Josie

[donttouchmychoc]

I'm really gravitating towards this name and I'd be interested to get some feedback.

Jospehine and nickname Josie. love it.

I think it's lovely and works for all ages! I work with a lovely clever Josie!

it feels old fashioned to me, but then the youngest Josie I've known would have been born around 1980. I was at primary with her older sibling.

Would you be using Josie or Josie as a NN for Josephine?

I quite like it
I would personally go for Josephine on the birth certificate though

Good point re whether or not to use as standalone. Josephine is lovely. Thanks hadn't considered that yet.

I like it. Would put Josephine on birth certificate, as I think I prefer it and it would give her more options.

Concur with others re Josephine known as Josie.

Josephine, known as Josie....love it. It was my first choice for DD but DH hated it. 🙄

I really like it, and would use Josette as the full form

I like it

Not Josette

Why mess with it, it's lovely as Josephine and Josie

Josephine nn Josie is really good.

Josette is a perectly good French name that has been around for centuries.

As a nn for Joanna etc then great

Love Josephine.

Jodie or Rosie are better in my opinion :-)

It's really lovely. Both as a stand alone name and as short for Josephine. As long as you don't say it to rhyme with cozy!!

I love it but really don’t like Josephine, I’d go for Joanna on the bc. Love that name but less keen on Jo.

Another that really likes Josephine. Makes me think of Little Women.

How would you say it not to rhyme with cozy?

One of the loveliest people I know is Josephine/Josie so I'm all for it 😊

Congrats

@Puntastic pronouncing it with an S rather than a Z sounds ☺️

I'd go for Josephine and I know two of them: one who goes by Jo and one of whom uses Josie, which I much prefer.

I don't suppose that she is the same one that @Frownette knows, but 'my' Josie is also one of the nicest people I know.

@Puntastic: I assume they meant that Josie should be pronounced with a 'see' sound not a 'zee'.

It's one of my all time favourite girls names.

Yes Josee not Jozee. Much nicer!
