Have I taken leave of my senses?...

.... Or is Josette a lovely name? I fear people will think me crazy and hormonal but I love it!

Reminds me of Cosette from Les mis which I love.

Same, I think that's why I like it so much!

I've never seen Les mis but I love the name, is it a 'joe' sound or a 'joh'?

Sounds like a brand of sanitary protection to me.

Sounds like a Cosette / Joseph mashup. Why not Cosette?

reminds of a character from dark hadows. vampire tv series later redone as a johnny depp film. Similar in ways to juliet. a romantic type of name.

sorry dark shadows.

Reminds me of the actress from Blake's 7 (that gives my age away but who cares). I like it. Also like Lisette (who I think was another actress, similar era).

Pretty.

I think it's a pretty name.

Lovely name.

Reminds me of the Chalet School!
A nice namr

I like it!

Very 1970s.

I'm not one for 'made up' names but weirdly I like it.

It's not made up, it's a standard French diminutive of Josephine, and has been used as a main name for ages.

There were enough around to be unexceptional and who would be in their late 40s by now (and I was at Guides with one).

I prefer Josephine, nickname Josette or Jo.

I'm afraid it's not a name I've heard used in France (not saying Edith is incorrect, just haven't come across it personally yet).

It just doesn't feel like a 'proper' established name. I too prefer Josephine

I know of a little girl called Josette, and I don't like it at all. It sounds clumsy and awkward when spoken IMO.

I like it. It's pretty. The only one I've come across was in the Chalet School.

I used to know a French Josette, and also a Joselle.

How's it pronounced? Joe-set? Joh-set? Joe/Joh-set-uh?

I'm not sure it works in English.

I quite like it although I'm not sure why! Pretty and rolls off the tongue. Better than lots of names around at the moment!

Sounds like a brand of sanitary protection to me

Hmm, I would say it would something like Joe-zette. The initial 'j' being pronounced similar to the 'j' in darjeeling.

What would a British pronunciation be I wonder

I'm getting american trailer park, perhaps in an old French area in America. Like Louisiana. Josette has a sister called britney. Her neighbour is jolene.
