Josephine Esther

barnwife

We are Team Green, and this is the first girls name that DH hasn't immediately vetoed.

WDYT of Josephine Esther? (FWIW, Josephine is a possiblity because we like it and we have grandpas named Joseph. Esther is after a great-grandma.)

We'd probably call her Josie fairly often.

I like it.  I'm a big fan of Josie too

It's cute

Sounds old-ladyish to me.  I generally like classic names, but Josephine is not one of them.  And the NN Josie irritates me for some reason.

I like it

I love the nn Josie!

LOVE it.

I love the nn Josie. Josephine isnt too bad either. But Im not sure I would pair it with Esther. I think that makes it sound very very old. BUT if YOU love it, go for it!

Yeah, the two together sound a little bit stodgy to me (and this is coming from someone who digs the name Esther in particular and old fashioned names in general).

I love Josephine nn Josie. I also like Esther.

I like Josephine Esther. Josie is NMS. I would call her Josephine, but I'm not a NN person.

Sweden+Canada

Love both the names and I think they go really well together

fraglette

I love Josephine Esther, but do not love Josie.  I love Jo for a nickname, like in Little Women.

lovelovelove it.

funnibaby

I really like Josephine.  Not a fan of Esther but since it is a family name I understand why you would want to use it.
