Nicknames for Josie

[whirligig]

I am finding it a nightmare to find nicknames for Josie (not Josephine). I don't really like my name and if I had a nickname then I could be called that instead. I don't look like a Jo and I hate Jose (pronnounced joe-s) so any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in Advance

My only other thought would be Joey or Jojo, both of which are really close to Jo.

I suppose you could opt for Cece or Posey, but those are both quite a bit of a stretch.

Well - as you know Josie is a nn for Josephine, so other Josephine nns might be logical choices for you. Effie is a neat vintage one. I wonder if Essie works.
What is your middle name? maybe there is inspiration to be found there???

Why would you need a nickname for Josie?

To boyandgirl:
I need a nickname because I don't really like my own name so I could be called by that instead.

To lynae:
I love Effie just don't think that it would come naturally to other people as I am not a Josephine and my middle name is Kate

To ashthedreamer:
How do you pronnounce Cece?


Thanks to everyone so far

[lynae]

Well, Do you like Kate more than Josie?

[whirligig]

To lynae: Yes-I like it more than Josie but I wouldn't want to be called it full time. Sorry for being awkward.

The only other name I can think of is Jay

If you don't like your name, maybe you could change it instead?

The only I didn't see was this one:
Cee?

Well, if Polly could be a nn for Mary, Daisy a nn for Margaret and Posey a nn for Josephine, I think it's okay to use a nn that people might think is a stretch How about Rosie, for example? I don't know really, pick something you like and make up some story to tell people if they wonder why you have a nn that doesn't evolve naturally from Josie
