Will Josephina automatically be Jo?

I like Josephina, OH likes Stephanie (as per my previous thread.) I have a friend called Josefina, goes by Fina, which I like. She is Belgian, and OH is convinced that, like it or not, in the UK, Jo is inevitable. What do you reckon?

I know a Josephine who is a Sepphy (not sure how it is spelt) which is very cute.

Josephina sounds very clunky to me. Jo would be a blessing.

I would think Josephina would naturally get Josie or Sephie?

Posy is a nn for Josephine.

I think Jo is unlikely actually.

Blooming phone. Depth = Sephy

Ooh, forgot to ask, is it a bit try hard? OH thinks so Confused

I would think Josie quite likely (which I love). You could try and aim for Depth, but you don't always get a choice in these things!
