Hello,
I have always liked the name Joshua for a son. In my family, we have a tradition of using the middle name Salvatore. My dilemma is Joshua means “God is salvation” and Salvatore means “savior.” Would it be silly to use this combination?
Sincerely,
Jarrett A.
Hi Jarrett,
I think using Joshua and Salvatore together is perfectly fine. Not many people know the meaning of a name when they meet a person so it won’t be shocking or silly.
Sincerely,
Jennifer
