My little girl is due in 37wks
She has 2 sisters called lilly-marie and patsy and a brother called danny.
My partner wants to call her gypsy Angry let's not even go there.
I love double barrel names but I never use my first borns properly, I just call her lilly. So I really need to encourage family (and myself!) to call her josie-Louise.
My only niggle is everytime I think of josie I picture that nhs boobjob mess of a woman!!!
Anyone like the name josie-Louise, do u think it fits in with the family's names? Honest answers I won't be offended Grin x

I don't like hyphenated names, but Josie Louise is nice as 2 separate names

RJnomore · 10/01/2015 17:08

Aw she's lovely!

Patsy is gorgeous. Such a sweet name too.

bigfam · 10/01/2015 17:11

Go for Josephine Louise - and use the whole of Josephine.

squoosh · 10/01/2015 22:02

Do not use the whole of Jospehine.

squoosh · 10/01/2015 22:03

Josephine even.

I wanted josie for dd, but I let mil put me off.
Maybe its because I'd have registered Josephine but called her josie.

I think josie louise is better, but thats me I'm quite traditional with names.

I like Josie. I'm not anti double barrel but think Josie-Louise is too much of a mouthful if you really want people to use both names. Josie on its own goes really well with Lily, Patsy and Danny.

Iliveinalighthousewiththeghost · 10/01/2015 23:39

Patsy is adorable. Beautiful name BTW.
I agree with other posters Josie-Louise doesn't really flow. Josie-Lou is nice though or how about Josie-Mai

Deerhound · 12/01/2015 12:31

Surely Josie-louise is a footballer?!

Josie is very cute though, and Louise is fine as a middle name.

Patsy is gorgeous!

ScooseIsLoose · 12/01/2015 13:04

I'm a Josephine everyone calls me Josie or jo I'm not sure Louise goes with Josie tho

Levi92 · 12/01/2015 14:45

Lovely names. I really like Josie - not sure about Louise as I think that is a common middle name.

Qwebec · 12/01/2015 19:04

Josie-May is really pretty! and suit an adut well too

Qwebec · 12/01/2015 19:05

meant Josie-Mai

GoofyIsACow · 12/01/2015 19:08

I agree the two names sound clunky together but are both lovely

MamaLazarou · 12/01/2015 20:02

Josie-Louise is lovely. Go for it!

Patsy is a little cutie.

bigfam · 12/01/2015 20:44

Thanks everyone Grin
Think we're going with josie, fits nicely with the rest of their names. X
