Willa and Josephina?
What do you think of these two feminizations, Willa and Josephina? Do they sound too old fashioned? Do you like Josie or Fina better as a nickname?Thanks!

I forgot how much I love Willa! Willa is probably old-fashioned if that's something you're concerned about but I wouldn't care haha. Josephina's great too. Another one that might interest you is Josepha, I LOVE Josepha, nn Sephy. Out of those two nicknames though, I'd go with Josie.

I LOVE Willa like crazy and while I like Josephina, I prefer the simpler Josephine...my favourite nn for it is Fi...Josie is very cute too!

Willa is okay, but I prefer Josephine to Josephina. The -ina is unecessary, IMO.I like Jo as a NN, by the way.

I'm liking Willa more and more, a sophisticated version of Willow. Josephina isn't really my style. I'd use Posey as a nn though. Or Fina from your choices.

I like Willa, but prefer Josefina or Josephine. Old fashioned names seem to be coming back, so I wouldn't worry about that. I like Josie better, but Fina is fine.

Willa is gorgeous. I'm not as fond of Josephina- I prefer Josephine - but it's still okay. I like Fina better than Josie.

I would LOVVVVEEEE Wilhelmine and Josefina nn Willa and Fina but I quite like Willa and Josefina as well. They are lovely, feminine and NOT too old fashioned!

I love both names. They're not too old fashioned in my opionion. Personally I would go even more old fashioned and use Wilhelmina nn Willa. I like Jo as a nickname for Josephina, but both Josie and Fina could work.
