RANK & ADD- LONGER VERSION of Jo?

I love the Little Woman character “Jo” and think the name is spunky and cool- but I find longer versions “Josephine”, “Jocelyn” to be rather frail and antique. Is there a longer version of “Jo” that is better?
Here are all my ideas for names- please add more & I will update the poll!!!

Maybe [name_u]Joan[/name_u] or [name_u]Jonah[/name_u]? But even still… [name_u]Jo[/name_u] [name_u]March[/name_u] is a [name_f]Josephine[/name_f], and she’s anything but frail! I think her name is full of fire and power!

[name_f]Josette[/name_f] might appeal to you? Has the poetic vibes without being as old school.

[name_u]Jordan[/name_u] is okay and [name_f]Jourdaine[/name_f] is really interesting - but it was hard to vote as I wouldn’t describe the choices as poetic/regal/beautiful (more modern, creative, fun and slightly edgy)

Some other ideas:

[name_f]Jordana[/name_f] / [name_f]Jordanne[/name_f]

[name_f]Josette[/name_f]

[name_f]Joelle[/name_f] / [name_f]Joella[/name_f]

[name_f]Joliet[/name_f]

[name_f]Jolene[/name_f]

[name_u]Journey[/name_u]

[name_f]Joetta[/name_f]

Joquil

[name_f]Jolie[/name_f]

[name_f]Jovie[/name_f]

[name_f]Joanie[/name_f] / [name_u]Joni[/name_u]

[name_f]Jocasta[/name_f]

[name_f]Jorja[/name_f]

[name_f]Josiane[/name_f]

[name_u]Juno[/name_u]

Personally, I like the spunk of [name_u]Juno[/name_u] nn [name_u]Jo[/name_u], but that might be short for you.

[name_f]Joy[/name_f]
[name_f]Jolie[/name_f]
[name_f]Georgia[/name_f]
[name_u]Jodie[/name_u]
[name_u]Jules[/name_u]
[name_f]Bijou[/name_f]
[name_f]Katja[/name_f]
Sojourn
[name_f]Marjorie[/name_f]
[name_f]Jonquil[/name_f]
[name_f]Jovita[/name_f]
[name_f]Marjolaine[/name_f]

I think [name_f]Jozlyn[/name_f] or maybe even [name_f]Joslyn[/name_f] may be my favorite for a longer version of [name_u]Jo[/name_u]. For some reason I’m drawn to them. Though, [name_f]Josette[/name_f] and [name_f]Josepha[/name_f] are a very close second!
