Josephine or Althea?

Which do you prefer: [name_f]Josephine[/name_f] or [name_f]Althea[/name_f]? (I’m also curious if you’d prefer Alethea—and how you pronounce it—all-ih-THEE-uh or ah-LEE-thee-uh.)

I like:

[name_f]Josephine[/name_f] [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f]
[name_f]Josephine[/name_f] [name_f]Emilia[/name_f]
[name_f]Josephine[/name_f] [name_f]Olivia[/name_f]
[name_f]Josephine[/name_f] [name_f]Althea[/name_f]
[name_f]Althea[/name_f] [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f]
[name_f]Althea[/name_f] [name_f]Frances[/name_f]
[name_f]Althea[/name_f] [name_f]Josephine[/name_f]
[name_f]Alethea[/name_f] [name_f]Sophia[/name_f]
[name_f]Alethea[/name_f] [name_f]Jane[/name_f]

I slightly prefer [name_f]Josephine[/name_f], however, [name_f]Althea[/name_f] [name_f]Frances[/name_f] is my favourite combo!
I prefer [name_f]Althea[/name_f] to [name_f]Alethea[/name_f], which I’d pronounce uh-lee-thee-uh (I know an [name_f]Alethea[/name_f] who pronounces it that way).

I like [name_f]Josephine[/name_f]! Any of your [name_f]Josephine[/name_f] combos are pretty!

[name_f]Althea[/name_f] [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] is wonderful!!

[name_f]Althea[/name_f] is lovely and so underappreciated! [name_f]Althea[/name_f] [name_f]Frances[/name_f] is my favorite, although I’d probably go with [name_f]Althea[/name_f] [name_f]Jane[/name_f] if you’re open to that tweak. I prefer [name_f]Althea[/name_f] over [name_f]Alethea[/name_f]!

I much prefer [name_f]Josephine[/name_f] to both [name_f]Althea[/name_f] and [name_f]Alethea[/name_f]. [name_f]Josephine[/name_f] [name_f]Emilia[/name_f] is lovely!

I prefer [name_f]Althea[/name_f]! It’s actually my sisters fav name, she pronounces it al-THAY-uh, [name_f]Althea[/name_f] [name_f]Frances[/name_f] is stunning!

I prefer [name_f]Josephine[/name_f], but agree with pp that [name_f]Althea[/name_f] [name_f]Frances[/name_f] is the best combo. I like [name_f]Althea[/name_f] over [name_f]Alethea[/name_f].

I prefer [name_f]Alethea[/name_f] to [name_f]Althea[/name_f] and I PN it the second way you gave. [name_f]Josephine[/name_f] wins as my favourite though.

I prefer Josephine!I love [name_f]Josephine[/name_f] [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f], but if I’m able to mix and match I think my favorite would be [name_f]Josephine[/name_f] [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

I much prefer [name_f]Josephine[/name_f]! I don’t really like [name_f]Althea[/name_f], it’s okay, but I love [name_f]Josephine[/name_f]!

[name_f]Josephine[/name_f] charlotte

[name_f]Josephine[/name_f] [name_f]Emilia[/name_f] & [name_f]Josephine[/name_f] [name_f]Olivia[/name_f] are wonderful!

[name_f]Josephine[/name_f]! I think the nickname [name_u]Jo[/name_u] is really cute. [name_f]Josephine[/name_f] [name_f]Althea[/name_f] is my favorite.

[name_f]Josephine[/name_f], though I like both. But [name_f]Anthea[/name_f] would be my absolute favorite

[name_f]Alethea[/name_f] [name_f]Jane[/name_f] (pronounced al-eh-thee-uh) is my favourite combination! [name_f]Alethea[/name_f] is so under appreciated in my opinion!

I prefer [name_f]Althea[/name_f]. It sounds beautiful and mythological and more unexpected than [name_f]Josephine[/name_f]. [name_f]Thea[/name_f] is a sweet spunky nickname! [name_f]Althea[/name_f] [name_f]Frances[/name_f] is my favorite of your combos.

I would pronounce [name_f]Alethea[/name_f] A-lay-thea. And I probably prefer the sound of that over [name_f]Althea[/name_f]. But both are beautiful!! I do love [name_f]Josephine[/name_f] as well so it’s hard to pick. I like [name_f]Alethea[/name_f] [name_f]Sophia[/name_f] & [name_f]Josephine[/name_f] [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] the best. I would also really like [name_f]Josephine[/name_f] [name_f]Frances[/name_f] or [name_f]Josephine[/name_f] [name_f]Sophia[/name_f]. :heart:

I prefer [name_f]Althea[/name_f]! [name_f]Althea[/name_f] [name_f]Frances[/name_f] is gorgeous.

[name_f]My[/name_f] instinct is to pronounce [name_f]Alethea[/name_f] A-LAY-thee-uh, but I doubt that’s correct. It’s very pretty either way! I like it as well as [name_f]Althea[/name_f].

[name_f]Althea[/name_f]! [name_u]Love[/name_u] [name_f]Althea[/name_f] [name_f]Frances[/name_f] a lot!
