Middle Names for Josie/Josephine

Girl Names

Hey y’all, I’m not really from around here but I was hoping to get some advice.

I recently decided to legally change my name to [name_f]Josephine[/name_f], with [name_u]Josie[/name_u] as a nickname. Now I’m really struggling to find a middle name that fits but maybe also kind of honors my mom/family in some way. so far my options are:

[name_u]Josie[/name_u] [name_f]Joy[/name_f] / [name_f]Josephine[/name_f] [name_f]Joy[/name_f] ([name_f]Joy[/name_f] is my current middle name, I’m just not sure if it still fits with a new first name)
[name_u]Josie[/name_u] [name_u]Kim[/name_u] / [name_f]Josephine[/name_f] [name_u]Kim[/name_u] ([name_u]Kim[/name_u] is my mom’s first name)
[name_u]Josie[/name_u] [name_f]Kara[/name_f] / [name_f]Josephine[/name_f] [name_f]Kara[/name_f] ([name_f]Kara[/name_f] is a shortened version of my original first name)
[name_u]Josie[/name_u] [name_f]Bri[/name_f] / [name_f]Josephine[/name_f] [name_f]Bri[/name_f] (the rest of these are just ones I like the sound of)
[name_u]Josie[/name_u] [name_f]May[/name_f] / [name_f]Josephine[/name_f] [name_f]May[/name_f]
[name_u]Josie[/name_u] [name_u]Page[/name_u] / [name_f]Josephine[/name_f] [name_u]Page[/name_u]

[name_f]My[/name_f] last name starts with ch and is 1 syllable.

I’m curious to know what everyone thinks about the flow of 'em. I’m leaning more toward [name_f]Joy[/name_f] and [name_f]May[/name_f] just because a short 1 syllable middle name seems to balance out how long [name_f]Josephine[/name_f] is, but I’m also very open to new suggestions too!

Josie [name_u]Kay[/name_u]?

I’m a big fan of one syllable middles and I like [name_f]May[/name_f], [name_u]Kim[/name_u] and [name_u]Page[/name_u] for you. That being said, [name_f]Kara[/name_f] also flows well with [name_u]Josie[/name_u]/Josephine and your 1 syllable last name. You’ve got some good options here.

I’m very fond of [name_u]Josie[/name_u]/Josephine :slight_smile:

Welcome to Nameberry, by the way!

I love the alliteration of [name_u]Josie[/name_u]/Josephine [name_f]Joy[/name_f]. I also really like [name_u]Josie[/name_u]/Josephine [name_f]May[/name_f]. Good luck!

I would go for [name_f]Josephine[/name_f] [name_f]Kara[/name_f] or [name_f]Josephine[/name_f] [name_u]Page[/name_u]

Hey [name_f]Joy[/name_f]’s my middle name too !

Definitely a fan of the one-syllable middle name, like [name_u]Kim[/name_u] or [name_f]May[/name_f]. The current one definitely fits too though ! (i would know haha) A couple other ones (not listed) that I like would be [name_f]Josephine[/name_f] [name_f]Belle[/name_f] , or perhaps even [name_f]Josephine[/name_f] [name_f]Lilia[/name_f] although that seems a bit too elaborate for what you’re going for.
