Need help with girls first name

in 1st Trimester

Ok so I tried posting this on the Baby Names board and didnt really get any responses so I'm hoping you all will give a thought/opinion. 

Hello all, I'm still in the very early stages (4 wks, 4 days) but my husband and I CANNOT find a girls name we can agree on. 

His mother passed away when he was 8 and her name was Josephine so we know we definately want to use it as a middle name, but we just cannot agree on a first name.  He really wants to be able to call her _______ Jo, for instance, Mary Jo, etc., which I am not thrilled with.

Any suggestions/thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

    we're going to have a hard time agreeing on names too, so I'm waiting until we know to even talk about it.  If you're not going to find out I'd still wait another few months to worry, you may just hear something one day you like. Like you said, you're very early, its not worth the stress right now

    This doesn't work well with the Jo, but we're going with Claire for a girl.

    Ditto. It's a very pretty and not overly used name. I know that doesn't really help but I'm not really a fan of your husband's "Betty Jo" idea.

    Yeah I agree with others, Josephine is a beautiful name and if you like it you can call her by her whole name or is can be shortened to Josie, Joey, Jo  just a thought.

    I actually like the name Josephine. You really don't hear that very often. Anyone watch Dawson's Creek?

    My mom's name is Mary Jo.  Neither she nor I are fans.  She gets a lot of "Mary Joe", for some reason, and she just feels that her name sounds kind of lower-class. 

    I do love the name Josephine all by itself, though, especially with the nickname Josie.  We'd seriously considered it but DH's name is Jody and we finally decided it sounded too much like his name.

    Love the name Josephine. Friends of mine named their daughter that. I would actually use that as the first name.

     You guys could call her Maddy-Jo?

    I like Josephine as well.  I have a cousin who named their daughter Abigail Jo - they call her Abby mostly but sometimes to be cutesy you'll hear them say Abby-Jo.  I think that's cute.
