Clara and Josie for sisters?

Hi everyone!
What do you think of Clara and Josie as sisters? (hypothetically)
I love the two and I think they go beautifully together, but I want your input.
Is Josie too nicknamey in comparison to Clara? Do you think she’d be jealous of her sister’s more formal feeling name?
And would Josie and Clara be better, or Clara and Josie? (order)
Thank you so much! :sparkles: :tulip:

P.S - It’s JOZE-ee, not JO-see (rhymes with Rosie not Jessie)

I would be fine being named [name_f]Clara[/name_f], but I would be resentful if I were named [name_u]Josie[/name_u].

I love [name_u]Josie[/name_u]! I don’t see what is wrong with the name as [name_f]Eloise[/name_f] and [name_f]Elsie[/name_f] and similar names are popular right now. Could always go with [name_f]Josephine[/name_f] and [name_f]Clara[/name_f]

Would you feel the same r.e [name_f]Josephine[/name_f] “Josie”?

Yeah, I thought that - just that [name_f]Josephine[/name_f] is a lot longer than [name_f]Clara[/name_f].
But [name_f]Josephine[/name_f] and [name_f]Clara[/name_f] flows nicely that way, as well as [name_f]Clara[/name_f] and [name_f]Josephine[/name_f].
I do love [name_u]Josie[/name_u], and I’m compelled to use a certain middle for my first, and that particular middle works with [name_u]Josie[/name_u] not [name_f]Josephine[/name_f].

Then I would go with [name_u]Josie[/name_u]! Really one of my all-time favorites and a beautiful name imo!

I personally find [name_f]Josephine[/name_f] unattractive so yes, but I know many who love the name.

Thank you! And just [name_u]Josie[/name_u] works well with [name_f]Clara[/name_f]?

I think they work great (Josephine is better but I think the vibe is solid)! They are both unexpected classics

Names id pair with [name_u]Josie[/name_u] and [name_f]Clara[/name_f]:

As for age order, [name_f]Clara[/name_f] reads “older sib” to me :two_hearts::sparkles:

I love these! Thank you so much!
Clara, Josephine and Imogen would be gorgeous.
I just adore Imogen!!
I also like Clara, Josie and Kate as well! (For a shorter theme).
Clara is very versatile in my opinion - it doesn’t look too short with Josephine and Imogen, and fits right in with Josie and Kate!

i do think Josie feels too nicknamey next to Clara. it definitely depends on the person but i, personally, would be jealous if my sister was Clara and i was Josie. i think Josephine works better with Clara, despite the difference in length

What would you recommend with [name_f]Clara[/name_f] then?
[name_u]Josie[/name_u] is a family name and it’s very important to me, and tbh I prefer it over [name_f]Clara[/name_f].
Would you feel the same if you were [name_u]Josie[/name_u] and your sister was [name_f]Kate[/name_f]?

[name_f]Calla[/name_f] and [name_u]Josie[/name_u] could be a nice combo!
[name_u]Or[/name_u] even [name_u]Josie[/name_u] and [name_f]Claire[/name_f].

I like both of those combos more than [name_f]Clara[/name_f] and [name_u]Josie[/name_u] together.

Calla’s not my taste, and [name_f]Claire[/name_f] is alright but doesn’t have the same kind of vibe as [name_f]Clara[/name_f].
What would you pair with [name_u]Josie[/name_u] instead?

[name_u]Josie[/name_u] and [name_f]Paige[/name_f]
[name_u]Josie[/name_u] and [name_f]Mabel[/name_f]
[name_u]Josie[/name_u] and [name_f]Hope[/name_f]

Thank you - what about for [name_f]Clara[/name_f]?

Also, I’m thinking [name_u]Josie[/name_u] and [name_f]Kate[/name_f] instead.

Clara feels really refined to me so i would recommend similar feeling names, like Alice or Cecily. i would feel better if i was Josie and my sister was Kate, because Josie and Kate have similar vibes and are both nickname names. i do generally really dislike Josie, however, so regardless i wouldn’t want to be called it (so take my opinion with a grain of salt).

I absolutely love [name_u]Josie[/name_u] on its own and I love the name [name_f]Clara[/name_f] as well.

I think [name_f]Clara[/name_f] and [name_u]Josie[/name_u] work wonderfully as sisters!

[name_f]Clara[/name_f] and [name_u]Josie[/name_u] make the sweetest set and [name_u]Josie[/name_u] feels perfectly solid and substantial enough!

[name_u]Josie[/name_u] and [name_f]Clara[/name_f] sound good - I think the -ie and Cl- is easier to say than -ra and [name_u]Jo[/name_u]-
