What about
Jodie for
Josephine? It's one of my favorite nicknames. Less obvious than
Josie, longer and girlier than
Jo (while still being fairly tomboy), less infantile than
Fifi.
Gabby and
Jodie sounds good, too.
LISTEN TO THE MUSTN'TS
-
Shel Silverstein
Listen to the MUSTN'TS, child,
Listen to the DON'TS
Listen to the SHOULDN'TS
The IMPOSSIBLES, the WON'TS
Listen to the NEVER HAVES
Then listen close to me—
Anything can happen, child,
ANYTHING can be.
