Some of the ee-ending nns feel babyish but others I think grow up well. I think that Timmy, Teddy and Sammy are quite babyish, but I have no trouble picturing a grown-up Danny, Bobby or Charlie.
For Josephine:
Jo is cute and grows up well.
Josie is predictable but doesn't feel especially grown up.
Jojo is cute, but mainly for family and close friends.
Fifi is awful. It feels not only babyish but baby-talkish as well, like maybe a baby's mispronunciation of pee-pee. lol
Jodi could be a very cute nn for Josephine and I think it grows up well.
There is Joss, though that's not very intuitive given the long o of Josephine.
There's Joey, but that feels babyish on a boy or a girl.
Before you criticize a man, walk a mile in his shoes. That way, when you criticize him, you're a mile away and you have his shoes!
