Amelie Josephine Kay or India Josephine Kay

RosesAndHellebores · 22/10/2022 22:55

The first thing I saw op was: jokay and inkay - jokey and inky.

That takes Josephine and India out for me.

Imogen Lara but initials ILK.
Amelia Josephine

DramaAlpaca · 22/10/2022 22:56

Josephine Lara Kay. Love that.

Pottedpalm · 22/10/2022 22:58

Is Josephine on the rise? I see it featured on several recent threads. I love Josie as an abbreviation.

Josephine is my favourite of your first names. I also quite like Imogen.

I'd go with Josephine Francesca or Imogen Francesca.

SunshineLoving · 22/10/2022 23:01

Out of your suggestions, I would personally go with Amelie. Amelie Josephine and Amelie Francesca are both lovely.

I think Josephine as a first name seems a bit outdated but I can appreciate it as a middle name.

Kanaloa · 22/10/2022 23:08

They’re all quite nice - the only one I’d avoid is India, which I really dislike. It has sort of colonial undertones that I find uncomfortable.

Imogen is really nice. Amelia/Amelie is very very popular if that bothers you. If it was my choice I’d choose Josephine Lara!

Dreamingcats · 22/10/2022 23:14

India Josephine or Josephine Lara. Or Josephine India!

andrea4321 · 22/10/2022 23:17

Amelie Lara Kay - beautiful!

MissedItByThisMuch · 22/10/2022 23:21

Imogen Lara or Josephine Lara for me. The J Kay/Jo Kay thing doesn’t seem like a problem to me.

FivePotatoesHigh · 22/10/2022 23:27

Another vote for Imogen Lara. The initials are fine!

Avidreader69 · 22/10/2022 23:28

I like Josephine Francesca.

Avidreader69 · 22/10/2022 23:29

Maybe not though, with initials JFK.

OhILoveDoughnuts · 22/10/2022 23:31

Imogen Lara Kay

Babygirlnameq · 22/10/2022 23:40

Josephine and India are my favourite two from your list.

DeeDeeDaisy · 22/10/2022 23:45

Amelie Josephine or Josephine Francesca

pitterypattery00 · 23/10/2022 01:38

the only one I’d avoid is India, which I really dislike. It has sort of colonial undertones that I find uncomfortable.
Completely agree with this.

My favourite of your list is Josephine Francesca. As PP said, Jo Kay doesn't really work but Josie Kay is fine.

Pixiedust1234 · 23/10/2022 01:45

First of all they are lovely names. Its not often I like them all 😂

Amelia Josephine is my favourite.

mathanxiety · 23/10/2022 01:49

I only like Josephine from your list of first names. Lovely name imo.

I love Lara too, though you want it as a middle name.

Lara Josephine Kay
Josephine Amelie Kay
Lara Francesca Kay
Josephine Imogen Kay

Mumofgirls2017 · 23/10/2022 08:08

Amelie Josephine

WildCherryBlossom · 23/10/2022 08:56

Imogen Lara !

IbizaToTheNorfolkBroads · 23/10/2022 09:38

Josephine is one of my most favourite girls names. Imogen Josephine Kay would give cool alphabetical initials!

Fuckallthetories · 23/10/2022 09:41

Josephine Lara Kay
(can shorten Josephine to joss/josie when older)
Amelia Josephine Kay
(Amelia Josie)

nelliebear8 · 23/10/2022 10:18

My favourite is Lara, but if it has to be a middle name, then

Amelie Josephine Kay

FayCarew · 23/10/2022 10:26

Amelia - been popular too long. don't like it anyway
Josephine - ok. Jo, Joss or Josie? Jo K not great
Amelie - meh, Emily is nicer
India - just no
Imogen - not keen on Immy

Josephine - ok
Francesca - ok
Lara - Laura is nicer

Imogen Lara or Josephine Francesca
(ILK or JFK)
