Josephine is ok, it works much better as a mn though imo. If used as a fn, then Jo or Josie are cute nns. As for siblings, I quite like the sound of Josephine, Edmund and Felicity.

I still adore it. Not sure if I’d use Josie or Joey as a nickname. I’d definitely prefer none but that’s probably not realistic.
Josephine, Ingrid and Bernard.

I don't know if I ever loved Josephine, but I have always liked Joseph, Serafina, and three syllable names.
I think Josephine is like a sepia photograph. It's muted and maybe artful. It's understated, not without dignity.

Probably wouldn't use a NN, but if I did, Jo.
Sibling could be: Violet, Florence, Isabel, Julian, Emanuel, Christopher.

I really love it because of Jo March and it's really grown on me. It's classic and not too feminine.
I would use Josie or Jo as a NN.
Her brother would be Augustus and her sister would be Henriette or Colette.

I like Hazel Josephine for a girl too.

It's a nice name nn Josie brother Alexander Anthony Nicolas sister Genevieve Cassandra Vivienne

I don’t dislike it, but I’m not all rosy-cheeked over it anymore either. It was refreshing for a bit, but then it got lost in the old lady wave. Plus, it’s just not a pretty name. The sound isn’t super appealing, to me at least.

I’d prefer no nickname. Josie is horrible.

Josephine, Marigold, and Peter

Beautiful.

Josephine is a name I've loved since I was a little girl, in huge part because there were women with the name who impacted my life positively: pre-school teacher, first person to cut my hair, etc. It's a name that's always in my periphery if not actually in my Top 10, and one I'd gladly use in real life.

---

For nicknames, I'm more partial to Josie than Jo, though the latter isn't bad.

---

Josephine's siblings would likely have names like Theodore, Caroline, Victoria, Edmund, and other Victorian / Belle Époque names.

I like Josephine, though I wouldn't say I love it. I don't think I'd use a nickname, though Josie is cute. Maybe Eleanor or Margaret for a sister. Philip or Daniel for a brother.

What do you think of Josephine? When I first joined BtN, everyone loved this name.
When I joined everyone liked it, I guess. And loved Eloise, imo.

---

Do you still love it?
Well, I like Josephine, it's not everlasting love, but it's a beautiful and so-called classy name.

---

What would you use as a nickname?
Josie

---

What would you name a brother and sister?
Lionel or Nathan
Genevieve or Sylvia

It's nice, but I can't see myself naming my baby this. I like it as a middle name. It's nice to hear on someone else though. I had a customer named Josephine who was a woman. It's popular on young girls now.

I don't think it's very attractive at all. The feen ending sounds like some chemical, probably not good to breathe and might leave a gummy residue on the windows or something.
I think Jo is cute as a nn but if I wanted to use it I'd use the full name Joanna. I also like Jodi but would just use it by itself.
