    Comment left Jun 15, 2007: "I named my son Joshua. Josh is French. some people actually experience technical problems trying to say it properly but it's no big deal. They go for "Josua" which is easier for french native speakers and I don't mind. Joshua is now 22 months old. He's able to pronunciate his name correctly. He's the sweetest baby in the world. Joshua is a soft name. It suits him perfectly. he's quiet, charming, loves what's beautiful, patient. He keeps saying "I love you" to his relatives. He's incredibly clever for his age. Joshua is a name that came out of nowhere while I was pregnant (there aren't many Joshuas in France), and I had to fight to have people in my family accept it. My son is mixed breed and some people feared he might have problems bearing a Jewish name, but I didn't want to change my mind because of some narow-minded people. I have no regrets. it's such a beautiful name. Josh - waouh!" (Report as inappropriate)
