@boudinMan Joseph and Gavin?

I don't know the origin of Gavin, but Joseph is an old Hebrew name along with many others in common use in English-speaking countries for centuries, so what is the problem with them?

Or simply personal taste?
@ArishMell Newsom by my guess according to his profile photo

@NativePortlander1970 Oh, I see! Yes, Hireath has suggested Boris, perhaps referring to another politician, the UK's' ex-PM, Mr. Johnson.

I first encountered the name as Gavin Maxwell, the Scots naturalist and author.
