This is weird, and I can't explain it. I like Joe very much indeed as a nn for a boy - Joel or Joseph. I dislike Joey in every shape or form. And in spite of Louisa May Alcott's best endeavours, I really cannot warm up to Jo for a girl. Or, indeed, to Joe for a girl.

Josephine is quite nice, but I like Joseph/Joel too much to consider using it. Josepha is just alien to me. I love Joanna, like Joan a lot and can't stand Joanne. And what puts me off Joanna is the very real possibility of Jo as a nn! Which it routinely is for Joanne, of course.
