Josephine

I recently saw Posie as a nickname for Josephine and I think that is so cute!

I love Josephine. So classic, elegant, sophisticated. One of my all time favorites.

Love the nickname Josie!

That name brings me a lot of Titanic vibes. <3
"Come Josephine, In My Flying Machine ..."

I have only started to love this name but its gorgeous. I would love to call my daughter Josephine-Rose. Very regal and cute. Jinny is a great nickname.

my cat is called Persephone

Josephine Elizabeth is my name! It's so long, it doesn't fit on boarding passes for planes - they just say 'Josephine Eli'! I was brought up in a religious community, although my parents chose Elizabeth as an honour name, not for religious reasons!

This is my name, and I've only met three other Josephines in my life. Two of them were over eighty - whilst beautiful, this is something of a granny name where I live. My parents have called me Josie since the day I was born, but it's amazing how many people can't spell it correctly - I've had Jose, Josee, Josey, Josy, Juicy, and even Gypsy! Now I'm more likely to introduce myself as either Jo - which leads to people assuming my name is Joanna - or just the full Josephine.

I'm strongly considering this name for a daughter, this or Caroline.

I've become obsessed with this name. I guess because it's such a feminine, pretty name, but still strong.
I've never heard Josey or Posey being the nickname for Josephine; I love it even more!

My great-grandmother was Edith Josephine too! My daughter was named Audrey Josephine for her (and the many, many Josephs in our family).

Love the name. It's a beautiful yet classic name. This is my grandm's english name (She immigrated to Australia from Malaysia.) Also name of vs angel Josephine Skriver.

One of the most beautiful, feminine names out there

One of my favourites, and I absolutely adore the nickname Josie. Though if I were to use it, it would most likely be as a middle because of my preferred structure of how I want to name my future children (Average length first -> long first middle -> short second middle).

Josephine is OK, I think of the American Girl Doll, Josephina. The NN Posey is OK, and I prefer Josie as a nickname for Jocelyn which is a name I love

Love this name pronounced JosephEEn, not Josephin or JesophAIne or anything else. Such a beautiful name that suites anyone of any age. I wish parents looked more into these timeless classics rather than modern, invented names that don't age quite as well as Josephine.

Josephine sounds soft and sweet, an absolutely gorgeous name. I love the nicknames Josie, Jo, Posey, or even Sophie. It could suit a girl all the way from being a baby to adulthood. So beautiful!

My fathers middle name is the masculine version of this name (Joseph), so thats pretty cool. However, I'm a bigger fan of the name Josephine (sorry dad). It's absolutely stunning, and sounds beautiful when it's said out loud. It's definitely one of my top 5 favourites.

I love the name Josephine Elizabeth. The only thing making me a bit hesitant is that it's soo religious.

Nope. Probably one of my most disliked names.

I love this name! My husbands' grandmother was named Edith Josephine, so we might choose this name if our baby's a girl! If it's a girl, and if we decide on Josephine, her nickname will most likely be Posy.

I think the pronunciation depends on the language...in English, it's Jo-seh-feen. I'm not a Spanish speaker, but I believe it would be Ho-seh-feen. In French it's Zho-seh-feen.

She will forever tell people "it's with a y, not ie". Regardless, I prefer this spelling, I think it looks nicer.

If we have another daughter my husband wants to just name her Josey (after The Outlaw Josey Wales) and I keep telling him that no one will spell it right! He doesn't seem to believe me or care.

My name is Josephine and i've really come to love the name, although my parents gave me the nickname Josey and nobody ever spells it that way.

I love Josephine, but how popular do you think it will get?

My name is Josephine, and i'am proud to bear it.

This is my absolute favorite girl name!

Such a beautiful name. And there are also nice nicknames! Like Posey, Jo, or even Fifi! :)

I had no idea this name is so popular!

♥ this name. But is is pronounced ( ho sah feen) or ( jo)?

I'm just meh about Joseph for a boy name, but I LOVE Josephine for a girl. It's beautiful, classic, sophisticated, unusual enough yet not unheard of and is a lovely vintage name. It ages well too, can fit a baby girl to a grown woman, and has a multitude of nicknames to make one's own according to their personality- Jo, Josie, Seph, Sephy, or just the full Josephine.

Sadly, I can't use this anymore because of my cousin's little daughter Josephine, affectionately called Jojo in the family. She's made me love the name all the more, and I might still consider it for a future daughter's middle name- it flows so nicely with any first given name.

HUGE soft spot for this name however I want to use it but then again I dont. Argh!

Is the other way around for me. :)

I like Joseph, but I don't really share the enthusiasm for Josephine.

One of the classic names that I will love forever!

Pretty name.

One of the few feminizations I actually adore.

I love the connection with Jo March :D

I never thought I would like this name, but I do! It's gorgeous. It just slowly grew on me and is now a favorite.

I would highly consider Josephine as a potential name for my daughter. It's beautiful. Also, my father's name is Joe and my mother's MN is Jo. Perfect, right? Unfortunately, Josephine is too similar to my DD, Persephone. Also, the name Joseph is already used for my nephew's first name (even though he goes by his MN).

Josephine is a gorgeous name and it was my great grandmother's name'

This was on my list and I used it as my daughters first name. Many have commented how they love it

I love this name. It was my great grandmother's and great aunts name so I'm biased. Love the nickname Posey for it. It reminds me of that sweet song from Titanic. "Come Josephine in my flying machine...going up she goes...up she goes" <3

My name is Josephine, and I'm almost 23 and I've never met someone else with the same name! My nickname is Jo, and I always get compliments on my name- I love it! :)

really love this name! hope it doesn't get too popular

Very pretty, but I prefer Josephina or even Josephinia.

Lovely vintage classic, that works perfectly as a first name and a middle name. Josephine is gorgeous.

ADORE this name. It's a perfect, sweet vintage name. The nickname Josie is adorable. Just a great name! I also think it makes a fantastic middle name.

I like Josephina

Love it!
