I think it is very lovely. I love names that have meaning and honor someone special. My daughter is named Mary Ashley after my great grandmother (Mary) and my sister (Ashley) and my son's middle names are after his 2 grandfathers.

Joseph after his brother's betrayal, endured captivity in Egypt and eventually became the Pharaoh' s most trusted men. In the New Testament, Joseph the carpenter is the stepfather of Jesus.
