Josephine Ivy?

@shaymin2 - I really love Cora! I know you suggested Coral, haha, but I like Cora so much more and it is quite similar. I was also tossing around Lillian Cora ____ for my Lily name, too. It could be a possibility!

Obviously Josephine Ivy is a huge hit! I love Ivy, but not quite enough for a FN, so I thought it might be perfect as a MN... I'm not quite as convinced as everyone else, though... Josephine Esme and Josephine Sophia, maybe even Josephine Clara, have more personality to me. I think I like Ivy Josephine more than Josephine Ivy...

Josephine Ivy is cute. I just picture a sweet little blonde girl with pigtails skipping her way to school! I don't think it is perfect though, something just seems a bit off for me but I cannot place what. I love Josephine Sophia (I am on a major Sophia kick at the moment) but it has so many repeating sounds that the flow is a little off. Do you know what the 2nd mn would be, I think that might give us all a better idea of where the combo is going. Obviously I love Josephine Clara as well! Josephine Esme is cute, but I say Esme more like Es-mee than Es-may so it makes the combo very long E heavy to me. What about Josephine Clara Ivy or Josephine Ivy Sophia?

I feel the same way about Josephine Ivy! It seemed to be such a big hit on this thread but there's just something off about it to me. and haha, I say Esme the same way. I try to say ez-MAY, but it always comes out ez-mee, and tbh, I like it better that way.

MN would honor family, most likely... I don't know for sure but I've been leaning toward Kate or Pearl. That's not really set, though...

I think Josephine Ivy is gorgeous! I definitely prefer Ivy to Esme and Sophia.

A couple suggestions:
Josephine Alice
Josephine Aria
Josephine Sadie
Josephine Gemma
Josephine Poppy

What does everyone think about Josephine Emilia?

I'm not feeling Josephine Ivy as much as everyone else has (much as I lovelovelove Ivy!), and Emilia is a variant of my great-grandmother's MN (Amelia). I've never been too keen on Amelia, but I love Emilia! My great-grandmother was an amazing woman and I know my mom and grandma would be thrilled to see her name passed on.

How does Josephine Emilia compare to Josephine Sophia and Josephine Esme? Josephine Clara? I know Josephine Sophia has flow issues but I can't help loving it, and the fact that it means "[God] will increase wisdom" means a lot to me.

I like Josephine Emilia, but not as much as Josephine Ivy. And honestly, I don't see or hear that much of a difference between Emilia and Amelia.

The meaning of Josephine Sophia is beautiful, but I still think Josephine Ivy sounds better and has more personality than all of them put together.

well, lol, the difference between Amelia and Emilia is supposed to be minimal. That's why I picked it. I don't mind the sound of Amelia... I just can't stand the look. There is a subtle difference between Amelia (ah-MEEL-yuh) and Emilia (eh-MEE-lee-ah) to me, though. Emilia just sounds and looks sweeter to me.

I do like Josephine Ivy, but @thetxbelle came up with it first, and we were talking, and it sounds like it's one of the few names her husband would agree to, so I wouldn't want to take that from her. Especially when I don't especially love Josephine Ivy to begin with. I've been thinking about fitting Ivy somewhere else, like Magda Ivy or Ivy Josephine, even, or maybe even somewhere else. I don't know yet. Josephine Ivy is lovely, just not for me, I think.

I like Josephine Emilia the best by far! I say Amelia and Emilia just slightly different. (Uh-mee-lee-uh and EE-mee-lee-uh) so the difference to me is not really enough to say I have a preference other than preferring A to E as an initial LOL. Josephine Emilia Pearl would be STUNNING!! It just looks so sweet and classy when I see it. Definitely a winner!

Josephine Ivy and Josephine Emilia are both so gorgeous that I'm not sure if I can pick one, so how about combining them? Would you be open to either Josephine Ivy Emilia or Josephine Emilia Ivy?

Hmm, maybe! I actually like the idea of the three of them together... I'm not sure which way I would prefer it. I also love Sophia with Ivy... maybe Josephine Ivy Sophia or Josephine Sophia Ivy...
