Josephine? Nickname pepper?

Has anybody come across a Josephine with the nickname pepper?
Apparently the Spanish equivalent of Joe is pepe and Google lists pepper as an option for a nickname for Josephine?

Any thoughts on Josephine?
Would sephy be too boyish for a girls nickname?

In some Spanish speaking countries, “pepa” is a slang term for vulva. It’s used a bit like “pussy”, so quite vulgar.

So no, Pepe does not stretch to Pepper…

She’ll be called Pig.

Sephy is a more natural nn for Seraphina.
All the Josephines I know are called Jo or Josie.
