Josephine + Middle Name?

SomersIsles

Per DH request... I was told to seek honest feedback on the name Josephine, should we have a baby girl.  Personally I love it and DH is warming up to it but he thinks the general public will think it's an ugly name? 

Thoughts? 

And, any suggestions on middle names?

Thanks

I love Josephine and love all of the nn options such as Jo and Joey.

Here are some mn options I think sound nice:
Josephine Elise
Josephine Hope
Josephine Marie
Josephine Brynn
Josephine Elaine
Josephine Anne
Josephine Grace
Josephine Mae
Josephine Rose
Josephine Claire


I know, a lot of so-called fillers there, but I think they sound nice, and even more a bonus if any happen to be family names for you.

I've never been the biggest fan of Josephine, BUT I would never side-eye it or think, "Ew, why would you name your kid that?" 

I would still think it's beautiful and dignified. It just happens to not be my style.

My mom is Josephine and my friend just has a 1 month old names Josephine Rose. . Josephine is a classic, beautiful name!!

I LOVE Josephine. I know a little girl named Josephine Lily, which I think is a beautiful combination.

Ooh! I love Pearl!

I was entertaining the middle name Viola (great grandmother). You kind of have to pause after the first name but I dunno.

I'm totally sold on the first name now all we need is a girl! Haha

I think DH is into it now
