Veda vs. Josephine

My husband and I are not finding out what we are having. Our boy name is a family name and is already decided. But we are between 2 girl names. Since we are not telling anyone our names, i am looking for opinions from people who do not know us! So what do you think, [name_f]Veda[/name_f] [vey-duh] or [name_f]Josephine[/name_f]?

I love [name_f]Josephine[/name_f]! Such a classic, pretty and timeless name that would be gorgeous on any little girl. I’m not so keen on [name_f]Veda[/name_f] personally, although I like the way it looks. It’s unique and has a lovely meaning though.

[name_f]Josephine[/name_f]!! [name_f]Veda[/name_f] pales in comparison. [name_f]Josephine[/name_f] is a classic.

I like [name_f]Veda[/name_f] better. For some reason, I’m not a big fan of [name_f]Josephine[/name_f]. I know a little girl named [name_u]Vida[/name_u], which is similar, and I’ve always liked it on her.

I prefer [name_f]Veda[/name_f]. It’s spunky and pretty. [name_f]Veda[/name_f] [name_f]Josephine[/name_f] would be a nice combination!

[name_f]Veda[/name_f]! So much more interesting, feminine and fun than [name_f]Josephine[/name_f] in my opinion!

My vote would be for [name_f]Josephine[/name_f]. It is lovely by itself and has great nn potential: [name_u]Jojo[/name_u] for a child, [name_u]Josie[/name_u] which is more feminine or [name_u]Joey[/name_u] and [name_u]Jo[/name_u] for a tomboy.
I also think [name_f]Josephine[/name_f] [name_f]Veda[/name_f] flows well. I am slightly bias tho :wink:

I love [name_f]Josephine[/name_f], but please go with [name_f]Veda[/name_f]. It’s so pretty and underused.

I love [name_f]Veda[/name_f], but as it does somewhat remind me of Darth Vader, I prefer [name_u]Vega[/name_u] or [name_f]Leda[/name_f]. [name_f]Josephine[/name_f] is lovely, especially with the emphasis on the last syllable. My favorite nicknames are [name_f]Posy[/name_f] and Zéphine <3 I love the suggestion of Veda Josephine.

I prefer [name_f]Veda[/name_f] but only if it’s spelt Vayda.

Never liked the name [name_f]Josephine[/name_f]. What about [name_f]Joanna[/name_f]? Or [name_f]Jayda[/name_f]?

I love [name_f]Josephine[/name_f]! Although I echo an earlier comment–[name_f]Veda[/name_f] [name_f]Josephine[/name_f] is a striking combination.

[name_f]Josephine[/name_f] is our top choice, at the moment, but I’d do [name_f]Veda[/name_f] in a heartbeat if I could get my husband on board (and I’ve tried!).

[name_f]Veda[/name_f] [name_f]Josephine[/name_f]
[name_f]Josephine[/name_f] [name_f]Veda[/name_f]

You can’t go wrong.

What is your boy name? Perhaps its style fits better with either [name_f]Veda[/name_f] or [name_f]Josephine[/name_f]?

[name_f]Josephine[/name_f] by a mile! It’s classic and pretty, not to mention literary, and it has cute nn options.
