What do you think of the name Josephine? And do you think you can have a josie if you have a Lucy??

It's lovely

midsomermurderess · 08/03/2021 19:16

I rather like it. Currently I connect it with the foxy, morally-ambiguous one in Spiral.

@Pinkpeaches22

Have you ever seen it spelt like josaphine? Do you think that’s an option?!
God no don't miss-spell it! That's a bit chavvy sorry! Nothing wrong with the conventional spelling
stayathomer · 08/03/2021 17:32

I love it whole!! Or Jo, but I just think Josephine is beautiful!

GreenEyedDevil · 08/03/2021 17:31

It’s lovely

Love Josephine

AlwaysLatte · 08/03/2021 00:36

I wanted to shorten my DD4 ( now 20) to Fifi. So thought about Josephine. Settled on Seraphina
I love the name Seraphina! One of my favourites.

AlwaysLatte · 08/03/2021 00:34

It's a lovely and goes beautifully with Lucy!

Firebird83 · 08/03/2021 00:25

It’s lovely and fine with Lucy

DarcyJack · 08/03/2021 00:07

Yes this is a great name! Works well with Lucy too.

RoseMartha · 08/03/2021 00:05

I like it and works well with Lucy

PainterInPeril · 08/03/2021 00:03

Josephine is one of my favourites at the moment, with the nicknames Jo or Joey.

Tambourina · 07/03/2021 23:34

Love Josephine

ParkheadParadise · 07/03/2021 22:46

Yes, I like it
My sister's name

sadpapercourtesan · 07/03/2021 22:45

Love it, but I would have Fina as a nickname (I knew a lovely German Josephine who was Fine, pronounced Fina)

Love both names! Both sound fine with Lucy, I think.

zigaziga · 07/03/2021 20:52

Josephine is a beautiful name.

EileenGC · 07/03/2021 20:40

I hate nicknames in general, but Josie is one of a few exceptions. It helps that I know a couple of extremely cute baby Josies! I also really like Jo as an adult nn, and Josephine for the full name is beautiful.

MuddleMoo · 07/03/2021 20:36

Ooh nice!

Quercus3 · 07/03/2021 19:05

Love it! And it's lovely with Lucy

toastofthetown · 07/03/2021 15:33

I like Josephine and I don't think Josie and Lucy are a problem. I also like Posy and Sephy as nicknames. I will say that almost every adult Josephine I know has been Jo, which would rule the name out totally for me

Porridgeoat · 07/03/2021 15:30

Beautiful name
