Hi there.
Here are my favorite to least favorite rankings:
Josephine-It’s just such a perfect name. It’s classic, elegant, sophisticated, a little sassy, a little adventurous. I like it on its own, but my favorite nn is [name_f]Posey[/name_f]. [name_u]Josie[/name_u] is okay. I don’t care for [name_u]Jo[/name_u] or [name_u]Joey[/name_u] personally.
Lucille-This is lovely too. Old fashioned & smart, but still has a little sass. Very similar to [name_f]Josephine[/name_f], really. [name_f]Lulu[/name_f] & [name_f]Lucy[/name_f] are cheerful adorable nns.
Mirabel-This is nice. Soft, sweet, feminine but not fussy, simple but not over done. [name_f]Mira[/name_f] & [name_f]Miri[/name_f] are great nns too.
Dorothy-I like it. It’s friendly, a little spunky, & very vintage. But totally ready for a comeback.
Honora-I’d really prefer [name_f]Anora[/name_f] for some reason, but I like the sound of this. It’s kind of epic, but the nn [name_f]Nora[/name_f] is soft & sweet.
Rosemary-The only ‘[name_f]Rose[/name_f]’ name that I can’t get into. I think it’s because of ‘[name_f]Rosemary[/name_f]’s [name_u]Baby[/name_u]’. I’ve never seen it, but it sounds creepy.
Vera-A name that I should like, but can’t get into. [name_m]Just[/name_m] doesn’t sound that pretty to me, but it’s short, vintage & I wouldn’t be disappointed to meet a little [name_f]Vera[/name_f].
Winifred-I love love [name_f]Winnie[/name_f]. [name_f]Winifred[/name_f] just sounds a little clunky in my opinion, but it’s not bad.
Majorie-[name_m]Just[/name_m] not my cup of tea. I don’t care for the ‘marge’ sound. It’s unexpected though, which is fun.
Evangeline-I feel like this one is on everyones list. I just don’t like it. It’s too much.
Hope this helps.
