I am really liking the name Josephine.

What do you think?

Any combos to go with it

Also, I know this guy named Cayle. People can never pronounce it right. How would you say its pronounced, at first glance?

This is my resting spot
I can let myself breathe
I may not be perfect
But at least I am free

I love the name Josephine! Nice nicknames would be Jo and Josie. I think it's also very pretty as a middle name.

Combinations I like are...

Josephine Rose
Josephine Isobel
Josephine Melodie

Elanor Josephine
Amelia (Mia) Josephine
Cateline Josephine
Sophie Josephine
Stella Josephine

Any good? ;)

I like it. It reminds me of Jo from Little Women, who I adored as a child.

I love Josephine. The only reason its not on my list is because my dad's mn is Joseph and I think of him...and lets just say I dont get along with him very well. But I still adore the name, with nn Jo or Joey

I know a Josephine who is about a month old. Josephine Maria.

Cayle, to me, would be pronounced like the vegetable kale.

I used to really like Josephine, but now not so much. Josephina is slightly better IMO. Josephine Annette and Josephina Caroline are two combos that immediately come to mind.

I too know a boy named Cayle, and I'd pronounce it KAYL, like the vegetable (herb? I'm not sure what it is). I never hang around with him so I don't know whether or not others know how to pronounce it.

I love Josephine! I think it's a great name that's not used enough.

When I see Cayle I think it would be pronounced with 2 syllables KAY-el, but the 2 syllables sort of blend together so it ends up sound more like Cale.

I have never seen the appeal to Josephine. I like Joseph though.

I really like Cale and can't think of any other way to pronounce it. Seeing as it's spelt with a Y in there, is it pronounced KAY-lee or something? Thats all I can think of.

I like Josephine a bit, but it's not a favorite. I think it's sweet but a little stuffy. I wouldn't particularly describe it as beautiful though I can understand how it would be appealing. Josefa is my preference for female variants of Joseph.

I'd pronounce it like Kale, the vegetable. Needless to say, yuck.

I love Josephine though.
