I like it. I think it will naturally shorten to Jo but Sephy, Fina and Josie are also available.

It reminds me of Josephine Baker. Famous dancer, civil rights activist and French Resistance agent. Quite the resume :) I like the name because of her.

Strong, yet feminine. And a lot of nicknames to choose from.. Joey, Jojo, Effie, Fifi, Posy, Sephie..

Diane is not my style but it works well as middle name for Josephine.

I think of Jo from Little Women and Joey Potter from Dawson's Creek. Both great namesakes. I also think of Napoleon's wife.

I like it quite a bit.

Josephine is lovely mn Amy, Elise, Eliza, Bianca, Chelsea, Chantel, Esther, Faith, Grace, Rose, Mae, Maeve, Heidi, Imogen, Kate, Laura, Lauren, Naomi, Olivia, Renee, Ruby, Lily, Lucy, Tessa, Stella

It will forever be both old lady and clunky to me. But Josie isn't too bad.

It has a pretty sound to it but I just don’t love it. I like the nn Joey, Fifi, and Josie.

Josephine Eloise
Josephine Colette

I’m the same, I like it but not the nicknames. Josephine Daphne feels like too many fs.

Not a fan. Rhythmically, it sounds heavy and slow; I don't enjoy the nns either; and I really like Joseph for a boy, so Josephine would never get a look-in.

I love Josephine! It helps that I had early positive associations in my life (preschool teacher, and the lady who cut my hair when I was a kid). I feel like Jo is the go-to nickname, though I prefer Josie.

For middle names, I would pair Josephine with something that began with a vowel - like Josephine Eloise, or Josephine Odette.
