I love love love the name [name]Josephine[/name]. However, it’s just too long and I know we will call her by a nickname. I can’t decide on which one I like best. [name]Josie[/name], [name]Posey[/name], [name]Jo[/name]? I like [name]Posey[/name], but I feel like it won’t age well. What do you think?
First: [name]Josephine[/name] is great. I love it. So classic, with great literary connections.
Second: I think [name]Posey[/name] is a great nickname for [name]Josephine[/name]. It’s a nickname, and if she thinks it doesn’t suit her as she grows older, then she can always say she wants to go by [name]Josephine[/name].
Third: The combo [name]Josephine[/name] [name]Pearl[/name] is stunning. J’dour!

[name]Love[/name] [name]Josephine[/name] [name]Pearl[/name]! My favorite nn for [name]Josephine[/name] is [name]Josie[/name], but [name]Posey[/name] works particularly well with [name]Josephine[/name] [name]Pearl[/name]. That’s the great thing about a name like [name]Josephine[/name]; if she feels one nickname doesn’t suit her, she can opt to be called another! Good luck!
I like [name]Josephine[/name] [name]Pearl[/name]! [name]Josephine[/name] [name]Emilia[/name] [name]Pearl[/name] was on my list for a short while, nn [name]Posey[/name]. I now prefer the spelling [name]Posy[/name], but I absolutely adore that as the nn! The others are okay, but none of them compare to [name]Posy[/name], imo.
I adore the name [name]Josephine[/name]! Nickname-wise, I prefer [name]Josie[/name]. While I personally think [name]Posey[/name] is super-cute, she may have to deal with that awful word that kids might call her instead.
Not a [name]Josephine[/name], but as a nickname, I go by [name]Josie[/name] myself, I like it.
I don’t think it matters, however, if [name]Posy[/name] ages well. If she wants to drop it in highschool or college or in the Marines, she can. It’s a nick, not her legal name.
[name]Josephine[/name] [name]Pearl[/name] is very pretty. I’d use the nn [name]Fina[/name] (meaning ‘the pretty one’ ~ish in Swedish) or Phina.
I like [name]Josie[/name] or [name]Jojo[/name] personally. [name]Posey[/name] is cute but I think almost TOO cute.
I like the nn Sepphie for [name]Josephine[/name] although not a fan of [name]Josephine[/name], I think it is better than just using [name]Josie[/name] (my hated name) and loving [name]Pearl[/name] in the middle. I would let the child choose their nn themselves or just let it come naturally from what you find coming out of your mouth most often.
