Josie

Josie is such a beautiful name. It is really girly and cute!

Josie is a cute name. I think I might use it.

It's kind of a "meh" name to me. Nothing specific I dislike about it, but I just don't like it for some reason. Could be the "JOES" at the beginning, idk.

Super sexy.

(WARNING: OPINION/j) I think Josie is better then Jo. But I wouldn't call my child Josie, it would be a nickname to me.

I'm really sorry, but I can't take this name seriously. It sounds very silly to me, I'm really sorry about that, but I can't help it. Seriously, Josie?

Let's see, as a child nickname for a little girl whose name is Johanna or Josephine and only her family and close friends call her that, okay. Seem right. I like Jo, Hana or Phina better, but whatever you want. Josie is fine.

---

But if the girl is older or an adult, or as a full name, no way. Who would take a grown woman by the name of Josie seriously? Imagine a lawyer, judge or politician with that name. No, not that. Please. It sounds ridiculous.

I think Josie is a cute name. I like it as a given name and also as a nickname for Josephine, Joanne, Johanna.

Don't EXACTLY see the appeal...

As someone else said, Josi is a really cute, sassy and offbeat alternate spelling.

The name Josie is packed with sugary sweetness. It's so cute! You could name your little girl this. I'm sure she'd love it. It's adorable, cheerful and positive. It sounds bright and bubbly.

Josey Cirrini is one of the protagonists in the book 'The Sugar Queen' by Sarah Addison Allen. She is sweet, slightly insecure, addicted to candy and head over heels in love. Nice, responsible girl.

Time to retire it.

I actually think this is a really cute name/nickname. I think it's an awesome nickname for Josephine! However I do think it seems like it would be a little girl's name though.

Kind of bratty-sounding, and infantile as an actual name. Jo is much nicer.

I guess this could probably be a nickname for Joseph and other names with a similar sound as well.

I don’t really like Josie. It’s really childish and a name that belongs to brats.

Spoiled condescending brat.

Nice enough name, but knew a not so nice girl with it and can't get past that association.

Great as a nickname.

One of my best friends' name is Josie, but it’s just Josie. Her identical twin is named Olive and their older sister is named Ruby. I personally really like the name Josie but I never really liked it until I met the girl. I think it’s really cute and pretty and it sounds sexy and attractive.

My name is Josie, and I really love it! It sounds so springy and happy. Mine's not short for Josephine though; my full name is Josette. Also, I've only met about three other Josies in my entire life, so definitely good if you want a unique name.

My name is Josie and I can’t imagine having any other name! It's short for Josephine but no one calls me that and I don’t really like it so I’m Josie. I’ll have my friends react really weird to sub teachers calling me Josephine and one time a kid was like “there’s no one in our class named Josephine!” I don't mind though. I have only ever met two other Josie’s in my whole life so I’m not sure how common it is. Some people say it Jo-See and others say it Jo-Zee and there isn’t really a difference to me.
Good middle names are Belle, Iris, violet. I just like those.

Josie can also be a nickname for Joseph. If Josie can be a nickname for Josephine, it can be a nickname for any Jose- names.

I like the name Josie, it sounds jaunty and friendly, but I prefer it as a nickname to Josephine. I have a friend called Josephine who alternately goes by Josie, Jo, Feeny and Fifi.

I think this name is adorable. My best friend/cousin is a Josie and she is the cutest little 12 year old I've ever seen. She's so tiny and I call her Josie most of the time but occasionally JoJo. Her birth name is JOSIE not JOSIPHEEN (or how ever you spell that) you don't have to name your daughter Josepheen in order to call her Josie!

This is my dear friend's name, short for Josephine, and I love her very much so that makes me love the name too. Pretty and sweet, just like her :)

Josie is sooooooo much better than "Jo". Josey is such a beautiful name, like "Rose" but better. I can't believe anyone who doesn't like this name! I'm going to name my daughter Josephine just so that I can call her Josie. :)

I wouldn't describe the name Josie as cute, as I have a Great-Aunt with this name.

It's cute, but it makes me think of Josie and the Pussycats.

This is cute and, at the same time, very rich -- one of the most wholesome nicknames out there.

I have always hated this pet form of Josephine, and would prefer it if Josephines went by Jo. Even Joey is better. The name just sounds ugly to me.

Good nickname for Josette.

Cute, cute, cute!

I find that the majority of parents whom choose this name pronounce it Jowz-ee, which, for some reason bothers me! If it is spelled Josie, then pronounce it Jows-ee! That way, it sounds more puerile (in a good way, of course), tranquil and prepossesing to the child, so people can probably expect a child that is eagerly compliant in living her life.

I think this is a very beautiful name, for any girl. And a cute, different spelling is Josi.

Just plain CUTE!
