I love the name Josephine! I'd probably only ever use it as a MN to honor my uncle, but it is lovely. Josephina/Josefina aren't really my style, though. Josephine Elizabeth is very nice, although it is long, and I much prefer the sp. Elisabeth, anyway. Some MN suggestions:

---

Josephine Grace
Josephine Rose
Josephine Kate
Josephine Lily
Josephine Celeste
Josephine Monica
Josephine Abby
Josephine Marie
Josephine Maria
Josephine Ava
Josephine Carrie
Josephine Hannah
Josephine Hope
Josephine Hayley
Josephine Isabelle
Josephine Iris
Josephine Kyla
Josephine Kaia
Josephine Lacie
Josephine Leila
Josephine Lilia
Josephine Michelle
Josephine Marina
Josephine Nicole
Josephine Olivia
Josephine Rachel
Josephine Raquel
Josephine Rebecca
Josephine Raina
Josephine Skye
Josephine Sadie
Josephine Sarah
Josephine Tara
Josephine Violet
Josephine Victoria

I really like Josephine. I'd potentially use it someday to honor family members (my grandfather was Joseph, my older brother's middle name is Joseph, and my sister is Mary Jo with the "Jo" taken from Joseph). Josie is really cute. Josefina/Josephina are all right, but I prefer Josephine, I think.

I love Josephine, it was probably my first real favourite name (back when I was 10/11), and it hasn't been out of my top 5 since. At the moment it's number 2. I'm almost sure I'd use it (the only thing that would stop me would be if the father didn't like it.)

---

I like Josephine Elizabeth, the length never puts me off.

---

JosephinE Grace was an old combo of mine.

---

At the moment my 'Josephine' combo is Josephine Astrid. I've also had/considered:
Josephine Maria
Josephine Marie
Josephine Carys
Josephine Gaia (GIE-ah)
Josephine Cara (KAH-rah)
Josephine Dora
Josephine Cora
Josephine Margaret
Josephine Mary (my first combo, because it was the full name of Jo Bettany/Maynard in The Chalet School books)
Josephine Flora
Josephine Eva
Josephine Maia (MIE-ah)
Josephine Lilias
Josephine Violet
Josephine Beatrice
Josephine Cecily

I think Josephine is pretty, but I prefer it as a middle name. Josie is ugly, imo. Josephine Grace would be really nice.

I love Josephine its been a favorite of mine for a while now though most of my combo's have it as a middle name as itpairs up very well with my favorite for example Sophia Josephine, Felicity Josephine,
Josephine Elizabeth is on my list too though I prefer the spelling Elisabeth, it is long but its not as if your child would go around being called Josephine Elizabeth she will be just Josephine or Josie

---

my favorite combo's with it as a first name are
Josephine Alice
Josephine Amelia
Josephine Claire
Josephine Kerenza
Josephine Mary
Josephine Marie
Josephine Lily
Josephine Ruby
Josephine Rose
Josephine Sophia

I like Josephine because of the strong-willed character of Little Women and because it is sort of my mothers middle name. Actually, her middle name is just Jo, but if I were to use it as a tribute name I think I would lengthen it.

I prefer Josephine over Josefina and Josephina. My grandmother's name is Josie Ellia, so I'm partial to Josie. How about Josephine Claire, Josephine Ruth, Josephine Pearl, or Josephine Ellia / Elea?

I ♥ Josephine

---

I just really, really, really hope it doesn't become ridiculously popular like Isabelle and Charlotte, though I am expecting it to.

---

Regardless, it's a great name and Josie is a cute nn. My great-great-aunt was named Sephie (full name) but I've always liked it as a nn for Josephine, too. Then, there's Joey if she's a tomboy... Fina for Josefina... and Fifi, Jojo, Posy / Posie... Josephine is VERY versatile.

---

Josefina is a great choice, as well.

---

I would never use Josephine Grace... Grace is such a shallow/filler mn and super overused right now. Ditto for Rose, Emma, Kate, and Lily.

---

For combos, WDYT of...

---

"Elizabeth" combos:
Josephine Eliza
Josephine Lisette, Josephine Lysette
Josephine Ilsa
Josephine Beth (too Little Women, maybe?)
Josephine Lisbet, Josephine Lisbeth

Others:
Josephine Alice
Josephine Frances

I love both Josephine and Josepha (joh-SEE-fuh or joh-SEH-fuh--say it a couple of times, it takes a bit to grow on you ;). Josefina's fine for someone else's kid. Josephina's too many syllables for my tastes.

---

The problem I have with Josephine Elizabeth is that Elizabeth is not all that exciting. Same with Grace--there's a yawner of a middle name.

---

Some ideas:

---

Josephine Rosa
Josephine Sparrow
Josephine Lilith
Josephine Audrey
Josephine Brooke
Josephine Carmen
Josephine Candace
Josephine Alice
Josephine Blanche
Josephine Cecily
Josephine Cecile
Josephine Charlotte
Josephine Asha
Josephine Brigitte
Josephine Clare
Josephine Isla
Josephine Echo
Josephine River
Josephine Luz
Josephine Marcia
Josephine Violet

Josephine is a timeless name, not exactly my style, but it will age well, and it's a classic. I think Josephine Elizabeth is beautiful!

Snape, Sexy and Dangerous!

I like the name Josephine and Grace is my middle name... so Josephine Grace would work good. Other good combinations with Josephine might be

---

Josephine Elise (Similar to Elizabteth but shorther)
and i'll think of some others

---

Josefina Maria (Which dosen't sound that great, but it's my grandmothers name)
I think Josephine sounds nicer than Josefina but the -FINA spelling looks prettier.

I love Josephine Elizabeth! Josephine is my great-grandmother's name, and Elizabeth is my grandmother's (her daughter) middle name which she goes by instead of her first. I don't know that I'd put them together, but they are both beautiful names.
