Steely Dan wrote a great song about "Josie".
That's what I think of when I hear the name.
There was a cartoon in the 60's/70's called "Josie and the Pussycats".

Lovely

ReginaPerrin · 27/08/2022 01:23

I think it’s a really lovely name.

Josie Lawrence makes this name cool.

I love that name !❤️

I like it with a soft s but I don't like it pronounced Jo-zee.

I love it, but for me it would need to be short for the fabulous Josephine.

I don’t love it but it’s a bit tinged for me because I went to school with one who was weird! It was her full name btw and I didn’t know at the time it was ‘meant’ to be short for anything.

I do prefer Josie to Jodie but I think Josephine is better than either.

No, just by itself.

I think it would be a bit odd as the full name as people as it's so linked to Josephine, sorry OP. Like a Jess who wasn't a Jessica. I think Jodie could be a good alternative?

Meh.

Joni is much nicer!

I think it's ok as a nickname- are you meaning for it to be short for something?

No, just by itself.

Grosey josie - saw too many teen movies for me to like this name. Jodie? Jolie?
