I love [name_f]Josephine[/name_f] for it’s cozy feel and nickname (Jo), but even more for [name_u]Jo[/name_u] [name_u]March[/name_u], one of my favorite heroines of all time.

A nickname for it is [name_u]Josie[/name_u] which is the name of a small, very friendly tortoiseshell cat that lives on my road.

I love Josephine!!! :yellow_heart:
Mostly (pretty much entirely) because of Jo March from Little Women - she’s smart, she’s sure, and she is honest in all ways! The name is beautiful, feminine but not too much, and ends in a unique sound. Its versatile, translatable in many languages, and timeless.

Nicknames…
Jo
Josie
Jojo
Fifi
Sephie

[name_m]Classic[/name_m], beautiful, timeless, strong, feminine, not popular, great nicknames, underrated, probably going to make a comeback.
I met the cutest little girl with this name and loved it ever since. It surprised me at first and now I’m in love! I’d be down to name my daughter this and call her jo , jojo, & [name_u]Josie[/name_u] :smiling_face_with_three_hearts::smiling_face_with_three_hearts::smiling_face_with_three_hearts::smiling_face_with_three_hearts:
