Josefina

Can I just say that while I would be more likely to use Josephine, I'd opt for the spelling Josefina over Josephina, which strikes me as heavy. Josefina is spritely and the f makes it look slender and elegant. I also like Josefine (Danish).

The same goes for Serafina v Seraphina for me.

I have long admired the combo Josefina Elisabeth.

Ada Josephine is lovely.

I don't like Josefina, because it is more predominantly Spanish and would look odd in my family. I like the English looking classic ph.

Then I would definitely go with Josephine instead of Josephina -- Josephina is just too much.
