HelpRe: Josephine
in reply to a message by lola77
1. Do you think it works with my other kids?
Yes. Gwendolen would work the best with your other kids' names, but Josephine works.
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.
The combo has a nice flow, but I'm not too keen on Primrose. I think it's a good way to honor your family members who have the middle name Rose, though. How about Josephine Rosanna?
3. Do you think it matters if the nn rhymes with your last name? My last name sounds like Jovi.
I would try to avoid using a nickname that rhymes with my last name. It depends on how often she would be called by her nickname. If often, chances are her nickname and surname would be used together.
4. Have you noticed many baby Josephines? Does the name still feel fresh to you?
I don't know any personally, but I encounter it here and there. It still seems fresh to me.
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.
A lot of people go by their full names, so I think she could always just go by Josephine.
Josie is a really cute nickname, but Posy is a bit too cutesy for me. It's just a nickname, though, so no big deal really. I just find the sound of Josie much more pleasing.
6. What impression do you have of the name? To me it's spunky and elegant all rolled into one...you?
I get a similar impression. It also has a quaintness to it that makes me think of country cottages and sunlight spilling in through a window onto a kitchen table with homemade lemonade, biscuits, and a jar of jam and on a quiet summer afternoon.
Others on your list:
Louisa - I don't care for the sound of it all that much, but it would work well with your other kids' names.
Fleur - Lovely.
Cordelia - It seems frilly in comparison to Natasha and Scarlett, but it would still work.
Gwendolen - Pretty. It would sound great with Natasha, Scarlett, and Malcolm.
Dahlia - Gorgeous.
