I just adore Josephine, I think it's gorgeous. Other than the obvious Josie/Jo, I know a Josephine that goes by Posey and my nan goes by Joey. I think Posey is just so cute as a nickname and on its own. For middle names I really like Fleur & Flora.

Go for it!! It's a gorgeous, gorgeous name -- and a classic with a ton of history. (Empress Josephine! Jo March!)

It's on my super-short list if one of the babies we're expecting turns out to be a girl.

Nicknames: I actually love Jo, so cute and spunky! But there's also Posey, Jojo, Fina, Effie, Joss....Fifi also a possibility (but not one I happen to love).

I really like the name. My mother is from The Netherlands, and her name is Josephina, but she's always gone by the Dutch nickname for that, which is Fietje (basically pronounced Fee-cha).

LOVE Josephine. (Josepha is a family name for me and on my short list...)

Thank you for the feedback everyone! I really do love the name Josephine. I got some great ideas and will now think them over carefully

Josephine is absolutely fabulous. It's the perfect vintage but familiar, feminine but strong name. My fave nn's are Josie and Posey. I actually met a little 3 year old Posey (Josephine,) and the name was cute as a button on her.

I like it.

For nn options I still like Jo & Josie, would add Sophie, Soph, Fee (Phee) but think that Posy is the winner.

[rachelxoxo]

Hmmmm I like the nn Josie. I see that you didn't want that nn but I don't know why. I like it. LOL. I don't love the name but I like the nn Josie. Well good luck!

You could call Josephine "Jos" (with a long "o"), "Phina," "Phiphi" (Fifi), or Jophy.

Here are some combos I like:

Josephine Annabelle
Josephine Rosalie
Josephine Gabrielle
Josephine Leta
Josephine Carina
Josephine Mira
Josephine Blakely
Josephine Eleanor
