Middle name for Josephine

[name_m]Hi[/name_m] name-berries,
I would love your feedback on some middle names for my daughter who will be making her debut on [name_u]Valentine[/name_u]'s day.

We have picked the first name [name_f]Josephine[/name_f] and we have a ten letter surname so think a short middle name is the best idea.

[name_f]Josephine[/name_f] [name_f]Leah[/name_f] ( is a family name)
[name_f]Josephine[/name_f] [name_f]Violet[/name_f] ( not a family name but a floral name to tie with her sisters middle name, which is [name_f]Rose[/name_f]. I also thought it was a subtle romantic note to fit her valentines birthday.)

Which name do you think sounds best, has the most character and will grow with the child into adulthood?

Thanks.

[name_m]Hi[/name_m], and congratulations! [name_f]Josephine[/name_f] is a beautiful name! I love [name_f]Josephine[/name_f] [name_f]Leah[/name_f], as it is a family name, and [name_f]Leah[/name_f] has four letters, just like [name_f]Rose[/name_f].

Although iam not a fan of [name_f]Leah[/name_f] , i think it goes beautifuly with [name_f]Josephine[/name_f] . [name_f]Josephine[/name_f] [name_f]Leah[/name_f] is a very cute name and it will fit her in all the stages of her life .

Best of luck ! :slight_smile:

[name_f]Josephine[/name_f] [name_f]Rose[/name_f]. I don’t uaually vote for [name_f]Rose[/name_f] in the middle spot because it’s just so common now. But I love the idea Of it as a subtle symbol for a valentine birthday. Any of these middles would be lovely though.

[name_f]Josephine[/name_f] [name_f]Leah[/name_f] is sweet! [name_f]Josephine[/name_f] [name_f]Lily[/name_f] comes to mind also…

Although they are both nice combinations, I’d go with [name_f]Josephine[/name_f] [name_f]Leah[/name_f] because of the family connection.

I really love both [name_f]Leah[/name_f] and [name_f]Violet[/name_f] as mn choices :slight_smile: I love how [name_f]Leah[/name_f] sounds but right now I’m obsessed with the name [name_f]Violet[/name_f] so that would get my vote :slight_smile:

[name_f]Josephine[/name_f] [name_u]Ruby[/name_u] would fit a [name_u]Valentine[/name_u]'s baby perfectly.

[name_f]Josephine[/name_f] [name_f]Violet[/name_f] sound the best to me.

[name_f]Josephine[/name_f] [name_f]Leah[/name_f] sounds beautiful together and I do think its nice to have a family connection in the middle.

I really love the tie-in with her sister’s middle name though, if you go with [name_f]Violet[/name_f]! Oh, and then you could adapt that little rhyme, “Roses are _____, Violets are [name_f]Josephine[/name_f], [name_f]Sugar[/name_f] is sweet and we love you!” Okay, I am way overthinking this, sorry. Either one you choose will be perfect.

First off, congrats! The name [name_f]Josephine[/name_f] is one of my favorites :slight_smile:

Personally, I like [name_f]Josephine[/name_f] [name_f]Leah[/name_f] more than [name_f]Josephine[/name_f] [name_f]Violet[/name_f]. However, I feel like both names would be equally good for [name_f]Josephine[/name_f].

I honestly think [name_f]Josephine[/name_f] [name_f]Leah[/name_f] sounds better.

Congrats to you and welcome to Nameberry!

I think [name_f]Josephine[/name_f] is a vintage gem so I’m glad to see someone choosing it. I prefer [name_f]Leah[/name_f] as the mn due to the family connection. I love the name [name_f]Violet[/name_f] but I’m not digging the sound of the combo. I think it may be the “ph” in [name_f]Josephine[/name_f] and the “v” in [name_f]Violet[/name_f]. They just don’t sound right together. Good luck!

I like [name_f]Josephine[/name_f] [name_f]Violet[/name_f]! GORGEOUS!
