Which is your favourite out of these names?

[Bellyrub1980]

Have included the NN we would likely use in each case:

Jessica (Jessie/Jess)
Josephine (Josey/Jo)
Madeline (Maddie)

Josephine - has so many abbreviations and is one you can really string out when you need to!

I dislike Jessica due to 2 people that I know with that name who are not at all nice.

Madeline - I wouldn't.

Josephine is my favourite.

The other two are okay.

In my order of preference -
Madeline - association with McCann wouldn't put me off, didn't even think of it till pp mentioned it.
Josephine - classic, lots of nn potential
Jessica - very common! But a nice name

Josephine/Josie

Not keen on the other two at all.

Jessica

Jessica Nn Jessie

I really, really dislike Jessica. Not sure why exactly - maybe because it has the same sound as the word 'sick' in it.

Madeleine I'm not hugely keen on but it's a little better. Josephine I like - but would go for Posy as a nn.

Josephine first, then Madeleine (not Madeline though). Jessica third..

Josephine - I'm very fond of it actually

I like all the names! I guess Josephine is the most original at the moment, I prefer the spelling Josie for the nickname though - I see Josey and think like JOES-ee rather than JO-see. I love Jessica, it's a bit 90s but that doesn't matter really, I live the nickname Jessie. Madeline is pretty, makes me think of the little french girl, Maddie is a cute nickname but fairly common with the Madisons and Madeleines.

Jessica

Jessica and Madeline are my favourites - yes you can spell Madeline that way but personally I prefer the French way - Madeleine.

Josephine is quite nice though, and a bit more unusual.

My name is Jessica and Josey was our 2nd choice for DD born last month. So those two, and def not Madeline.

Love Josephine. I know 2 in early 20s, both nn Jose. Jessica and Madeline both pretty but overused in this generation imo.

Madeleine

Then Jessica
