First name for middle name Josephine?

mwheeler95 · November 26, 2020, 9:26pm

[name_m]Hi[/name_m] all!

[name_m]Long[/name_m] story short, my friend and I are having a baby girl together and will be co-parenting. He’s asked for [name_f]Josephine[/name_f] as a middle name as it’s a close ‘callback’ to his own name ([name_m]Joshua[/name_m]) and flows nicely with what the last name will be (4 syllable double-barreled surname).

He’s letting me pick out some options and I ultiamtely get the fnal sya, but he also gets to veto the names.

The only issue is that I have absolutely no clue where to start!

I love the following names, but they all either just don’t fit or are too popular:

[name_f]Olivia[/name_f]
[name_f]Katherine[/name_f] ([name_f]Katie[/name_f]?)
[name_f]Poppy[/name_f]
[name_f]Amelia[/name_f] / [name_f]Mia[/name_f] / [name_f]Millie[/name_f]
[name_f]Cora[/name_f]
[name_f]Victoria[/name_f]

Any other suggestions? And what would you give her as a nickname?

Thank you all so much!! xx

Unfortunately some of these don’t flow nicely with her last name

I think it’s because my last name ([name_m]Wheeler[/name_m]) is the second syllable and the ‘L’ sounds are too tongue-twister-y.

Dorothy is one I like though!!! Thank you for your suggestion!!

Cynthia Jospehine “[name_f]Cindy[/name_f]/Thea”
[name_f]Diana[/name_f] [name_f]Josephine[/name_f] “[name_f]Anna[/name_f]”
[name_f]Sabrina[/name_f] [name_f]Josephine[/name_f] “[name_f]Rina[/name_f]”
[name_f]Aviana[/name_f] [name_f]Josephine[/name_f] “[name_u]Avi[/name_u]/Avia/Ava/Ana”

Sorry I can’t think of any more. Most of the names I could think of have L’s in them.

What about [name_f]Kate[/name_f] [name_f]Josephine[/name_f]? I think it flows better than [name_f]Katherine[/name_f] [name_f]Josephine[/name_f] but still gives you the nickname [name_f]Katie[/name_f]!
