It's only one letter away from Jo. It's not that bad.

Then why not use Jo?
Jo for girls, and Joe for boys. It makes it easier to know whether the person is a boy or girl. Why create unnecessary confusion? And a nickname is different story. You can spell that however you want because you have your formal name to fall back on.

Maybe Jo would be just as weird in France/Israel as Joe on a girl seems to English people.

I know it's honoring, but I'd prefer a person using Josephine and then calling her Jo/Joe. But to each his/her own.
