My father and brother-in-law are both named Joseph. My Dh is worried that his father would be upset for us not including his name. My FIL does not have a great name btw (Donald Rex Scott). I really like Joseph as a mn. We obviously would not call him by that name, does anyone see where this would be a problem? Also my FIL has his first born as a Jr. I really like Tyler Joseph Scott and dh likes Tyler Gregory Scott (DH is Greg). Not that I do not want to honor my dh but I think Tyler Joseph has a better flow.

I actually think Tyler Gregory flows slightly

I think both names flow nicely, however go ahead and use Joseph if you really want. My rule of thumb is that the kids are getting Dad's ln, so the first option for a mn spot should be able to come from the mother's family.
