Brodie/Brody John
Joshua John

Joshua.
My vote goes for Joshua too x
Too hard, I like them both equally. They're quite different from each other. Maybe one goes better with your DD's name or better with the surname?
Joshua

I too would go for Brodie because Joshua is ... well it's a J name ... 
that said I actually prefer Joshua as a name over Brodie.
hmmm tough one.

Definitely Joshua.... but I'm probably biased 
Without a doubt, Joshua.

I prefer Joshua.
Joshua, not even close. I think the J name thing is a load of hooey, my parents are both teachers and still chose a J name for their son so they obviously weren't put off by J-named terrors!
Joshua (and I'm a teacher too!)
I like Brody
Brody. Cos I have one! Have also always liked Joshua too but "Josh" doesn't go with our surname.
Joshua without a doubt. It is a classic, strong name that won't go out of style.
My niece had 3 Joshua's in her class last year and there are 3 in Prep this year with my son. We also know another Joshua of who is 4. So at school it is Joshua A, Joshua T, Joshua S... You get the idea 
Depends if you mind how popular the name is...

I agree
Joshua is a beautiful name.
Joshua, about a million times over.
Brodie just isn't in the same league.

I definitely prefer Joshua, it's lovely.

It's an easy choice for me. Joshua all the way.
Joshua.
Don't like Brodie at all.
Don't like Brodie at all.
I would love to name a future son Joshua - but its my DH's name.
LOVE the name! Brodie is NMS.
LOVE the name! Brodie is NMS.
Joshua is out name too. We have started referring to the baby as Joshi and it really fits well. Good luck with your decision

Joshua. Brodie is revolting.
Joshua definitely.
I used to work in a juvenile detention centre and saw MULTIPLE Brodie/Brody/Brady's

Joshua John (and I'm a teacher too!) If you don't want Joshua X at school, then nickname him JJ to make him stand out from others...just a thought.
Joshua by many, many miles.
Joshua by a mile.

Agree
I Like Joshua but love Brodie, but i do have a Broden.
I prefer Joshua
Joshua.
I dislike both names, but Joshua is far better than Brodie, even with John as a middle name.
What's the 'J name thing' being mentioned?
I don't like either name but I would choose Brodie just because it isn't as popular as Joshua.

I only know a girl name Brodie.
I have a Joshua so I should be biased, but I love both of them.
Though i also know 2 females with the name Brodie

Don't need to ask, there is no comparison.
