... I guess if both you and your husband have done it then it doesn't seem unusual to you!

I've always used my middle name also (Meredith Anne nn Annie) and I've never had any confusion or difficulties. I like Joseph Maddox and I agree that it flows better than Maddox Joseph. I say, go for it.

I think if you are going to call him Maddox, then you should name him Maddox Joseph. Thats a nice name, I just don't think you should name him Joseph Maddox if you are not going to call him Joseph! JMO! Good Luck

Looks like you are hopping on the Angelina Jolie bandwagon.
