HelpRe: Josephine?
in reply to a message by Daenerys
I think it would be okay. I don't automatically assume that a Josephine was even named after a Joseph, and Joseph isn't even the first thing that comes to mind when I encounter Josephine. I think of people I've named Josephine first.
If someone I knew named a daughter Josephine, my guess would be that she named her child after a relative, not an ex, if she happened to have named the child after anyone at all.

yes, i do believe that Josephine is the feminine version of Josesph. Jessica is the feminine version of Jesse, Michelle is the feminine version of Mike, Erica is the feminine version of Eric, Corinne sounds to me like a feminine version of Cory, Kylie sounds like Kyle, Daniella sounds like Dan or Daniel, Deena rhymes with the masculine Dean, Jacqueline rhymes with the masculine name Jack. some names are like this where both genders have a version of the name. then there's unisex names like Kelly and Jordan and Cory or Kori.
to answer the question, i believe that if a woman named her child after her ex....then it would seem to me that she really loved her ex. in your example, i think it would be proof to me that the woman really loved Joseph so much that she had the feminine version of Joseph, she had Josephine.

I don't think Jesse and Jessica are related. Same goes for Cory and Corinne
