I love the name [name]Josephine[/name] nn [name]Posie[/name] (I prefer the spelling [name]Posey[/name]). I think [name]Posey[/name] is the cutest.

I also love [name]Imogen[/name] [name]Louise[/name], nn [name]Immy[/name].

I honestly think most of your nicknames are a stretch. [name]Imogen[/name] nn [name]Gemma[/name]? No way (sorry!) Same with [name]Clementine[/name] nn [name]Clea[/name], [name]Josephine[/name] nn [name]Jemma[/name] and [name]June[/name], [name]Imogen[/name] nn [name]Millie[/name], etc. [name]Gemma[/name], [name]Clea[/name] and [name]June[/name] are all beautiful names on their own, and [name]Millie[/name] is an adorable nickname for [name]Amelia[/name], [name]Millicent[/name], [name]Camilla[/name]. good luck

[name]Josephine[/name] [name]Emilia[/name] - [name]Jemma[/name], [name]Jem[/name], [name]Jo[/name], [name]Jojo[/name], [name]Fina[/name]- I like all the nicknames, but I think [name]Jemma[/name] and [name]Jem[/name] may be a bit of a stretch. I think [name]Fina[/name] may make more sense for [name]Josephina[/name] than [name]Josephine[/name], but I wouldn’t say that it’s too much.

[name]Josephine[/name] [name]Marie[/name] - [name]Jemma[/name], [name]Jem[/name]- I think it’s a bit of a stretch.

[name]Josephine[/name] [name]Grier[/name] - [name]Posie[/name], [name]Posey[/name], [name]Poe[/name]- I think they all make sense. Personally I prefer [name]Josie[/name], but [name]Posie[/name] is nice too.

[name]Josephine[/name] [name]Louise[/name] - [name]June[/name], [name]Junie[/name], [name]Joss[/name]- I think [name]Joss[/name] is fine, but [name]June[/name] and [name]Junie[/name] are totally seperate from [name]Josephine[/name] from me.

[name]Imogen[/name] [name]Emilia[/name] - Imma, [name]Emmie[/name]- I think [name]Emmie[/name] is a little bit of a stretch, but not too much.

[name]Imogen[/name] [name]Grier[/name] - [name]Gemma[/name], [name]Gigi[/name]- [name]Gigi[/name] I think is fine, but I think [name]Genna[/name] would make more sense than [name]Gemma[/name].

[name]Imogen[/name] [name]Marie[/name] - Immie, [name]Immy[/name], [name]Minnie[/name]- The only one I don’t get is [name]Minnie[/name]. I love Immie- it’s adorable!

[name]Imogen[/name] [name]Louise[/name] - [name]Millie[/name]- I don’t care for [name]Millie[/name] in this case.

[name]Clementine[/name] [name]Emilia[/name] - [name]Clemmie[/name], [name]Emmie[/name], [name]Clea[/name]- All nice. [name]Clea[/name] is my favorite.

[name]Clementine[/name] [name]Marie[/name] - [name]Millie[/name], [name]Minnie[/name]- I think [name]Minnie[/name] is fine in this case, but I prefer [name]Millie[/name] for something with a mil or mel in it.

[name]Clementine[/name] [name]Grier[/name] - [name]Tillie[/name]- To me, [name]Tillie[/name] is for [name]MAtilda[/name].

[name]Clementine[/name] [name]Louise[/name] - [name]Cleo[/name], [name]Lulu[/name]- I love [name]Cleo[/name]! If you like [name]Lulu[/name], I’d switch it to [name]Louise[/name] [name]Clementine[/name].

I don’t believe that nicknames can be too much of a stretch. Why? Because they’re nicknames. Call your child whatever you want! Sometimes I prefer nicknames to proper names, but I like using a variety of nicknames with my daughter. Sometimes it’s all the more sweeter when someone calls you a special nickname. For example: DH calls me [name]Sheila[/name], which is not my name, but I love it so much that I use it here.
