Definitely Josephine ❤️

Jocelyn. Really don’t like Clementine

AtomicRabbit · 03/05/2020 17:04

I’ve never liked any Jo-anything names, as they often get shortened to Jo which is a somewhat boring name. Or JoJo which is a bit of no-no.

Clementine may well get shortened to Clemmie. It’s ok. I think of a tangerine. I prefer this one the most though.

Clementine

Really like them all actually though would never have thought of them. Sorry, really can’t choose!

Josephine

Jocelyn

Clementine is lovely but I have a thing about names ending in y or ie, so Clementine could become Clemmie.
Jocelyn is beautiful and Joss is nice as a shortening.
Not so keen on Josephine

Josephine

I hate clementine purely as DH has an ex with the name... Josephine is lovely!

Josephine

Jocelyn if I had to choose the others remind me of an old lady

My sister named my niece Clementine - she's gay now, wouldn't recommend.

Eh?

LooseyGoosey · 04/05/2020 10:39

Josephine is a great name!

theotherfossilsister · 04/05/2020 10:39

seconded @peperethecat

dp says - 'What?!'

bigknickersbigknockers · 04/05/2020 10:41

clementine or Josephine

babynamelover · 04/05/2020 10:47

Your saying she's gay because she's called Clementine... No your joking right?

My vote is Jocelyn, fresh and unexpected :)

Canyoutellilikrchocolate · 04/05/2020 10:56

I’ve heard Clementine a lot recently so think it will really spike in popularity, in case that puts you off.

17caterpillars1mouse · 04/05/2020 11:03

I adore Jocelyn. It would definitely be a strong contender if we were to have dd3

userabcname · 04/05/2020 11:43

Clementine! Dislike the other two.

Keiki · 04/05/2020 12:12

Jocelyn is definitely rare, but only use if you won't get upset that every single person that encounters it will spell it differently, no matter how often you tell them.

Frazzled2207 · 04/05/2020 12:17

Not keen on Jocelyn but love the others which we had on our list (we had boys!)
Also had Penelope on our list (Nel for short) which is my all time favourite
