Girl version for Joseph

[Busted2006]

We want to use a girl version for Joseph as my DD middle name.

All I can think of is Josephine and Josie.

I don't love Josephine and Josie doesn't work with the 1st name we have chosen which is Rosa.

Help!!!

Josephina or Mary?

Rosa Zefina sounds pretty

Joey
Josefin
Jo
Sephy
Joss

I think Rosa Joelle sounds nice and if the person you are honouring was sometimes known as Joe then it is clearly a feminine version of that.

Joanna - technically it’s a feminine of John not Joseph but doesn’t really matter

I love Josette

Josephine / Josie

Effy?

Joline

Joyce nn Jo

Long overdue a resurgence.

Seraphine / Seraphina

Joanie

Rosa Jo sounds nice if you don't like the sound of Josephine

Josèphe?
Josefina?

Rosa Joely

I thought of Joelle earlier.

I quite like this one, has a lovely meaning too

Joelle is a lovely name.
However if I was e.g. gran and you said it was after my dead husband Joseph I wouldn't see the connection.

So I still think do it properly or not at all (or keep the tenuous link to yourselves).

Using the seph part,

Rosa Seraphine
Rosa Persephone

Rosa Jolie
Rosa Josepha

Rosa Josephine is beautiful!

Josette

You can use Joseph as it is
Rosa Joseph

Joanne
Joanna
Joelle
Jolie
Jordana
Jogia

I absolutely LOVE the sound of Rosa Josephine but if you don't, I like the previous idea of -

Rosa Seraphine

Rosa as a first name is stunning!
