Baby Names

Question about Nickname?

DD is named Amelia and goes by Mia

We are TTC#2 and I am starting to think of names since that took me FOREVER and we changed it at the last minute.

For a girl I love the name Josephine...and I love the nickname Joey.

My question is...
Do you like it?
Is it bad that it's a boy's name?

I don't really like the nickname Josie.

Re: Question about Nickname?

  • With all the girls being given boy names as their actual name, I would think most would like/accept a boy nickname with a feminine girl name as full name. It gives two very different options. I like it. Like Samantha/Sam, Charlotte/Charlie.

    I do also really like Josie though. :)

    I agree w/ this. I'm not a fan of just giving a girl a boy name, but  I don't mind nicknames, b/c as Ang said, she still has a proper female name she can use as well.

    Fwiw, I actually prefer Joey to Josie too. I also think the trend for these days is that most Josephs are just Joseph or Joe, not Joey.

    Josephine is pretty, but I don't like Jo or Joey. This is also why I wouldn't use names like Charlotte or Samantha because they end up being Charlie or Sam. It's just NMS to use boy names for girls.?
  • I like Josephine a lot! Josie is a cute nn.?

    This. I like Josephine and could handle Josie as a nickname. Don't like Joey at all.

  • I like it. Reminds me of Dawson's Creek though.
  • I LOVE it. This baby will be Penelope Jane and some of my choices for a future girl are:

    Josephine Lily

    Cecilia Louise

    Adelina Felicity

     If we choose Josephine next, I like the fact that she could go by Josie, Joey, Jo, etc.

    I agree! But I also agree with the OP: Not a fan of Josie, but Joey is cute.

     

  • I think Joey is cute. I read this earlier and just thought of Jolie.  I think Jolie is pretty and very feminine.
