HelpJosephine
I'm not pregnant...just TTC and have been compiling my list since forever. I have one DSD Natasha, DD Scarlett and DS Malcolm. Up until very recently, the number one name on our list was Louisa (Lulu)- I still absolutely adore it but there are reasons I'm still looking for alternatives. One name I've loved since the beginning of time is Josephine and although I know it is more popular now than in many years, I've never met a little Josephine and I live in a pretty hipster naming area...know a Blythe, Adelaide, Bernard, Sybilla etc...which PS, I love:) Anyhow...for whatever reason I haven't really considered Josephine and all of a sudden, I'm madly in love with it. So....a few questions.
1. Do you think it works with my other kids?
2. I'm in love with the combo Josephine Primrose Anne (Anne is my middle name and my mom's...Primrose would honour my grandmother and all her sisters who shared the middle name Rose)...we'd use the nickname Posy, which I also adore.
3. Do you think it matters if the nn rhymes with your last name? My last name sounds like Jovi.
4. Have you noticed many baby Josephines? Does the name still feel fresh to you?
5. Do you think I could pull of always having her be Josphine or Posy? I wouldn't want Jo...maybe Josie but not Jo...my brother-in-law is Joe so it's a no.
6. What impression do you have of the name? To me it's spunky and elegant all rolled into one...you?
Pwef...I know that was a lot of questions and please don't feel like you have to go through all of them...just wanted to give you an idea of what I was thinking.
And just for background info...other names on our list are:
Louisa, Fleur (this and Willow are DH's favourite names ever,) Cordelia (though hubs is a no on this one,) Gwendolen and Dahlia.
Thanks!!!
