Has anybody come across a Josephine with the nickname pepper?
Apparently the Spanish equivalent of Joe is pepe and Google lists pepper as an option for a nickname for Josephine?

Any thoughts on Josephine?
Would sephy be too boyish for a girls nickname?

honestly - nn tend to form themselves.

You can call you child any nn you like.

I cannot see anything boyish about Sephy. And if you like Pepper then use it, no need to explain the link.

The only Josephines I've known have been Josie. Pepper seems tenuous unless you have spanish heritage.
