[name]Welcome[/name] to Nameberry!
[name]Augusta[/name] [name]Josephine[/name] - I love the name [name]Augusta[/name]! I think its got this kind of quirky, old-fashioned vibe that is definitely coming into style. Auggie or [name]Gussie[/name] make me picture a bouncing, happy little girl, while [name]Augusta[/name] is transformed into a strong and confident woman. [name]Josephine[/name] is lovely, but I don’t think they go well together. The flow seems a bit off. Some other ideas: [name]Augusta[/name] [name]Jane[/name], [name]Augusta[/name] [name]Jasmine[/name], [name]Augusta[/name] [name]Evelyn[/name], [name]Augusta[/name] [name]Jacqueline[/name], [name]Augusta[/name] [name]Joline[/name]. My favorite is [name]Augusta[/name] [name]Jacqueline[/name] since it maintains the “een” ending of [name]Josephine[/name] and just looks absolutely elegant paired with [name]Augusta[/name].
[name]Hermione[/name] [name]Josephine[/name] - I actually like the name [name]Hermione[/name] - all the sounds are very pretty, and I think it goes very nicely with [name]Josephine[/name]. However, in my opinion, it is still a bit too soon to use [name]Hermione[/name] because of [name]Harry[/name] [name]Potter[/name]. Luckily though, I was talking with some 5th graders over the summer, and NONE of them had actually read the books. They had all seen the movies when they came out, but they hadn’t actually read them. Because of this, I think in 4 or 5 years, it would be safe to use it without any teasing in school - although you might have to deal with other adults asking you about being a [name]Harry[/name] [name]Potter[/name] fan. I would personally save this name, since I think she would make a beautiful sister next to an [name]Augusta[/name].
[name]Rosemary[/name] [name]Josephine[/name] - [name]Rosemary[/name], personally, isn’t really my style - however, I picture a sweet, charming girl, especially with the nickname [name]Romy[/name]. It doesn’t exude strength, per say, as [name]Augusta[/name] does. Its more gentle and kind. [name]Rosemary[/name] [name]Josephine[/name] sounds very nice, but here are a few more ideas just in case you want them: [name]Rosemary[/name] [name]Alice[/name], [name]Rosemary[/name] [name]Jane[/name], [name]Rosemary[/name] [name]Seraphine[/name], [name]Rosemary[/name] [name]Lou[/name], [name]Rosemary[/name] [name]Eve[/name], [name]Rosemary[/name] [name]Janine[/name].
My favorite is hands down [name]Augusta[/name] [name]Jacqueline[/name], with [name]Hermione[/name] [name]Josephine[/name] if you used it a few years down the road. I [name]LOVE[/name] the sibset of [name]Augusta[/name] [name]Jacqueline[/name] and [name]Hermione[/name] [name]Jane[/name]. I think their slightly “out there”/unusual first names are paired perfectly with simple, beautiful, accessible middles. Best of luck!
